Background and approach
Her background includes home-based services for people with physical disabilities, support for at-risk mothers, school social work, special education administration, and early childhood leadership. Clients can expect a listening ear and help developing realistic strategies. Linda uses client-centered methods to follow each person’s priorities.
She also draws on cognitive behavioral techniques to spot patterns that cause distress and to try new ways of responding. Mindfulness practices and solution-focused steps are part of her toolbox when brief, practical changes are helpful. She emphasizes small, achievable goals and celebrates progress along the way.
Sessions are conversational and geared toward usable skills rather than abstract theory. Her training includes a Master of Social Work from the University of Michigan and a Michigan Licensed Master Social Worker credential. Linda also holds a teaching certificate and decades of hands-on clinical work.
She invites people ready to make changes to begin with a short matching questionnaire and a scheduled session.
How Linda’s Methods Work Online
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and following what matters most to the person. The therapist reflects concerns back, helps clarify goals, and supports clients as they choose next steps. This approach is useful when someone needs space to be heard and to set their own priorities.Cognitive behavioral therapy looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect. Linda helps identify unhelpful patterns and tries concrete changes to reduce distress. This approach is often helpful for anxiety, depression, and managing ADHD-related struggles with focus and routines.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Linda collaborates with each person to try methods that fit their needs and preferences. She checks in on progress and adjusts strategies when something isn’t working so sessions stay practical and goal-oriented.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which offer flexibility for different days and schedules. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions use less bandwidth and can fit a break at work, live chat suits shorter check-ins, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between appointments. These options make it easier to keep continuity of care while fitting therapy into daily life.
