She brings six years of direct clinical experience and a background rooted in child welfare work. Linda speaks English and practices in Texas as an LCSW and an LMSW.

Client-Centered Therapy guides how she listens and responds, keeping each persons priorities central to planning.
Linda has worked extensively around parenting challenges, substance use concerns, trauma and abuse, and issues that commonly appear in child welfare settings. She also supports people dealing with relationship strain, codependency, workplace stress, isolation, and the emotional impacts of adoption and foster care.
Sessions focus on practical tools - mindful breathing, values work, thought records, and problem-solving strategies. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing is one of the approaches she uses for trauma processing when appropriate. She emphasizes collaboration so clients help set the pace and goals for their care.
Linda aims to be attentive and nonjudgmental, working respectfully across cultures. She helps people advocate for their needs and build steps toward a more manageable, fulfilling life.
How her approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and take small, practical steps toward those values even when emotions are difficult. Its useful for anxiety, stress, and navigating big life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and testing new behaviors to reduce distress and improve daily functioning. It is often used for depression, anxiety, and problem behaviors. Client-Centered Therapy shapes how sessions feel - the therapist listens without judgment and follows the clients lead to set goals and pace.Figuring out which approach fits best is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, try options, and adjust the plan together. Decisions about techniques and pacing are collaborative so the client stays in control of their progress.
The biography does not specify which online session formats are offered, so confirm available session options before booking. That said, online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life by removing travel time, allowing shorter check-ins, and offering flexibility around work or caregiving schedules. It also makes it possible to continue therapy when routines change, while keeping the same licensed professionals involved in planning and follow-up.
