How her approaches translate to online therapy
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people clarify what matters to them and take small steps toward those values while accepting difficult thoughts and feelings. It is useful for stress, anxiety, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on changing unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns through practical exercises and homework. CBT often helps with anxiety, depression, and problems with mood or behavior. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, teaches skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and clearer communication, which can support people coping with intense emotions or relationship challenges.Finding the right approach is normally part of the first sessions. Linda works collaboratively to identify which methods fit a person's goals and daily life. She adapts methods based on what is helping and what feels manageable for the client.
