More about Linda
- 30 years' experience

- LMHC
I have been a licensed therapist for over 25 years. I have worked in a variety of settings including private practice, residential, intensive outpatient and partial hospital programs. I have worked with individuals, couples, families and groups for both corporate and nonprofit employers.
I work primarily with addictive disorders (both chemical and process), mood disorders, trauma, post traumatic stress disorders, relationship and work issues, gender disorders and active duty military and veterans.
I use several different therapeutic approaches, including cognitive behavioral therapy, motivational interviewing and solution focused therapy. I do not believe in a "one size fits all" approach. I will work with you to find what works for you.

Online counseling, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions.
Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.
