About Lynda

Dr. Lynda Cokuslu is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Georgia with nine years of experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, addictions, and relationship concerns. Sessions address practical problems such as sleep, eating, parenting strain, career stress, and managing life changes.

Her approach often uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) alongside Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Client-Centered Therapy, and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT). In sessions she helps people name intense feelings and notice the patterns that keep those feelings active. Conversations focus on small, usable changes rather than long lectures.

Dr. Cokuslu also supports people dealing with grief, compassion fatigue, ADHD, and issues related to adoption, attachment, and abandonment. She addresses physical health challenges too, including chronic pain, illness, and caregiver stress. Practical coping skills and clearer communication are common goals.

The LPC uses brief, direct strategies when appropriate and longer talking work when it helps. She encourages clients to try new ways of responding to old situations and practices skills between sessions. Work can include looking at limiting beliefs and building more workable routines.

Sessions are conducted in English and follow a subscription model that can be canceled at any time. To begin, select the See online therapy options button, complete a short matching questionnaire, and schedule a first session.

How her approaches translate to online sessions

Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) helps people identify core emotions and how those feelings shape their reactions. Online work with EFT often involves slowing down conversations to name feelings and trace the patterns that keep them active.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing thoughts and choosing actions that match personal values. In remote sessions ACT can include short exercises and behavioral experiments to try between appointments.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting unhelpful thinking and testing new behaviors. Online CBT sessions commonly use brief skill practice and homework to build new habits.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work with the client to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. That decision is collaborative and may change as work progresses.

Confirm current session options before booking. The profile notes a subscription-based payment model that can be canceled at any time, but does not list specific formats here. Ask about session length, video or phone options, and scheduling to find what fits day-to-day life. Online work can make it easier to fit appointments around work, reduce travel time, or allow shorter check-ins when needed.
