More about Linda

  • 22 years' experience
  • Female
  • LMHC

I am a Licensed mental health counselor in the state of Florida with over 16 years of experience working as a mental health counselor in different settings. I have worked with clients with a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, relationship issues, parenting problems, career challenges, and ADHD. My experience includes working with individual with substance abuse issues. I also helped many people who have experienced physical trauma or emotional abuse.

My counseling style is warm and interactive. I believe in treating anyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion, and I don't believe in stigmatizing labels. My approach combines person- centered, cognitive-behavioral, solution focus and rational-emotive counseling. I will tailor our dialog and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs.

It takes courage to seek for a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps towards a change. I will be available to help you when you are ready to take the next to achieve the help that you seek.

I am looking forward to working with you!

Online counseling, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions. Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.

On only my first session alone, Ms. McKayle helped me navigate through the biggest aspect of life that’s been causing me great anxiety. She was patient & attentive as she listened to my concerns. She encouraged me while helping me figure out the root of the issue. She gave me practical steps to alleviating these stressors. I feel like a weight has lifted off my shoulders. She’s God-sent. Thank you so much!!
