More about Linda
- 20 years' experience
- Female
- LCSW
I am licensed in California with 20 years of professional work experience. I have experience in helping clients with stress and anxiety, motivation, self esteem, and confidence, & career difficulties. I also have experience working with coping with life changes.
My experience includes both medical and inpatient psychiatric and outpatient clinics. I have been trained in feminist theory, domestic violence and PTSD. My preference here on this platform is to offer supportive therapy to stable clients who are looking for support in coping with career and general life stresses and life transitions. I like to work with creative types, entrepreneurs and children/ preteens. I do believe that providing play therapy with children is difficult virtually though. I work with my clients to create an open and safe environment where thoughts and feelings can be shared without fear of judgment.
I am also a certified hypnotist so I may incorporate hypnosis in sessions to help you relax or have you listen to guided meditations in between sessions.
People describe my personality as compassionate, down to earth and funny. I listen and offer feedback as needed and offer you options. Ultimately, you make the final decisions in your life.
I prefer to work with you in short term 6-12 week sessions and we will re-evaluate your progress then. If you have any questions, please write them down and we may address them in the first session. Generally, the first session, I will gather more information and establish what goals you wish to work on in therapy. We will also establish the messaging treatment options.
Taking the first step to sign up for therapy takes courage and I am proud of you for getting started! I look forward to meeting you soon.

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.
