About Linda

Linda King-Bronner is a licensed clinical social worker based in New York who focuses on helping people navigate addictions, family conflict, career transitions, compassion fatigue, and major life changes.

Background and approach

With 30 years of clinical experience, she brings a steady, empathetic presence to work that often involves complex personal histories and overlapping challenges such as attachment issues, codependency, adoption and foster care concerns, chronic illness, and caregiver stress. She emphasizes respect and sensitivity while tailoring support to each person’s situation.

Her approach blends practical strategies and relational depth, drawing on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy along with acceptance-based and attachment-informed methods. Sessions are shaped collaboratively so that therapy fits a client’s goals and daily life rather than following a one-size-fits-all plan.

Linda frames the therapeutic process as an empowering partnership: she offers guidance and skills while encouraging clients to use their strengths to pursue more satisfying, manageable lives.

Integrating evidence-based approaches through online care

Linda King-Bronner uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns, which can be useful for addictions, career stress, and managing responses to life transitions. She also incorporates Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help clients clarify values, build psychological flexibility, and learn ways to live with difficult feelings while pursuing meaningful goals. Attachment-Based Therapy is used when relational patterns and early attachment concerns are central, helping clients explore how past bonds influence current relationships and coping strategies.

Choosing an approach is a collaborative process. She works with clients to assess needs, preferences, and goals and adjusts methods as therapy progresses so the work stays relevant and practical. Together they decide which tools and perspectives will best support change and resilience.

Online sessions offer flexibility and accessibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, access care from different locations, and stay connected between sessions when brief check-ins or messages are helpful.
