Linda aims to treat everyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion. She focuses on building a non-judgmental space where people can talk honestly about hard things. The therapist and client work together to set goals and adjust the plan as needed.

04Online support

How CBT and online sessions work together

CBT, or Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and try small, concrete changes to see if things improve. It is useful for anxiety, depression, social anxiety, and adjusting to life changes. Sessions focus on practical skills and short experiments clients can use between meetings.

In an online setting those CBT tools translate well to exercises, worksheets, and brief behavioral tasks. Conversations stay collaborative - the therapist and client pick techniques based on goals, progress, and personal preference. Finding the right approach is part of the process and adjustments are made as work unfolds.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which offer flexibility for different schedules and needs. Video is useful for full sessions when visual connection helps. Phone sessions can be a simpler option with lower bandwidth needs. Live chat or text messaging can support quick check-ins, shorter reflections, or on-the-go practice between meetings.
