Linda O'Malley

Linda O'Malley is a licensed counselor who helps people facing everyday emotional strain. She is based in New Hampshire and brings 15 years of experience to her work. Linda focuses on problems such as anxiety, depression, anger, grief, and relationship stress.

She aims to help people build practical tools they can use between sessions. Those tools are chosen together and tailored to the situation. Linda emphasizes self-compassion and finding new ways to look at old problems.

In sessions she listens for patterns that get in the way, then tries simple, concrete strategies to shift them. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy ideas are used to identify unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors. Mindfulness practices are offered to help with stress and emotional regulation.

Linda also draws on client-centered and existential ideas to keep the work focused on each person’s values and life meaning. Hypnotherapy may be suggested when a different route to change seems useful. Her aim is to help people feel steadier and more able to cope with life changes.

She works with adults on issues including addiction, parenting stress, career changes, ADHD, and family-of-origin concerns. Sessions focus on what is happening now and on practical steps forward. To begin, potential clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule according to the therapist's availability.

How Linda's approaches translate to online therapy

Linda uses Client-Centered Therapy to keep sessions focused on the person's experience and values. This approach involves listening closely and shaping the work around what matters most to the client, which can help with grief, self-esteem, and relationship concerns.

She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. CBT includes simple exercises to test unhelpful thoughts and to practice new behaviors, which can be done during online sessions and as take-home exercises for anxiety, anger, and depression.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Linda will help clients decide together which methods fit their goals and preferences. That choice is collaborative and can be adjusted as progress is made.

Confirm the specific session options before booking, since the biography does not list formats. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy day, reduce travel time, and support continuity when life gets hectic. It also lets sessions focus on short skill practice, check-ins, or deeper conversation depending on what the client and therapist decide.
