About Linda
Linda Melseth is a licensed mental health counselor in Washington with 17 years of experience. She focuses on grief, low self-esteem, depression, and navigating major life changes. Linda aims to create an open space where people can speak honestly about what they are feeling and thinking.
She helps people cope after loss and work through the heavy feelings that follow grief. Linda also supports clients dealing with low confidence and struggles with motivation.
How Linda works
Her approach is straightforward and supportive, with attention to practical steps people can try between sessions. Clients looking for care around compassion fatigue, guilt, or forgiveness will find those topics addressed directly. Linda pays attention to the ways life purpose and self-love affect everyday choices.
She listens for patterns that contribute to stuck feelings and helps clients experiment with new ways of coping. Sessions are conversational and paced to each person. Linda invites questions and sets collaborative goals so progress is clear.
The style is calm, patient, and focused on making small, meaningful changes. Work begins by identifying what matters most to the client and what gets in the way. From there she helps build routines and strategies to reduce symptoms and increase well-being.
Communication between sessions can include practical suggestions and check-ins to keep momentum moving.

Approaches that guide online work and practical options
Linda uses evidence-based techniques focused on what helps people feel steadier and more able to cope. She works on grief-related coping skills that help people manage intense emotions and regain routine after a loss. These techniques teach ways to tolerate strong feelings and connect daily actions to recovery.She also addresses depression and low self-esteem with structured, problem-focused methods that break down goals into small steps. This can involve planning activities to boost motivation, testing new behaviors, and reflecting on results to build confidence and self-love.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Linda will talk with each person about their needs, goals, and preferences, then shape the methods used. Clients collaborate on what to try and adjust the plan as progress unfolds.
Online therapy is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for deeper conversational work, while phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text messaging allow shorter check-ins and quick reminders between sessions. These options make scheduling more flexible and help maintain steady support even with busy days.
