Approaches that shape online care
Linda uses Narrative Therapy to help people examine and sometimes rewrite the stories they tell about themselves, which can shift how they cope with loss, identity questions, and major life changes. Client-Centered Therapy is another foundation of her work and focuses on listening closely, following each person’s pace, and building goals together. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used to identify patterns of thought and behavior that contribute to anxiety or depression and to practice concrete strategies that change daily routines.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to choose methods that match their goals, needs, and preferences. That means trying techniques, checking in on what helps, and adjusting the plan as issues evolve.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility. Video calls are useful for face-to-face conversation and exercises, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited, live chat can provide a shorter check-in, and text messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, caregiving, or busy daily routines while focusing on practical change and steady progress.
