About Linda
Linda Orlando is a licensed clinical professional counselor with nine years of experience helping people sort through stress, anxiety, depression, and life transitions. She practices from a narrative-informed perspective and focuses on practical steps people can use right away. Linda speaks plainly and centers each person's story as the starting point for change.
She views clients as the experts in their own lives and looks for strengths to build on.
Background and approach
Sessions are collaborative and goal-focused. Linda helps people clarify values, manage troubling thoughts, and make choices that fit their priorities. Her work covers common concerns like relationships, career questions, parenting strain, grief, sleep problems, and attention challenges such as ADHD.
She also supports people facing long-term health issues, body image concerns, and gender-related matters. Treatment plans are tailored to what a person wants to achieve rather than a one-size-fits-all method. Linda uses several approaches to match each person’s needs, including Narrative Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, client-centered methods, and brief hypnotherapy techniques.
Sessions mix conversation, targeted exercises, and real-world tasks to practice between appointments. Linda is licensed in Maine as an LCPC and conducts work with adults by video, phone, live chat, or text messaging. To begin, she guides people through a short matching process and then schedules sessions that fit their routines.

Online session options
How narrative and values-based therapy work online
Narrative Therapy helps people reframe the stories they tell about themselves and their problems. It looks for alternative storylines that highlight strengths and agency, which can reduce the power of painful events or labels.Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, focuses on values and committed action. It teaches ways to notice thoughts and feelings without getting stuck, then take small steps that fit what matters most to the person.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy targets unhelpful thinking patterns and builds practical skills to change behaviors. It often uses short exercises and real-life practice between sessions to make progress week to week.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss your goals and preferences and recommend methods that suit your needs. That collaborative process lets you try different strategies until something fits.
Online formats make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives. Video calls are useful for face-to-face interaction and visual cues. Phone sessions work when bandwidth or visual setup is limited. Live chat and text-based messaging offer brief check-ins, quick coaching, or ongoing support between longer sessions. These options provide flexibility for scheduling and for using different formats as needs change.
