About Linda
Linda Simon is a licensed clinical social worker (LICSW) based in Massachusetts with 35 years of professional experience. She focuses on creating a calm, welcoming space where people can talk about what feels hard right now. Her approach aims to make the first steps feel manageable and clear.
She often works with people facing anxiety, depression, stress, grief, and life transitions. ADHD, relationship strain, parenting stress, and workplace issues are among the concerns she addresses.
Background and approach
She also helps with mood disorders, postpartum challenges, and feelings of guilt or shame. Linda blends practical problem-solving with time spent understanding patterns from the past. That means sessions can include short-term tools to reduce day-to-day distress and deeper conversations about recurring themes.
The mix is tailored to each person's needs and priorities. Sessions typically focus on concrete goals such as improving daily routines, managing overwhelming thoughts, or repairing strained connections. She uses techniques that help people notice unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors in small steps.
Progress is tracked in ways that make sense for each person. People who prefer both structured ideas and room for personal reflection often find this style useful. Linda aims to be collaborative and straightforward, helping clients pick practical next steps while honoring their life story and values.
Approaches that fit online therapy
Linda uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors; this approach is useful for anxiety, depression, and managing ADHD-related routines. Psychodynamic Therapy helps people see recurring life patterns by gently exploring past experiences and how they shape current feelings and relationships. Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on clear, short-term goals and small steps that make immediate differences.Choosing an approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences, try methods that match those goals, and adjust as needed. Clients and therapist decide together which mix of techniques feels most helpful and practical.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video lets people use visual cues and a more conversational rhythm. Phone sessions work well when lower bandwidth or not being on camera is preferred. Live chat and messaging offer brief check-ins, written reflection, or convenient ways to keep progress between longer sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and changing life demands.
