About Linda
Her work emphasizes listening first and tailoring conversations to each person's situation. Sessions look at patterns that cause distress and build new ways of coping. She draws on therapies that help people notice thoughts and feelings, reconnect with important relationships, and change unhelpful behavior.
Dr. DeBiase has supported people dealing with addiction, bipolar concerns, ADHD, and compassion fatigue alongside relationship and attachment struggles. She also helps with separation and divorce challenges, adoption and foster care issues, and problems connected to abuse or domestic violence. Her background includes long-term clinical work across varied settings.
Expect straightforward talk about what is getting in the way and step-by-step ideas you can try between sessions. She aims to make treatment practical and relevant to daily life rather than full of jargon. The plan is adjusted as progress or needs change.
Starting therapy with Dr. DeBiase begins with a short questionnaire and scheduling to match timing that works for you. She supports English-speaking clients and does not take international clients at this time.

How therapeutic approaches guide online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, focuses on noticing thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them and choosing actions that match personal values. It can help with mood problems, anxiety, and choosing different responses to anger. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behavior and offers practical strategies to change patterns that cause distress. It is often used for depression, anxiety, and behavior change. Attachment-Based Therapy centers on how close relationships shape emotions and reactions and can help people repair connection, build trust, and manage relationship stress.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with each person about goals and preferences, and then suggest which methods to try. That decision is collaborative and can change as progress is made.
Confirm the current online session options before booking. Many people find that online sessions fit better into busy days and make it easier to keep regular appointments. Online work can shorten commute time, allow quicker check-ins during a break, and let people use therapeutic tools in familiar routines. If you want to start, check available session formats and schedule a first meeting to see how the approach feels in practice.
