About Lynda
She uses a client-centered way of working that starts with the person’s own goals and strengths. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a common tool she uses to help people change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. Motivational interviewing and solution-focused techniques are used when someone needs help finding practical next steps.
Lynda aims to make sessions genuine and respectful. She treats people as the experts in their own lives and helps them build on what already works. In sessions she listens, reflects, and offers tools that are tailored to each person’s situation.
Her background includes long experience with trauma and abuse, bipolar disorder, and major life transitions. She also has experience supporting people facing chronic illness, caregiver stress, and aging-related challenges. That practical experience informs how she helps clients set realistic, actionable goals.
For someone feeling overwhelmed or stuck, she focuses on clear goals and small, steady changes. She helps people identify strengths, practice new skills, and track progress over time. The aim is to make daily life feel more manageable and meaningful.

How her approaches translate to online therapy
Lynda commonly draws on Client-Centered Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy when supporting people online. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening, empathy, and helping the person lead the conversation; it helps people clarify what matters most to them and set personal goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy involves identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing small behavioral changes to reduce symptoms like anxiety and depression.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. She will talk with each person about what they want to achieve and which methods feel most useful. That collaborative process guides how techniques are blended and adapted over time.
If you are considering online sessions, confirm the specific session options before booking since formats are not listed in the biography. Online work can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also lets people practice skills where they live and then review how those changes are working in day-to-day routines.
