How her therapeutic approaches translate online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people get clearer about their values and take small actions toward them even when feelings are difficult. It is useful for anxiety, depression, stress, and making life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches practical skills to shift unhelpful patterns; it often helps with mood, anxiety, and coping strategies. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on creating a respectful, nonjudgmental space where the person’s own goals guide the work and self-understanding grows.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Linda works collaboratively to test which methods fit a person's needs and preferences. She will help negotiate goals and try different strategies so that therapy matches what feels most useful for the client.
