About Linda

Linda Culver is an Indiana-licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) with 20 years of clinical experience. She helps people cope with stress, anxiety, addictions, grief, relationship concerns, and life transitions. Sessions focus on practical ways to manage feelings and make different choices in daily life.

She uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy as one of her approaches to look at how emotions shape patterns. She also draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to examine thoughts and behaviors, and Client-Centered Therapy to keep the work focused on the person's experience. Mindfulness strategies and Motivational Interviewing appear in her work when clients want tools for staying present or finding motivation for change.

Linda has worked in hospitals, residential treatment centers, and outpatient settings. That range has given her experience with people facing addiction, chronic illness, caregiving stress, and a wide span of life stages. She often supports people dealing with grief, adjustment to change, trauma, and mood concerns such as depression or bipolar conditions.

In sessions she emphasizes talking through feelings and practical coping skills. She believes learning to experience emotions and respond differently is a key step toward managing stress and improving relationships. Conversations may include looking at thoughts, trying small behavior changes, and practicing mindful awareness.

Sessions are conducted in English and are structured to fit the client’s needs. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session. Costs vary by location and use a cancelable subscription model.

How Linda uses EFT, CBT and client-centered methods online

Linda draws on Emotionally-Focused Therapy to name and track strong emotions and how they shape relationships and reactions. EFT helps when patterns of hurt, avoidance, or disconnection keep repeating and the goal is to shift how feelings get expressed.

She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to spot unhelpful thoughts and test small behavior changes. CBT is useful for anxiety, mood concerns, and for creating concrete coping steps. Client-Centered Therapy grounds sessions in the person’s experience, letting the client lead what matters most in conversation.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to choose methods that fit their goals, needs, and preferences. This means trying things, checking in, and adjusting the plan together.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm the current online options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counseling into a busy day, shorten travel time, or allow for a quieter check-in during a work break. Talk with the therapist when scheduling about how to structure sessions for the client’s routine and technical setup.
