Remote options and therapeutic approach
Linda uses three core therapeutic orientations in online work: Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Psychodynamic Therapy, and Solution-Focused Therapy. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is presented in practical terms to identify unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and to develop concrete strategies for managing symptoms. Psychodynamic Therapy explores patterns and relationships that shape current experience, offering a space to reflect on deeper sources of difficulty. Solution-Focused Therapy centers on clear goals and small steps toward change, emphasizing what can be done right away.
The therapist aims to collaborate with people who want a mix of insight and actionable plans, adapting the emphasis of sessions to the person’s priorities. Sessions can include exploration of emotional patterns, skill-building for coping and relationships, and short-term goal planning.
Remote sessions are available by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, allowing selection of the format that fits an individual’s needs and schedule.
