About Linda
Linda Cavett is a Florida-licensed mental health counselor with three decades of experience supporting people through parenting stress, addiction concerns, relationship difficulties, and mood struggles.

Background and approach
Sessions often include skill practice for managing anxiety, improving communication, and coping with grief or trauma responses. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is part of her approach when clients need tools to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. Emotionally-Focused Therapy informs work on attachment and intimacy-related issues, helping people notice and shift interaction patterns.
Her background includes long experience with addictions, bipolar concerns, compassion fatigue, and caregiver stress. Linda also supports people dealing with anger, impulsivity, and midlife transitions, aiming for steady progress rather than quick fixes. She frames therapy as a partnership.
Parents and individuals set goals together, and Linda adapts techniques as needs change. Her style is practical, empathetic, and focused on helping people regain confidence in their choices.

How her approaches translate to online care
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and responding to each person's experience. In sessions the therapist reflects what you say, helps you set clear goals, and adapts the pace to what feels right. This approach helps when parents need understanding and straightforward support.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at connections between thoughts, feelings, and actions. Online CBT sessions often include simple exercises to try between meetings to reduce anxiety, shift unhelpful thinking, and change behaviors. Emotionally-Focused Therapy helps people notice patterns in close relationships and find new ways to connect; it can be useful for intimacy-related issues and improving communication.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about goals and preferences, then recommend methods that fit those needs. This is a collaborative process and techniques can be adjusted over time.
Online formats offer practical flexibility. Video calls let you see facial cues and work through emotion-focused exercises. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging allow for ongoing support and quick coping strategies between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy parenting and work schedules.
