More about Linda
- 6 years' experience
- Female
- LMFT
I am licensed marriage and family therapist (LMFT#145910) located in Southern California with 6 years of professional work experience. I have experience in helping clients with relationship issues, trauma, abuse, coping with grief and loss, families dealing with dementia/alzheimers, addiction and the challenges of sobriety. Additionally, I have worked with individuals going through major life changes (ie., divorce, marriage, having children, losing a job, losing a parent or child). My goal is to create an open and safe environment where thoughts and feelings can be discussed without fear or judgment. It takes courage to seek a more fulfilling and happier life and I am happy to support you in that process.

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.

Linda is the absolute best therapist in the game she’s legit.
I really enjoy talking to Linda; she is kind, empathetic, and helps me problem solve and see things from another perspective
Linda makes me feel like I am talking to someone who likes me. It’s like talking to a friend, only with a great deal of education and experience. She really gets what I’m trying to say. And she’s a great listener. I come away feeling better every time. She always ends on a positive encouraging note. I highly recommend her.
I’ve had just one session with Linda but it was very promising. I’m looking forward to beginning this journey with her!
Linda has helped me in so many ways. She’s funny, energetic and empowering. She just gets it!
Linda is very professional when it comes to listening and addressing issues that I am having. Her expertise in the realm of therapy is above par and I have yet to find a method she has recommended that hasn’t worked. I highly recommend Linda for anyone dealing with issues similar to mine or of other nature.
Linda is the first therapist I have connected with who has helped me tremendously. She is understanding, encouraging, empathetic, and an all around safe person to come to with your problems. I truly think we were meant to be matched! She is not only sweet, but she helps come up with solutions and ideas to help with big/intense issues in such a kind way. Linda is the best, so lucky to have her in my corner!
Linda took time out of her day to talk with me after a long day of work. She helped me through a crisis and truly helped me get back on my feet after several months of slowly breaking down. She cares about her clients and wants to help.
Linda has been such a great listener and engager throughout our sessions. I enjoy her insights and suggestions. She is very encouraging and supportive. It’s been great having her be part of my healing journey.
I connected with Linda instantly and she made me feel validated and understood.
