Dr. Lynda Cokuslu

Dr. Lynda Cokuslu is a licensed professional counselor who helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and relationship struggles. She holds a Georgia LPC and brings nine years of clinical experience to her work. Dr. Cokuslu creates a calm, respectful space where people can talk about what feels hard and figure out next steps.

She focuses on practical change rather than labels. Sessions often center on improving communication, managing strong emotions like anger, and building routines that support sleep and wellbeing. She also addresses grief, trauma, addictions, and challenges tied to parenting, career shifts, or chronic health issues.

Her methods draw from evidence-based approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Client-Centered Therapy. Those tools are adapted to each person’s goals so therapy feels relevant and doable. The work blends skill-building with time to make sense of painful experiences.

Dr. Cokuslu also uses elements of Dialectical Behavior Therapy and Emotionally-Focused Therapy when useful for emotional regulation and relationship concerns. She helps clients practice new ways of responding to stress and offers coaching for life transitions. Over time, the aim is greater self-understanding and steadier day-to-day coping.

She offers services from Georgia and meets people in English. To begin, readers are asked to use the site’s Start Therapy flow to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a session.

How certain approaches translate to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them. It teaches values-based action so clients can move toward a meaningful life even when emotions are hard. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thought patterns and testing new behaviors to reduce anxiety, depression, or anger. Client-Centered Therapy centers the person’s experience, using empathy and reflection to help people feel heard and to build their own solutions.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist reviews goals, preferences, and daily routines with each person. Together they decide which techniques to try and adjust the plan as progress is made.

The original biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm available options before booking. Online work can make therapy easier to fit into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. It also supports continuing care during life transitions or when scheduling is tight. Licensed professionals regularly adapt ACT, CBT, and client-centered methods to remote sessions so the focus stays on practical coping skills and clearer communication.
