About Linda
Linda Platt is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Arizona who helps people facing stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship pain, trauma, and depression. She works with people dealing with grief, intimacy and parenting concerns, ADHD, and codependency. She encourages clients to recognize their strengths and take the first step toward change.
Linda sees each person as the expert on their own life. She offers straightforward, respectful conversations that help people sort out what matters most. Sessions focus on practical steps, clearer thinking, and building skills that fit into everyday life.
Her approach draws from attachment-based work, client-centered listening, and cognitive behavioral ideas. That mix helps people understand patterns, shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, and repair how they connect with others. Mindfulness and emotionally-focused strategies are added when they fit a person's goals.
Linda has been in private practice for nine years and has spent that time helping people navigate major life changes and ongoing struggles. She emphasizes collaboration, so people leave with clear next steps they can try between sessions.
People often come to see her when they feel stuck after loss, conflict, or a period of high stress. She aims to make the process manageable and to support steady progress toward clearer thinking, calmer days, and healthier relationships.
How therapeutic approaches translate to online work
Attachment-based work focuses on how early and current relationships shape feelings and reactions. Online sessions can help people spot repeating patterns in relationships and practice new ways of connecting and responding. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It teaches concrete tools to change unhelpful thinking and behavior, which can be practiced between sessions. Client-centered therapy centers the person's goals and pace, with the therapist listening closely and following what the person brings to the session.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to decide which methods fit best for their needs, goals, and preferences. That decision can change over time as progress is made and priorities shift.
The original biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current options before booking. In general, online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow quick check-ins when needed. It can also let people use video for deeper interaction or brief phone conversations when a shorter check-in is more practical. Ask about available formats when scheduling so sessions match daily routines and goals.
