More about Lynda
- 9 years' experience

- LPC
I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in the state of Idaho where I graduated with a Master of Science and specialized in the emphasis of Trauma, Grief, and Crisis. I have experience in working with, adolescents, adults, couples, and families, in individual and group settings. Some clinical issues I deal with on a regular basis are depression, anxiety, addictions, trauma, grief and crisis, LGBTQ+ issues, and infidelity.
Life can bring obstacles and challenges but no matter what you’re facing, in these various stages of your life, I will help you explore ways to cope and change those patterns. In our therapy session, I am compassionate, supportive, and empathetic and will help you feel empowered to share your unique story without fear or judgment.
My therapeutic relationship is based on a holistic counseling approach. Holistic counseling is an approach that helps clients heal by taking the entire human being with their life experiences into consideration for assessment and treatment purposes. Holistic counseling also utilizes mindfulness mediation, trauma-informed therapies, Solution-Focused therapy, EMDR Havening, and HypnotherapyTechniques.
I truly value each individual and look forward to meeting and helping you take the next step towards a life of connectedness and wellbeing.

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.

Overall rating:
I have been working with Mrs. Lynda since last year and she has done an amazing job on helping me work through my past issues and current issues I have never met a therapist that has been able to help me the way she does.
It took me a few tries to find the right therapist fit for me over the years but Lynda is IT! She listens without judgement and always has a solution for me.
She understands my needs and is able to help me understand parts of my life that I get confused about she has a great way of explaining things and is always helping you find a different perspective of your life!
I really enjoyed my sessions with Lynda. She gave me many strategies that can be used in real life.
Lynda is a light in my life, she helps me think clearly and optimistically.
Lynda is always so mindful and truly makes my emotions feel validated.
Lynda is amazing. She is professional and knowledgeable. I do not have enough words to describe her positives. She saved my life.
Always so helpful and goes above and beyond. I’m so grateful to have found her.
Lynda has been a wonderful help. I am so grateful that I was immediately matched with someone who is so compassionate and capable of offering counsel during a challenging season. Her advice has made a remarkable difference in my daily life. I would gladly recommend her to anyone who is looking for a therapist who will listen with empathy and offer expertise on a wide range of topics.
She’s really great. She listens to me , brings me back the conversation when I get on a spiral, and helps me set realistic goals. She’s very sincere and I appreciate her.
We have only had one session, but I followed her advice and I think it turned out for the better with my job.
Very knowledgeable and professional. I'm very thankful she is helping me. Divorce is a very hard thing to go through.
