About Linda

Linda King-Bronner is a licensed clinical social worker with 30 years of experience helping people navigate addictions, family conflict, career shifts, and major life changes. She works with compassion and respect and focuses on practical steps people can use right away.

Linda tailors conversations and plans to each person's situation. Sessions emphasize clear goals, useful skills, and steady support rather than jargon. She listens for patterns tied to attachment, abandonment, and relationship struggles and helps people notice what gets in the way of change.

Her approach draws on methods that suit different kinds of problems, from thought-focused strategies to emotion-focused work. That mix can help with issues such as caregiver stress, chronic illness, codependency, body image, or commitment concerns. Linda also addresses topics related to adoption and foster care when they come up in therapy.

Clients can expect straightforward, gentle feedback and an emphasis on building practical coping tools. Linda aims to help people find direction, regain energy, and make choices that match their values. She supports each person as they take steps toward a more manageable and satisfying life.

Linda practices in New York and speaks English. She welcomes people from outside the United States and will work with international clients when appropriate. If you want to begin, follow the site's sign-up flow to match and schedule a first session.

Approaches that translate to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters most to them and take small actions that match those values. It is useful for coping with life changes, addictions, and ongoing stress. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationship patterns show up now and helps people change how they connect and depend on others. It can be helpful for abandonment concerns and relationship conflicts. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a respectful, nonjudgmental conversation where the client leads and the therapist follows, which supports people who need empathetic listening and practical direction.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to identify goals, try methods that match those goals, and adjust over time based on what is helpful. The focus is on what the client wants to change and which strategies feel most useful for their life.

Confirm current session options before booking so you know what formats are offered. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, shorten travel time, and allow for check-ins during workday breaks. It can also let people join sessions from different locations if they are traveling or living outside New York. Discuss practical preferences with the therapist during the matching step so sessions match your routine and needs.
