How Linda’s Approaches Work Online
Linda uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice and change unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviors, which can reduce anxiety and low mood. CBT sessions often include exercises to practice between meetings and steps to handle difficult situations differently.She also uses Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills to teach emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and better interpersonal responses. DBT tools are useful for managing strong emotions and improving everyday coping strategies.
EMDR is sometimes used when trauma memories are blocking progress; it involves guided processing to help the brain reframe distressing memories and lower their emotional charge. EMDR sessions are combined with other techniques when appropriate.
Finding the right mix of approaches is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, history, and preferences and then tailor techniques to fit those needs. Clients are invited to give feedback so the plan can change as progress is made.
Online therapy offers flexibility in how people connect. Video calls allow face-to-face interaction, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited, and live chat or text-based messaging can support quick check-ins or ongoing reflection. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule and to use the format that feels most comfortable for each person.
