About Lynda
Lynda Ketcham is a LICSW (Master of Arts, Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker) practicing in Massachusetts with 33 years of experience. She works with people facing midlife changes, aging concerns, grief, mood struggles, stress, and relationship and family difficulties. Many clients come for help with anxiety, depression, loss, chronic illness, or the question of who they are at a new life stage.
She uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) alongside approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), attachment-based work, client-centered therapy, and cognitive behavioral techniques. In sessions she focuses on feelings, how they show up in relationships, and patterns that keep people stuck. She helps people name painful emotions and respond to them more clearly.
Lynda draws on three decades of clinical experience with adults coping with life transitions, caregiving strain, chronic health challenges, and career and financial stress. She combines practical tools with attention to how attachment and emotion shape decisions and behavior. Sessions may include skill-building for stress, strategies for mood management, and conversation about family of origin and forgiveness when relevant.

How EFT, ACT and attachment work in remote sessions
Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) is oriented toward identifying and changing difficult emotion and interaction patterns. It focuses on moments when feelings drive responses and helps people notice and name those emotions so they can shift how they relate to themselves and others. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice painful thoughts while choosing actions that reflect their values; it is often used for anxiety, depression, and coping with life changes.Attachment-based approaches explore how early relationship patterns influence present-day reactions and choices. That work can help with relationship strain, loneliness, and caregiving stress by clarifying relational expectations and learning different ways of connecting.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Lynda will work with the client to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. Sessions typically blend emotion-focused conversation with practical tools from ACT or CBT, and the therapist adjusts strategies as goals evolve.
