About Linda
Linda Spalding is a licensed mental health counselor with thirty years of experience helping people manage strong emotions and life changes. She listens first and helps clients name what feels most urgent. Her approach is practical and focused on small, workable steps.
Linda has worked in many settings over her career, including independent practice and intensive outpatient programs. She has experience supporting people dealing with addiction, mood difficulties, trauma, and relationship strain.
Background and approach
Anger and stress are among the concerns she often addresses in sessions. Her style mixes straightforward talk with goal-oriented techniques. Clients can expect to set clear aims, try short-term experiments, and learn tools they can use between sessions.
She adapts methods to fit each person rather than using one fixed plan. Linda also supports people navigating career crossroads, grief, caregiving stress, and questions about intimacy and sexual identity. She has worked with people facing chronic illness and with those coping after disaster or separation.
Her work includes both problem-solving and helping people rewrite difficult life stories. Sessions are offered in English and accommodate international clients. She uses approaches such as cognitive behavioral therapy, motivational interviewing, and solution-focused methods to help people move toward clearer choices and steadier days.

Approaches that fit remote care and real life
Linda often uses cognitive behavioral therapy and motivational interviewing in online sessions. Cognitive behavioral therapy looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect, and teaches simple skills to change patterns that fuel anxiety, depression, or anger. Motivational interviewing focuses on a person's reasons for change and builds motivation through short, supportive conversations.Choosing the right approach is a team effort. Linda will talk with clients about goals, try methods that seem likely to help, and adjust plans based on what works. She emphasizes collaboration so the approach fits the client's pace and priorities.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for fuller conversations and visual cues, while phone calls can work when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and messaging are handy for quick check-ins, brief coaching, or when someone prefers not to be on camera. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives and to keep progress moving between in-person commitments.
