How Linda works

Linda helps clients set practical steps they can try between meetings. She places attention on understanding what led to current difficulties and on small changes that make daily life easier. Linda has worked with many concerns linked to trauma and attachment, including abandonment, adoption and foster care, and dissociation.
She also supports people dealing with eating issues, bipolar disorder, ADHD, and substance use challenges. Her background includes work with aging and geriatric issues as well as a range of personality and mood presentations. Clients can expect a calm, direct style that balances empathy with actionable tools.

Online support options
Approaches that guide online sessions
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current ways of connecting and reacting. It helps people understand patterns in relationships and reduce repeating old hurts. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on the link between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. It offers practical exercises to change unhelpful thinking and build new coping habits.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Linda will discuss goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before. Together the therapist and client decide whether to focus more on attachment patterns, CBT techniques, or include hypnotherapy as another tool.
Online sessions use video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different needs. Video sessions let people see facial cues and hold longer conversations. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can fit a break at work. Chat and text are useful for shorter check-ins, homework and frequent contact between meetings. These options aim to make therapy easier to fit into everyday life while keeping the focus on progress and practical change.
