More about Linda

8 years' experience
Female
LPC

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor with more than eight years of experience providing mental health services in community-based settings. I have had the privilege of working with individuals from diverse cultural, ethnic, socioeconomic, and life backgrounds, helping them navigate a wide range of concerns, including anxiety, depression, trauma, PTSD, OCD, ADHD, life transitions, relationship challenges, and career-related stress. I also have extensive experience supporting individuals who have experienced emotional abuse, trauma, and other adverse life events.

My counselling style is warm, collaborative, and culturally responsive. I believe every person deserves to be treated with dignity, respect, compassion, and understanding. I strive to create a safe, nonjudgmental space where clients feel heard, valued, and empowered to explore their thoughts, emotions, and experiences.

My therapeutic approach integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Humanistic Therapy, Psychodynamic Therapy, and Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy (REBT). I recognize that each person's journey is unique, and I tailor treatment plans to meet each client's individual needs, goals, and strengths.

Seeking support takes courage, and choosing to invest in your emotional well-being is an important step toward positive change. Whether you are facing personal challenges, navigating life transitions, or seeking greater balance and fulfillment, I am committed to supporting and empowering you throughout the process.

I look forward to partnering with you on your journey toward healing, growth, and well-being.

About online counselling

Counselling without referrals.: No doctor referral required.
Convenient.: Virtual counselling sessions are a flexible alternative to in-person therapy.
Available now.: Counselling in as little as 48 hours. No waiting list and no calls to make.

Online counselling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counselling is generally more affordable than in-person counselling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counselling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.
