She works with people who are coping with addictions, relationship and family concerns, trauma and abuse, and intimacy-related issues.

She approaches therapy believing clients know their own stories and bring strengths to the work. Sessions focus on identifying painful patterns and naming emotions that are hard to name. Linda uses clear, direct conversation and practical tools to help people notice what keeps problems repeating and to test new ways of relating.
Her background includes a mix of approaches. Emotionally-Focused Therapy is one of her methods for examining how emotions and attachment shape interactions. She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Attachment-Based Therapy, and client-centered techniques to support change.
Typical topics covered include codependency, commitment issues, blended family challenges, caregiving stress, chronic illness and pain, grief from divorce or separation, and drug or alcohol addiction. Sessions often involve learning small, doable skills for communication and emotion regulation while working on longer term patterns.

How her approaches translate to online sessions
Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) helps people and partners notice and name emotions that drive patterns of interaction. It focuses on attachment feelings and how those feelings shape reactions in relationships. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) teaches practical ways to accept difficult thoughts and feelings while clarifying values and committing to small actions that matter. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early bonds influence current relationships and helps people experiment with new ways of relating.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Linda will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels most useful. Together they will choose which methods to try and adjust the plan as the work progresses in sessions.

Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life - for example a shorter check-in during a lunch break, removing travel time, or choosing a phone session when bandwidth is limited. Therapists and licensed professionals use these practical benefits to help people keep regular appointments and apply new skills between meetings.
