More about Linda
- 17 years' experience
- Female
- LPC
I am a licensed professional counselor in Connecticut with 17 years of dedicated work experience. I have experience working with primarily the adult population dealing with trauma, loss, stress, and anxiety, adapting to change within the course of life.
I see therapy as a collaborative effort to work with my clients to create solutions. I work with clients providing tools identifying the significance of confidence and self-esteem through empathy, empowerment, and guidance. Through therapy I support navigating workplace obstacles, coping with grief and loss, working though unforeseen situational events, and life transitions.
I believe in treating everyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion. I will tailor our dialogue and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs. It takes courage to seek out a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps towards a change. I am here to support & empower you in that journey.

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.
