About Linda

Linda Platt is an LPC (Licensed Professional Counselor) in Arizona with nine years of professional experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, addiction, relationship problems, trauma and abuse, and depression. She also supports those dealing with grief, intimacy concerns, parenting strains, ADHD, and identity questions related to LGBT issues.

Linda’s approach is practical and people-focused. She listens and helps clients name difficult emotions. She draws on Emotionally-Focused Therapy to look at how feelings affect relationship patterns and connection. She also uses client-centered methods to keep conversations grounded in each person’s perspective.

Sessions often include clear strategies from cognitive behavioral therapy to manage anxious thoughts and behaviors. Mindfulness practices may be introduced to help with grounding and reducing reactivity in stressful moments. The work is collaborative: she and the client identify small, doable steps to try between meetings.

Linda brings experience supporting a wide range of life challenges, including abandonment, attachment issues, blended family concerns, chronic illness, and caregiving stress. She helps people sort through career pressures, body-image worries, and commitment or codependency struggles.

She accepts clients from outside the United States as well as those in Arizona. Conversations are conducted in English. To begin, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire that helps schedule an initial session.

How her approaches shape online sessions

Linda uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy to help people name and work with hard-to-identify emotions and relationship patterns. EFT can be useful when feelings get in the way of connection or when relationship dynamics feel stuck.

She also integrates Attachment-Based Therapy, which looks at how early bonds influence current reactions and expectations. That approach can help with trust, intimacy concerns, and patterns that repeat across relationships. Client-Centered Therapy is used to keep the focus on the client’s own goals and perspective, letting conversations guide what is most important to address.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapy process. Linda will discuss options and help decide which methods fit a person’s goals and preferences. That decision is collaborative and may shift as needs change.

Session logistics should be confirmed before booking since formats are not specified here. Many people find online sessions fit around work, caregiving, and travel, and they can allow shorter check-ins or appointments that avoid commuting. If specific session types matter to you, confirm current options when you schedule.
