In sessions she focuses on clear goals and simple, doable steps. She draws from client-centered work to follow what matters most to each person.
Background and approach
Cognitive behavioral techniques are used to spot patterns of thought and behavior that make problems worse and to build healthier habits. Motivational interviewing helps when someone feels stuck or unsure about change. Solution-focused ideas keep conversations practical and forward-looking, so progress can show up quickly.
Trauma-focused work is used when past events continue to affect mood, relationships, or day-to-day functioning. Linda brings about 15 years of experience in social work to her practice. She has supported people facing relationship strain, family issues, caregiver stress, and life transitions such as midlife concerns and aging challenges.
She also has experience with first responder and veteran issues, and with people living with HIV or AIDS. Sessions are offered in English and can take place via video, phone, live chat, or text messaging. Cost varies by location and use of a subscription model that can be canceled at any time.

How her approaches translate to online work
Client-centered therapy is about focusing on what matters to the client and listening closely. Online sessions using this approach let people set the agenda and lead conversations about what they want to change. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps identify unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and replace them with practical alternatives. In remote sessions CBT can include homework, mood tracking, and simple behavioral experiments to try between meetings.Linda also uses motivational interviewing to help people find their own reasons for change and build momentum. That method works well in a collaborative online setting where the therapist and client weigh options and set doable goals together. Choosing the right approach is part of the work; she will help figure out which methods fit a person’s goals, needs, and preferences so treatment feels relevant and realistic.
Online formats offer flexibility for busy lives. Video calls let people read facial cues and use visual tools during a session. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text-based messaging provide brief check-ins, quick coaching, or ongoing support between longer sessions. These options make it easier to schedule regular work and keep progress moving forward.
