About Linda

Linda Craig is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who helps people facing stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, and big life changes. She speaks plainly and offers steady, practical support for everyday struggles. Her approach is calm and collaborative so people can move at a pace that feels right.

She draws on six years of experience in settings such as crisis residential treatment, outpatient behavioral health, and veteran services. That background shaped how she helps with intense moments and ongoing strain.

Background and approach

Sessions focus on clear goals, coping skills, and small changes that add up over time. In the room she aims to build connection and consistency. She uses trauma-informed ideas and cultural humility to understand each person’s story.

That means listening first, then matching tools to what feels manageable. Common topics she helps with include communication problems, control issues, forgiveness, guilt and shame, and practices that build self-love. Work often includes learning ways to handle strong feelings, improving day-to-day routines, and repairing patterns that hold people back.

People meet by video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging depending on what fits their schedule. Therapy uses a subscription model that can be canceled at any time. To begin, a short matching questionnaire helps pair someone with the right schedule and next steps.

Focus areas and approaches

Online support

How therapeutic approaches fit into online care

Linda uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical skills and emotional regulation. One common approach is skills-based work that teaches coping techniques for anxiety and stress, such as breathing, grounding, and step-by-step plans to manage overwhelming moments. These skills help people handle day-to-day pressures and reduce intensity over time.

Another helpful approach is trauma-informed care, which emphasizes safety, pacing, and understanding how past events shape current reactions. This approach supports people working through painful memories or patterns by moving at a comfortable speed and using techniques that build stability and trust.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will ask about needs, goals, and preferences, then try methods that fit. Sessions are collaborative and adjusted as progress is made so the plan stays useful and realistic.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls allow fuller conversation and visual cues, phone sessions can fit into a busy day or require less bandwidth, and live chat or text messaging supports quick check-ins or ongoing reflection between appointments. These options make it easier to schedule consistent care and keep momentum while balancing other responsibilities.
