About Linda
Linda Cousens is a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) based in Maine who helps people manage stress, anxiety, anger, and life changes. She also supports clients facing relationship strain, trauma and abuse, addiction concerns, grief, and career questions. Linda brings more than two decades of counseling experience to her work and aims to make therapy practical and reachable.
She uses straightforward, person-focused conversations to clarify what matters most to each client.
Background and approach
Sessions aim to identify patterns, build coping strategies, and try small, doable changes between meetings. Linda describes therapy as a collaborative effort where the client’s goals guide the plan. Her methods draw from approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Client-Centered Therapy.
She adapts techniques to the situation rather than following a one-size-fits-all script. That flexibility helps address issues like self-esteem, intimacy concerns, eating struggles, and compassion fatigue. Linda has a Master’s degree in Counseling and a Certificate of Advanced Study, and she holds the LCPC credential.
Over 22 years in the field have included independent practice work and a range of clinical settings that inform her practical approach. Sessions focus on small steps that add up. Linda aims to teach skills people can use between visits so progress continues outside the session time.

Therapeutic approaches for online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and take action toward those values, even when hard thoughts or feelings appear. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors to reduce symptoms like anxiety or low mood. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and collaboration, giving clients space to set the pace and direction of their work.Finding the right approach is part of the therapy process. The therapist will work together with each person to choose methods that match their goals, preferences, and the issues they want to address. That collaborative process can include mixing techniques when it makes sense for a client’s situation.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility. Video calls are useful for face-to-face conversation and skills practice, phone sessions can fit into a busy day or require less bandwidth, live chat can be a quick way to check in, and text messaging supports ongoing brief reflections between appointments. These options make it easier to maintain momentum and adapt therapy to everyday life.
