About Linda
Her background includes work in hospitals, schools, and community mental health settings. That range means she has seen many types of situations and can draw on practical ways to help. Sessions focus on understanding what is happening now and finding steps that feel manageable.
Linda’s approach blends Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Solution-Focused Therapy. She listens first, helps identify unhelpful thinking patterns, and then works toward small, realistic changes. Conversations are aimed at building clarity and usable coping skills rather than jargon or long lectures.
She often helps people dealing with chronic pain, illness, caregiving stress, blended family concerns, isolation, and midlife challenges. She also addresses communication problems, forgiveness, and substance use issues with a practical, step-by-step focus.
New clients are guided through an initial matching and scheduling process. Linda encourages people to take the first step and notes that starting therapy can feel courageous. Her practice is built around steady, collaborative work toward clearer choices and better daily routines.

How Linda’s approaches translate to online work
Linda uses Client-Centered Therapy to put the person’s experience first, offering steady listening and validation so people feel heard. This approach helps when someone needs space to talk through loss, stress, or relationship strain.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used to identify and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. CBT tools can help with anxiety, mood problems, and coping with chronic illness by teaching concrete skills to try between sessions.
She also draws on Solution-Focused Therapy to set short-term, achievable goals. That method keeps sessions practical and focused on what a person can do next to feel better or gain some control.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will listen, discuss goals, and recommend which methods to use. Clients and the therapist decide collaboratively and adjust the plan as needed.
Confirm the available session formats before booking, as the biography does not list specific options. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life - sessions can be scheduled around work or caregiving, require less travel time, and can allow for focused check-ins between in-person visits. Talk with the therapist to learn which session arrangements will best match daily routines and needs.
