About Linda
Linda Jarels is a Licensed Professional Counselor with 20 years of clinical experience in South Carolina. She focuses on helping adults who are managing stress, anxiety, grief, depression, anger, relationship and intimacy concerns, and life changes. Linda also pays special attention to issues connected to HIV and AIDS and to people facing long-term health challenges.
She offers a calm, collaborative style that emphasizes listening first. Sessions are aimed at teaching practical coping skills and building resilience.
Background and approach
Linda helps people strengthen self-esteem and find ways to handle difficult emotions in day-to-day life. Her background blends several evidence-informed approaches. She uses cognitive behavioral techniques to identify unhelpful thinking patterns and works with acceptance and commitment strategies to help people clarify values and take small, meaningful steps.
Mindfulness and solution-focused methods are used to support coping and to set clear, achievable goals. Linda tends to structure sessions around what a person needs now. That might mean brief skill-building exercises, talking through recent stressors, or developing a plan for ongoing change.
She aims for straightforward, practical work rather than lengthy theory discussions. People who connect best with her describe wanting respectful, steady guidance and concrete tools. Linda welcomes thoughtful questions about process and pace, and she partners with each person to tailor the approach to their life and goals.

How therapeutic approaches fit into online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice painful thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, and then identify personal values to guide small steps forward. This approach can be useful for anxiety, depression, and anger when someone wants clearer direction about what matters to them.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on spotting unhelpful thinking and testing it with real-life experiments. It is practical for managing anxiety, low mood, and stress by teaching skills to change patterns of thought and behavior.
Finding the right approach is often part of early sessions. Linda works collaboratively to match methods to a person's goals, needs, and preferences, mixing techniques from ACT, CBT, mindfulness, and solution-focused work as appropriate. She checks in about what helps and adjusts the plan together.
Online sessions use video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, which makes therapy more flexible. Video works well when visual connection matters, phone is useful for lower bandwidth or a shorter check-in, and messaging or live chat supports shorter, between-session touchpoints. These options let people fit therapy into work, caregiving, or busy schedules while still using practical skill-building and problem-solving approaches.
