Online support
Approaches you can use in online sessions
Linda often blends Existential therapy, Client-Centered therapy, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to meet each person's needs. Existential therapy helps people face big life questions - meaning, choice, and responsibility - and can be useful for grief, life transitions, and career crossroads. Client-Centered therapy focuses on empathic listening and acceptance so people feel heard and can explore emotions at their own pace. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) works on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and is especially helpful for anxiety, depression, and stress-related problems.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about their goals, preferences, and what feels most useful in early sessions. Together they adjust methods as progress is made and needs change, mixing listening, reflection, and practical exercises as appropriate.
Online therapy offers flexibility for different schedules and circumstances. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions may fit when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is preferred. Live chat and text-based messaging can be useful for ongoing coaching, quick check-ins, or when writing helps someone process thoughts. These options make it easier to work on grief, anxiety, relationship patterns, and coping skills from wherever the client is located.
