More about Linda

  • 6 years' experience
  • Female
  • LPCC

After earning a dual degree in mental health and substance abuse treatment, I began to work with clients who were recovering from opioid abuse and co-occurring disorders. This gave me the unique capacity to help clients not only with addiction, but also trauma, stress, depression, low self-confidence, guilt & shame, anger, and anxiety among many other issues. In addition to general counseling services, I am seasoned in working with process addictions such as shopping, video gaming, Internet, exercise, gambling, and sex and love addictions.

I have worked with many clients in the LGBTQIA community and value diversity for others and myself. I have the knowledge and skills to work with clients who struggle with sexual identity and help emotionally work through many issues that arise as a result of sexual trauma, grief or dysfunction. I also work with many clients who open and/or non-monogamous relationships. I believe that acceptance and empowerment is the foundation of this work.

I use my accumulated skills to help you identify what is holding you back and how your past helps you identify your strengths to achieve the life you want. I can use a variety of approaches to fit your needs.

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.

Linda, is a very admirable and magnificent therapist. You sometimes even forget that she is one that the way you converse is quite casual and the whole story gets out there instead of like a public talk where you filter out the dirty talk. I always look forward to my conversations with her and always prepared of what I want to talk with her about, because I get so zoned in that I go over our time limit. So that really shows that I enjoy being with her and time passes quite fast, that to be looking at the clock every 5 minutes to wait for the session to finish. It's more like looking at the clock every 5 minutes to make sure you still have enough time.

Linda is such a pure and nice person. I would actually love to send her a gift if I was ever able to. She is that one friend who will always listen to you, and even though it is her job, you really just zone out and forget because of how easy the conversation flows. I will say so far I've had excellent experience with her. I also cannot believe that in 3 months I'll be having my 1 year anniversary starting with Betterhelp and Linda.

It's always a good feeling when I ask her if she remembers when I told her a story and she says yes, it's always great because I know she's been engaging since day one. She almost always feels like a sister to talk to and I'm comfortable telling her everything that I feel and every situation that's happened. And not always bad ones, but even good ones to share. Or even big stages that I was able to conquer because of her help and I wanna share with her that she was a part of it and made it possible. :)
