About Lynda
Dr. Lynda Cokuslu is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Georgia with nine years of experience. She focuses on helping people facing stress, anxiety, depression, addiction, and parenting challenges.
Her work centers on steady, practical steps rather than quick fixes. She aims to create a calm, respectful space where people can talk through what feels overwhelming. Before sessions begin she listens to what matters most and what has already been tried.
Background and approach
She helps clients sort priorities, set small goals, and practice new ways of coping. Sessions often include learning skills for managing strong emotions, improving sleep, and handling relationship strain. Her approach draws from several well-known therapies including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Client-Centered Therapy.
She adapts these methods to each person’s situation, leaning on strategies that fit day-to-day life. Parents and caregivers often find the practical focus helpful when balancing stress and family demands. Dr.
Cokuslu pays attention to life transitions such as grief, career shifts, and caregiving stress. She also supports people dealing with trauma, attachment concerns, and issues around identity. Work may involve coping plans, communication practice, or targeted behavioral steps to reduce symptoms.
Sessions are offered in English and are available through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Getting started involves completing a short matching questionnaire and scheduling a time that works with her availability.

Therapeutic approaches you can use online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that match their values. It can help with anxiety, stress, and when life changes make decisions harder. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on spotting patterns in thoughts and behaviors and testing new ways of responding. CBT is useful for depression, sleep problems, and managing strong emotions effectively. Client-Centered Therapy centers the person’s own goals and experience; the therapist follows the client’s lead and provides steady support while the client works toward change.Choosing the right approach is part of the process. The therapist works collaboratively to figure out what fits your needs, goals, and day-to-day life. Treatment can blend methods and adjust over time so you can try practical steps and see what helps.
Online therapy offers options that fit different schedules and preferences. Video calls are close to an in-person session and work well for teaching skills or having in-depth conversations. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be easier to fit into a lunch break. Live chat or text-based messaging lets you check in between sessions or use shorter updates when that suits your routine.
