More about Linda

  • 30 years' experience
  • Female
  • LMHC

I have been a licensed therapist for over 25 years. I have worked in a variety of settings including private practice, residential, intensive outpatient and partial hospital programs. I have worked with individuals, couples, families and groups for both corporate and nonprofit employers.

I work primarily with addictive disorders (both chemical and process), mood disorders, trauma, post traumatic stress disorders, relationship and work issues, gender disorders and active duty military and veterans.

I use several different therapeutic approaches, including cognitive behavioral therapy, motivational interviewing and solution focused therapy. I do not believe in a "one size fits all" approach. I will work with you to find what works for you.

About online counseling

Affordable.
Pay a low flat fee.
Convenient.
Do it at your own time and at your own pace. Communicate whenever you feel it's needed.
Available now.
There is no waiting list and no calls to make. Simply fill out a short questionnaire and send your first message.

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.
