01About Linda
Linda Levinson is an Ohio-based licensed professional clinician who brings ten years of experience in mental health and substance abuse care. She began her career supporting people recovering from opioid addiction and co-occurring disorders, and she continues to work with individuals facing addiction and its related problems. Linda uses straightforward, practical methods to help people find clearer ways forward.
Her background includes work with process addictions like shopping, gaming, Internet use, exercise, gambling, and sex and love addictions.
Background and approach
She also supports people dealing with trauma, stress, depression, anxiety, anger, low self-esteem, and grief. Her experience includes helping people who are exploring sexual identity and those from the LGBTQIA community. Linda combines approaches to match each person’s needs.
She draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and client-centered work, among other methods. Sessions focus on identifying what’s holding someone back and using personal strengths to reach goals. In sessions she emphasizes acceptance and empowerment.
That often means naming patterns, trying small behavior changes, and practicing skills between meetings. She also addresses relationship concerns, intimacy-related questions, parental stress, and career or life transitions. People connecting with her can expect clear, goal-oriented conversations.
She offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to fit different schedules and needs. Linda’s practice aims to make progress feel practical and manageable.

04Online support
How therapeutic approaches translate to online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then choose actions that align with personal values. It can help with anxiety, depression, addiction, and major life transitions by building committed, values-based steps. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and uses simple, practical exercises to shift unhelpful patterns. CBT is often useful for anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and coping skills. Client-centered therapy emphasizes listening and collaboration, giving people space to steer the work while the therapist reflects and supports their goals.Finding the right approach is part of the process. Linda works collaboratively to decide which methods fit each person's goals, needs, and preferences. That may mean combining elements of ACT, CBT, and client-centered work and adjusting the plan as progress is made.
Online sessions bring practical benefits. Video calls let people keep visual contact and work through exercises together. Phone sessions are helpful when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text-based messaging allow quick check-ins, brief coaching, or ongoing support between meetings. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and to continue work across life changes.
