Therapeutic approaches for online sessions and support
Linda uses client-centered therapy to create a collaborative and respectful space where the individual’s goals and values guide the work. This approach emphasizes listening, empathy, and supporting a person’s own capacity to find solutions and build resilience, which can be helpful for life transitions, relationship concerns, and self-esteem issues.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and developing practical skills to change them. CBT is often applied to conditions such as anxiety, depression, and stress-related problems by teaching strategies for coping and problem solving.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, teaches emotion regulation, distress tolerance, interpersonal effectiveness, and mindful awareness. These skills support people who struggle with strong emotions, relationship conflicts, or patterns of reactivity, and they can be adapted to many types of presenting concerns.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Linda works collaboratively with each person to determine the strategies that best match their needs, goals, and preferences. She adapts techniques as progress is made and as priorities change.
Online therapy with Linda is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which provides flexibility for busy schedules, geographic constraints, and differing comfort levels with technology. These options make it easier to maintain regular appointments, practice skills between sessions, and access support from licensed professionals in a way that fits daily life.
