About Linda
Linda Wiley is a Washington LICSW with 15 years of clinical experience. She works with adults on stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, grief and loss, self-esteem, and life transitions. Linda also addresses aging and geriatric issues, communication problems, control issues, isolation and loneliness, and guilt and shame.
Linda uses clear, straightforward conversation to help people sort their thoughts. Sessions focus on practical steps and realistic thinking, and on noticing what gets in the way of daily functioning. She combines active listening with strategies drawn from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and mindfulness practices.
Her work is client-centered, meaning she pays attention to each person’s goals and preferences. That approach guides how she adapts tools and exercises so they fit the client’s life. Expect a mix of reflective talk, thought-challenging techniques, and simple mindfulness exercises.
Linda often helps people who feel stuck after a loss, a breakup, or a life change. She supports those carrying guilt or shame by exploring the origins of those feelings and by building manageable steps toward clearer decision-making. Conversations emphasize small, concrete changes rather than abstract explanations.
Over time Linda helps people notice patterns in thinking and behavior that keep problems going. She works with clients to test new ways of responding, practice small behavioral experiments, and track progress. The focus is on usable skills people can apply between sessions and in everyday moments.
How her approaches shape online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and responding to each person's goals. In practice this means sessions begin by asking what matters most and then shaping conversation and exercises around those goals.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors interact. It uses practical exercises such as thought records and behavioral experiments to test different ways of responding to anxiety, guilt, or low mood.
Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and increase noticing of present-moment experience. These skills can help with stress, rumination, and social anxiety.
Finding the right mix of these approaches is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with the client to identify goals, try methods, and adjust the plan based on what helps. This means techniques can be scaled up or down depending on comfort and progress.
Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week. Confirm the current session options before booking, since formats were not specified in the biography. Many people find online sessions helpful for shorter check-ins, quieter conversations, or continuing work during life changes. Licensed professionals can adapt CBT exercises and mindfulness practices to an online setting so skills are usable between sessions.
