About Linda
Linda Levinson is an Ohio-based licensed professional clinical counselor with ten years of experience helping people navigate stress, addiction, anxiety, depression, and ADHD. She offers straightforward support for issues like low self-esteem, anger, grief, and problems tied to sexual identity. Her work includes helping people facing process addictions such as shopping, gaming, internet use, exercise, gambling, and sex and love addictions.
She brings experience from treating opioid recovery and co-occurring disorders, so she is familiar with how addiction and mental health often overlap.
Background and approach
That background informs practical conversations about triggers, cravings, and relapse prevention. Linda focuses on helping clients see how past experiences connect to current strengths and obstacles. Her approach adapts to each person.
She draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, Existential therapy ideas, and mindfulness practices. Sessions typically include talking through patterns, trying small behavior changes, and developing skills to manage strong emotions.
Linda has worked with many people from the LGBTQIA community and is comfortable addressing sexual identity, relationship styles such as open or consensual non-monogamy, and issues arising from sexual trauma or dysfunction. She emphasizes acceptance and empowerment as core values in therapy. Practical goals often include better sleep, improved communication, coping with life transitions, or reducing addictive behaviors.
Linda explains options plainly and helps people choose steps that fit their day-to-day lives.
Therapeutic approaches you can use online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and take small steps toward those values even when emotions are strong. It is useful for anxiety, depression, addiction, and life changes where motivation and meaning matter.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them with practical behavior changes. This approach is often used for anxiety, depression, sleep issues, and managing strong emotions like anger.
Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a respectful, nonjudgmental conversation where the therapist follows the client's lead and helps people feel understood as they consider changes.
Finding the right approach is collaborative. Linda will talk with each person about goals, try methods that fit their needs, and adjust plans over time. Therapy choices evolve based on what helps in real life rather than sticking to a single technique.
Online therapy offers flexibility for different schedules and needs. Video calls let people use visual cues and longer sessions, phone sessions work when bandwidth is limited, live chat can be useful for short check-ins, and text-based messaging supports ongoing coaching-style contact. These formats make it easier to fit care into work, family, or medical schedules while using the approaches described above.
