About Linda
Linda Flynn is an LCSW with 15 years of clinical experience supporting people recovering from relational trauma, addiction, and depression. She focuses on helping clients rebuild self-trust and emotional stability after long-term invalidating relationships. Her approach centers on collaboration and practical steps toward feeling steadier day to day.
Flynn draws on attachment-based ideas to look at how early and current relationships shape how people relate to others now. She also uses client-centered listening so people feel heard while they name what matters to them. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy tools are used to break unhelpful thinking patterns and build new coping skills.
She has worked with people who have experienced gaslighting, emotional manipulation, and control in relationships, and with those managing addiction by addressing the wounds underneath substance use. Sessions aim to strengthen personal boundaries, clarify values, and develop routines that support recovery and mood stability.
Flynn combines skill-building with longer-term reflection. She helps people notice patterns, try new behaviors, and track what changes feel useful. This mix supports short-term coping and deeper shifts over time.
Clients can expect straightforward guidance, steady listening, and practical homework when helpful. The emphasis is on making tangible progress while respecting each person’s pace and lived experience.
How attachment work and CBT translate to online therapy
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how relationships shape expectations and emotional responses. Online sessions can be a place to notice those patterns, practice new boundaries, and rehearse different ways of relating. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and empathy so people feel understood while they identify goals and decide next steps. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy breaks down thoughts, feelings, and actions to test new behaviors and reduce distress through concrete exercises.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to choose methods that match needs, goals, and comfort level. Plans can change as progress happens, and techniques may be combined to address both immediate coping and deeper relational patterns.
Session formats are not specified here, so confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can help fit sessions into a busy life by reducing travel time, allowing shorter check-ins, and offering more flexibility around work or caregiving schedules. It also makes it possible to maintain continuity of care across locations when someone is traveling or living abroad.
