About Linda
Linda Levinson is a licensed professional clinical counselor with ten years of clinical experience. She began her career after earning a dual degree in mental health and substance abuse treatment and has worked extensively with people recovering from opioid and other substance-related problems. Linda combines practical skills with plain talk to help people dealing with stress, anxiety, anger, depression, and addiction-related concerns.
Her early work focused on substance use and co-occurring disorders, which shaped the way she approaches trauma, guilt, shame, and low self-esteem.
Background and approach
Over time she added experience with process addictions like shopping, gaming, Internet use, exercise, gambling, and sex and love addictions. She also helps people navigate issues related to sexual identity and the LGBTQIA community. Linda sees each person as having strengths to build on.
She helps clients identify what gets in the way of change and uses those strengths to set achievable goals. Sessions emphasize honest conversation, practical strategies, and steps that can be tried between meetings. Her practice supports people dealing with relationship concerns, intimacy difficulties, parenting strain, grief, chronic health problems, and career transitions.
She also works with those coping with ADHD, bipolar mood challenges, and compassion fatigue. Linda values acceptance and empowerment as central to the work. Clients can expect a blend of approaches chosen to match their needs.
Linda draws on cognitive and mindfulness-based tools alongside client-centered and acceptance-oriented ideas to help people move toward the life they want.

How Linda’s Approaches Translate to Online Care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, focuses on helping people clarify their values and take meaningful action even when difficult thoughts or feelings are present. It can be useful for stress, anxiety, anger, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, CBT, targets unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and teaches practical skills for mood, sleep, and coping with cravings or compulsive habits. Client-centered therapy emphasizes a trusting, nonjudgmental conversation that helps people feel heard and supported while they work through identity, relationship, or grief issues.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Linda will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before. Together they will test methods and adjust the plan so sessions match the client’s needs and pace.
Online work is offered by video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make care fit into busy lives. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation and skills demonstration. Phone calls can be easier when bandwidth is limited or for shorter check-ins. Live chat and messaging are helpful for ongoing coaching, brief check-ins, or when writing out thoughts feels more comfortable. These options aim to make it simpler to keep therapy consistent and usable alongside daily responsibilities.
