About Linda
Linda Levinson is a licensed professional clinical counselor (LPCC) with ten years of experience. She focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, addictions, depression, grief, parenting concerns, and relationship struggles. Linda draws on practical tools so parents and adults can make meaningful changes in daily life.
Her background includes work in mental health and substance abuse treatment, including supporting people recovering from opioid use and co-occurring disorders. That experience shaped her ability to address trauma, low self-confidence, guilt, shame, anger, and process addictions such as gambling, gaming, shopping, and sex and love addictions.
Background and approach
Linda also has substantial experience with clients who identify as LGBTQIA and with people navigating sexual identity questions. She helps clients talk through sexual trauma, loss, and intimacy challenges, and she is familiar with open and non-monogamous relationship dynamics. In sessions she helps people identify what holds them back and how life history can reveal strengths to build on.
She uses a mix of approaches to suit each person’s needs rather than a single method. Her style is collaborative and direct. Linda offers practical strategies and mindfulness-based practices alongside cognitive tools.
She aims to help parents and other adults find clearer direction, better coping, and steadier routines.

Approaches for online parenting and recovery work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) centers on noticing thoughts and values, then taking actions that matter despite difficult emotions. ACT can help when parenting stress, anxiety, or addiction make it hard to act in line with priorities.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and changing behavior patterns. It is useful for anxiety, mood, sleep, and anger by teaching concrete skills to shift thoughts and routines.
Mindfulness Therapy encourages present-moment awareness and simple practices to reduce reactivity and improve emotional regulation. These exercises pair well with ACT and CBT to build steadier responses to stress.
Picking the best approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, daily challenges, and preferences, then adjust methods as needed. Expect a mix of discussion, practical exercises, and short at-home practices chosen together.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video is useful for deeper conversations and visual cues, phone can be lighter on bandwidth, live chat works for brief check-ins, and text messaging helps sustain ongoing support between meetings. These options let parents and busy adults fit care into work, childcare, or other obligations.
