I work with individuals struggling with depression, anxiety/stress, relationship problems, trauma and loss utilizing a holistic approach. I help clients set goals for change and seek solutions to problems. I have been in private practice for 25 years and work with adults. I utilize cognitive behavioral therapy, psychodynamic and solution focused to help clients understand themselves and take steps to bring about change. When working with couples i like the IMAGO method and Gottmans approach. Therapy is a commitment to your health and well being. I am honored to work with individuals who are willing to better understand themselves and are motivated to work to change and improve their lives.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.

Linda Goldsmith, is kind and understands my needs. She makes my session easy and relax. Which for me it’s important.
Linda is very aware about what I need to focus on versus what I thought I needed to improve my mental health!
Linda has been a wonderful help through some terrible times. She's made me feel as if I'm not on this journey alone, and really helped build my self confidence. I am excited to see where therapy takes me from here, under Linda's guidance.
Linda Goldsmith, though only the beginning of my journey, has been greatly helpful! She listens, has insightful thoughts, gives great feedback, and I would 10/10 recommend her! Not only that, but also I would recommend BetterHelp, and, in fact, I have! My friends and family are also signing up! even though it is my first week, Ms. Goldsmith and I are getting to good places! You have to do the work, but it's worth it, even when it seems trivial. It works! Even when there are hard days!
Linda helped me learn to deal with workplace related stress and anxiety at a time in my life when most things felt very overwhelming. Thank you, Linda!
