She works with adults around stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, self-esteem, depression, and coaching needs.

Linda draws on practical, conversational methods in session. She listens to each person’s story and helps them notice patterns that keep old feelings alive. Sessions include straightforward tools from cognitive behavioral approaches and mindfulness to help manage thoughts and reactions. She also uses emotion-focused and relational methods when people want to better understand how they connect with others.
Her background includes community mental health work as well as private practice. That mix means she has experience with both short-term problem solving and longer relationship work. She encourages clients to name small, doable steps and test what helps between visits.
Linda integrates Christian faith into her perspective when clients ask for that to be part of care. She frames clients as the experts on their lives and treats faith as one possible resource among others. Practical conversation, steady pacing, and clear behavioral ideas are common parts of her approach.
People who choose to work with her can expect direct conversation about patterns, gentle skills practice, and attention to how relationships shape inner experience. The focus is on what can be tried now to lighten heavy feelings and move forward a bit at a time.
Therapeutic approaches and how online sessions can fit
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then choose actions that match their values. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing small behavior changes to reduce anxiety and improve mood. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) looks at emotions behind relationship patterns and helps people shift interactions that keep them stuck.Linda will work with clients to decide which approach or combination feels most useful. This is a collaborative process where goals, preferences, and what actually helps guide the plan. She uses conversation and practical exercises to see what fits and adapts as needed.
Session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Some formats use less bandwidth or do not require video, which can help with shorter breaks or quieter surroundings. Talk with the therapist during the matching process about the best way to connect given your schedule and needs.
