Background and approach
Conversation is balanced with skill-building and real-world strategies. Linda draws on several evidence-informed approaches. She uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people accept difficult feelings while moving toward valued goals.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is used to spot and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. Client-Centered Therapy guides sessions around each person’s priorities and pace. In session she listens, reflects, and offers concrete tools such as mindfulness exercises, behavior experiments, and coping skills.
The emphasis is on strategies that clients can try between sessions. Over time these practical changes add up and help people regain control over daily life. Her training includes a master’s degree in counseling and a Certificate of Advanced Study.
Linda combines long experience with a calm, down-to-earth style. People who want direct help with real problems often find her approach useful.

04Online support
Therapeutic approaches and online care
Linda often uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck, then take steps toward what matters to them. ACT can be useful for anxiety, stress, and life transitions where values-based choices matter. She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to identify patterns of thinking and behavior that keep problems going, and then teaches practical exercises to change those patterns and reduce symptoms.Choosing an approach is part of the work together. The therapist and client review goals, try methods, and adjust the plan so it fits the person’s needs and preferences. This collaborative process helps find techniques that feel helpful and realistic for daily life.
Online sessions include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to fit different schedules and needs. Video is useful for face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can be shorter check-ins or a lower-bandwidth option. Live chat and text messaging work well for quick check-ins, brief skills practice, or when writing feels easier than speaking. These options make it possible to keep therapy consistent while balancing work, family, and other responsibilities.
