Background and approach

Her background includes roles in schools, nonprofits, residential treatment settings, and community support centers, and she currently provides part-time services as a Military and Family Life Counselor. Linda earned a master’s degree from Boston University and has drawn additional insight from working with clients across four countries.

Her style is nonjudgmental and strengths-based, helping people identify practical steps to manage stress, anxiety, depression, and relationship or family concerns. Linda also supports those navigating grief, parenting challenges, intimacy issues, sleep disruption, anger, and self-esteem struggles.

She lists Cognitive Behavioral Therapy as one of her primary approaches alongside client-centered and solution-focused methods, using those tools to create concrete goals and strategies tailored to each person’s needs. Linda holds an LPC (CO LPC 0004187) and offers a collaborative, steady approach to help clients move toward meaningful change.

Approach and Access: Practical Therapy Online

Linda commonly draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify unhelpful thinking patterns and develop concrete coping skills for anxiety, depression, sleep difficulties, and stress-related concerns. She also uses Client-Centered Therapy, offering an empathetic, nonjudgmental space that prioritizes the client’s perspective and personal strengths to guide healing and decision making.

Finding the right approach is treated as a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to explore which methods align with their goals, preferences, and the issues they bring, adjusting the plan as progress is made. This partnership helps tailor strategies that feel both useful and achievable.

Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, which provides flexibility for people with busy schedules or limited local options. These formats make it easier to maintain continuity of care and integrate therapy into daily life while working with licensed professionals who focus on practical, goal-oriented work.
