About Linda
Linda Skoug is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Wisconsin with 13 years of clinical experience. She focuses on helping people manage strong emotions and everyday stress so they can move forward. Her work often addresses anxiety, depression, relationship strain, and anger-related concerns.
Linda uses clear, practical methods in sessions. She listens to what matters most and helps people build skills that fit their life. Sessions emphasize understanding how past relationships shape current reactions and learning new ways to respond to stress and conflict.
Background and approach
Her background includes work with trauma, attachment issues, and life transitions. That experience informs how she assesses patterns that contribute to recurring problems. She pays attention to how grief, addiction, or major changes affect mood and behavior.
Linda draws on approaches such as attachment-based work, cognitive behavioral techniques, and hypnotherapy to create tools for coping. She explains ideas plainly and practices techniques together in session so clients can try them between meetings. People who come to her often want direct help for anger, relationship difficulties, or managing anxiety while juggling everyday responsibilities.
She aims to teach concrete skills, reduce overwhelm, and help people make choices that match their values. Sessions are offered in English and take place through video calls, phone, live chat, or text messaging. Getting started involves completing a short matching questionnaire and scheduling a time that fits each person’s routine.

How therapy approaches translate to online care
Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationships influence current reactions. Online sessions using this approach look at patterns in how someone connects, then practice new ways of relating that reduce conflict and emotional reactivity.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. In virtual sessions, the therapist helps identify unhelpful thinking, tries behavior experiments, and teaches coping tools for anxiety, anger, and depression.
Hypnotherapy uses guided relaxation and focused attention to help people access targeted inner resources. When offered online it can support reducing stress, changing habitual reactions, and reinforcing new coping habits.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals and preferences, then recommend one or a blend of methods. Together they will track what helps and adjust the plan as needed.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face discussion and demonstrations. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be easier during a busy day. Live chat or text messaging suit short check-ins, homework support, or people who prefer writing. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a routine and keep progress moving forward.
