She starts sessions with a client-centered approach that focuses on the person’s goals and what matters most to them.
Background and approach
Linda uses mindfulness to help people notice patterns in thoughts and feelings. She also draws on cognitive-behavioral skills and dialectical strategies to teach concrete tools for managing difficult moments. Her background includes long experience supporting people in recovery from substance use.
That work shaped a direct, honest style that values clear communication and steady accountability. She also helps with relationship struggles, self-esteem, body image, and caregiving stress. In sessions she emphasizes practical steps you can try between meetings.
Conversations move from understanding what keeps a problem going to practicing skills that change daily life. She will pace work to match each person’s needs and readiness. Linda frames therapy as a collaborative effort.
She listens first, clarifies goals, and then works with each person to pick approaches that fit. Her aim is to help people find clearer thinking, steadier moods, and better ways to handle life’s pressures.

04Online support
Therapeutic approaches for online care
Linda commonly uses Client-Centered Therapy to start work by listening closely and shaping goals together. That means the first sessions focus on what matters most to the person and on building a clear plan that reflects their priorities.She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns. For intense emotional reactions and skills for tolerating distress she draws on Dialectical Behavior Therapy, which emphasizes emotion regulation, interpersonal effectiveness, and grounding techniques.
Finding the right approach is a joint process. Linda will talk through options and recommend methods that match the client’s needs and goals, adjusting techniques over time if something isn’t working. The therapist and client decide together what to try first and when to change course.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video lets people work face to face from different locations. Phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is low or for quick check-ins. Live chat and text messaging support shorter check-ins, skill reminders, and between-session contact that can reinforce progress. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy family and work schedules.
