About Linda

Linda Oberle is a licensed clinical social worker who combines practical, client-centered care with cognitive behavioral tools to help people navigate addiction, trauma, parenting challenges, and major life changes.

Background and approach

With six years of direct clinical experience and a background in child welfare dating back to 2000, she draws on that long-standing exposure to substance abuse, crisis intervention, and both physical and emotional trauma to inform her interventions. She uses a nonjudgmental, respectful stance to build collaborative treatment plans that reflect each client’s goals.

Linda values an interactive therapeutic relationship in which clients guide the pace and direction of work while she advocates and supports progress. Her approach blends solution-focused methods with evidence-informed techniques such as CBT, acceptance and commitment strategies, EMDR, and mindfulness practices when appropriate.

Licensed in Texas as an LCSW and also holding an LMSW in Michigan, she works in English and emphasizes empowerment, practical coping skills, and measurable steps toward greater wellbeing.

Integrating CBT, ACT, and Client-Centered Care Online

Linda uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients identify unhelpful thought patterns and develop practical skills for managing anxiety, depression, and stress-related behaviors. CBT emphasizes concrete strategies such as behavioral experiments and thought records that can translate well to an online setting. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy is another approach she draws on to support clients in clarifying values and taking committed action despite difficult internal experiences, which is helpful for issues like grief, shame, and life transitions.

She also brings a client-centered orientation that prioritizes empathy, respect, and collaboration; this means treatment goals and methods are chosen together so interventions match a person’s needs and preferences. Determining the right mix of approaches is part of the therapeutic process, and she works with clients to adjust methods as progress and goals evolve.

Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These formats make it easier to access consistent support, practice skills between sessions, and maintain momentum toward recovery and improved coping without sacrificing continuity of care.
