About Lynda
Dr. Lynda Cokuslu is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Georgia. She brings nine years of clinical experience and focuses on helping people who are coping with stress, anxiety, addiction, trauma, mood concerns, and ADHD.
She offers a warm, down-to-earth presence for people who want practical help with everyday life struggles. Her style is compassionate and straightforward. Sessions focus on clear goals and small, workable steps people can try between meetings.
Background and approach
She encourages self-compassion, better communication, and skills to manage strong emotions. Dr. Cokuslu draws from several proven approaches, choosing methods that fit each person's needs.
She uses tools that help with thoughts and behaviors, emotional regulation, and identifying what matters most to a person. The work is collaborative so clients help shape the plan. People often come for help with grief, relationship strain, career stress, parenting pressures, sleep problems, or challenges tied to chronic illness.
She also addresses issues such as body image, caregiving stress, and commitment concerns. Sessions aim to reduce distress and increase day-to-day functioning. Her practice offers a practical, respectful space to talk through hard things.
New clients complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a time that fits their life. Dr. Cokuslu supports people who want steady, skills-based work alongside thoughtful personal reflection.
Therapeutic approaches and online care that fit your life
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying values and taking action toward a meaningful life even when difficult thoughts and feelings are present. It can help people who feel stuck or who want more purpose-driven change. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps identify and change unhelpful thought and behavior patterns to reduce anxiety, depression, and stress. It is useful for practical problem solving and symptom relief. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) supports people in understanding and reshaping emotional responses that affect relationships and connection.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and then recommend methods to try. That plan can shift over time as needs change, and decisions are made together so the work stays relevant.
Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to match how people prefer to connect. Video is helpful for deeper dialogue and visual cues, phone can be a good fit when bandwidth is limited or for shorter check-ins, and messaging or chat allow ongoing support between meetings. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule and reach care from different locations.
