About Linda
Linda Stein is an LPC (Licensed Professional Counselor) with 25 years in the mental health field. She approaches therapy from a person-centered viewpoint that treats each client as the expert in their own life. Her style is warm and respectful, and she focuses on helping people regain clarity and make choices that serve them better.
Linda helps people handle stress, anxiety, grief, depression, and issues around self-esteem. She also supports those coping with life changes, parenting and step-parenting concerns, adoption and foster care matters, and blended family issues. Codependency, relationship and intimacy-related concerns, and communication problems are among her focus areas.
Her work includes assisting people facing trauma and abuse, compassion fatigue, career questions, and struggles with life purpose. Linda also has experience supporting LGBT clients, including parents of children, teens, and adults who are coming out as gay, queer, or trans, and she attends to multicultural and gender dysphoria concerns.
Linda uses practical tools drawn from Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT), Existential Therapy, and Solution-Focused Therapy. In sessions she listens, reflects, and helps clients identify strengths and small steps they can try between meetings.
Her practice is grounded in respect and sensitivity. To start, she asks questions to understand a person's situation and goals, and then works collaboratively to build clearer thinking, healthier patterns, and improved relationships.
How Linda's approaches translate to online work
Linda often draws on Client-Centered Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) when working with people online. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening, empathy, and collaborating with the client to identify goals and strengths. CBT helps people notice unhelpful thinking patterns and try small, practical changes to reduce symptoms like anxiety and low mood.Many people also benefit from Emotionally-Focused Therapy ideas, which emphasize understanding emotions and improving how people connect in important relationships. These approaches can help with intimacy-related concerns, codependency patterns, and rebuilding trust after loss or trauma. Linda will work together with each person to decide which combination of approaches fits their goals and situation.
Because specific session formats were not specified in the biography, confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life by removing travel time, allowing shorter check-ins when needed, and offering flexibility around work or caregiving schedules. A licensed professional will help plan a session rhythm that fits daily routines and therapeutic goals.
