How her approaches shape online therapy

Linda uses client-centered therapy to create a respectful, listening-focused space where each person sets the pace and priorities. This approach helps when someone needs a calm setting to talk through feelings and decide what to work on next.

She also applies cognitive behavioral therapy, which breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions. CBT is useful for anxiety, anger, sleep problems, and low mood because it gives practical steps to test and change unhelpful thinking patterns.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Linda will collaborate with clients to choose which methods fit their goals and lifestyle. She adjusts techniques as needs change, so sessions stay relevant and goal-driven.
