About Linda
Linda Oberle is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Texas and also holds a Michigan Licensed Master Social Worker (LMSW) credential. She has six years of post-licensure experience and focuses on concerns such as addictions, trauma and abuse, parenting challenges, stress, anxiety, relationship strain, grief, low self-esteem, and depression.
Linda draws on experience from many years in child welfare and crisis intervention. She has worked with people affected by physical trauma and emotional abuse and has supported those facing substance misuse and domestic violence. Those past roles inform how she approaches practical problems today.
Her style is interactive and client-centered. She prioritizes what the person wants to work on and helps set clear, practical steps. Sessions often center on problem solving, building coping skills, and addressing patterns that feed guilt or shame.
Linda uses a mix of evidence-informed methods, including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), mindfulness techniques, and client-centered approaches. She adapts these methods to the concerns people bring, such as codependency, post-traumatic stress, or workplace stress.
People can expect straightforward collaboration about goals and a focus on skills they can use between sessions. She asks clients to take an active role in planning treatment and to identify which changes matter most to them.
How her approaches fit into online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying values and taking committed actions even when difficult feelings are present. It can help when guilt or shame prevents someone from moving toward what matters. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts and behaviors keep problems going and teaches practical skills to shift those patterns. CBT is often used for anxiety, depression, and unhelpful self-judgments.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Linda will collaborate with each client to decide which methods to try first, based on the person's goals, preferences, and the issues they bring. She adapts techniques over time and checks in about what is and isn't helpful.
