About Lynda
Dr. Lynda Cokuslu is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Georgia who helps people facing major life challenges. She brings nine years of clinical experience to sessions and focuses on practical ways to manage anxiety, depression, grief, and addiction.
Her style is warm and straightforward and aimed at people who want clear steps and honest conversation. She uses a mix of approaches to match each person’s needs. That can mean talking through values and meaning, practicing skills to change unhelpful thoughts, or building emotional awareness in the moment.
Background and approach
Sessions are collaborative so clients help shape the pace and goals. Dr. Cokuslu works with a wide range of concerns including stress, trauma and abuse, relationship and family difficulties, parenting strain, sleep and eating problems, and career or life transitions.
She also supports people dealing with chronic illness, caregiver stress, and issues related to adoption, abandonment, and attachment. Her work often includes tools from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, client-centered methods, and existential ideas about meaning and choice. She focuses on real-world skills people can use between sessions to cope and grow.
Clients can expect a respectful, nonjudgmental space to name what’s hard and try new ways of responding. The emphasis is on building resilience, improving communication, and helping people move toward the life they want.

Online support
Therapeutic approaches and online care
Dr. Cokuslu often combines Existential Therapy with Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to address meaning, values, and flexible coping. Existential work helps people consider life choices, purpose, and freedom, which can be useful when facing major transitions or grief. ACT focuses on accepting difficult thoughts and feelings while committing to actions that match personal values, which helps with anxiety, depression, and stress.She also draws on Client-Centered Therapy to create a supportive space where the client’s perspective leads the work. That approach emphasizes empathy, listening, and nonjudgmental support to help people name what matters to them. Together these approaches give both reflective exploration and concrete skills to try between sessions.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences, and adjustments are made as needs change. Online formats make that collaboration easier to maintain between appointments.
Practical benefits of online therapy include flexible scheduling and easier access from different locations. Video calls are well suited for in-depth conversation and body language cues. Phone sessions can be useful when bandwidth is limited or for shorter check-ins. Live chat and text messaging allow brief updates, homework check-ins, and more frequent contact when needed.
