About Linda

Linda Platt is an Arizona Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, and trauma. She supports those dealing with relationship strain, addictions, grief, and self-esteem struggles. Linda also works with clients navigating adoption and foster care concerns and other life changes.

She believes each person knows their own story and brings strengths into the work. Sessions focus on clear goals and practical steps rather than long lectures. Linda encourages small, steady changes that add up over time.

Her approach blends talking, skills practice, and attention to feelings. She uses client-centered listening to understand what matters most. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps identify unhelpful thoughts and replace them with more useful ways of thinking.

Attachment-based ideas guide conversations about closeness, trust, and how early relationships shape current patterns. Emotionally-Focused Therapy techniques are used when feelings and connection are the key issues. Mindfulness tools help people notice stress and respond with intention instead of reacting automatically.

Linda has nine years of professional experience working in private practice settings. She aims to create a calm, straightforward space where clients can talk honestly and try new ways of coping. Her style is warm, down-to-earth, and focused on practical results.

If you want a therapist who listens carefully and helps build workable strategies, Linda offers an approach that combines evidence-based techniques with respect for your goals.

How Linda’s approaches work in online therapy

Attachment-based work pays attention to how early connections shape current relationships. It helps when trust, closeness, or repeated patterns cause pain and people want different ways of relating. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors. It is useful for anxiety, depression, and habits that feel stuck. Client-centered therapy centers the client's experience and goals. The therapist listens without judging and helps the client name what matters most before choosing tools.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will collaborate with each person to pick methods that match their goals and preferences. Sessions may combine elements from different approaches as needs change and progress is reviewed together.

Practical benefits of online work include fitting sessions into a busy schedule and reducing travel time, which can make regular appointments easier to keep. Online work can also allow for shorter check-ins when life is hectic and for using written work between sessions. The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm available options before booking to ensure they fit your routine and needs.
