About Linda
Linda Craig is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who helps adults who are feeling overwhelmed by stress and anxiety. She focuses on building practical skills for self-esteem, coping with life changes, and improving communication. Linda speaks plainly and works at a pace that feels manageable for each person.
She draws on six years of clinical experience in settings like crisis residential treatment and outpatient behavioral health. That background has shaped a calm, steady approach that aims to reduce immediate distress and create routines that support daily life.
Background and approach
Sessions tend to emphasize short-term tools alongside longer-term personal work. Linda uses trauma-informed principles and cultural humility to guide conversations. She helps people understand how guilt, shame, and control issues show up in day-to-day choices.
She also supports clients who want to practice self-love and forgiveness in concrete ways. In sessions she combines listening with hands-on strategies. People can expect concrete exercises, communication practice, and planning for everyday challenges.
The goal is clearer thinking, fewer reactive moments, and better coping skills between appointments. Linda offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to fit different schedules. She works with adults in California and holds the LCSW credential, Licensed Clinical Social Worker, in that state.
To begin, a short matching questionnaire helps pair a person with scheduling options that fit their life.
Evidence-based approaches and online care
Linda draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on building skills for everyday challenges. One approach emphasizes practical coping skills and behavioral strategies to reduce anxiety and manage stress, using short exercises and plans you can practice between sessions. Another approach centers on trauma-informed care, which helps people notice how past experiences affect current reactions and learns ways to respond differently in stressful moments.Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work together with each person to decide what fits best, based on their needs, goals, and preferences. That collaborative process can include trying different techniques and adjusting plans as progress is made.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect. Video calls allow face-to-face conversations when visual cues help, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited, live chat can be used for shorter check-ins, and text-based messaging helps people keep momentum between longer appointments. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and to choose the format that feels most comfortable.
