About Linda
Linda Newton is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 25 years of experience. She practices in Colorado and works with people who struggle with anxiety and related concerns. Linda speaks English and brings long-term clinical experience to each session.
She has spent much of her career helping people who carry complex trauma and co-occurring issues like substance use, depression, and relationship strain. Linda has particular experience with military-related trauma and has worked on teams focused on military sexual trauma and post-traumatic stress.
Background and approach
She also designs psychoeducational material that explains how trauma can affect self-esteem and substance use. In sessions she uses clear, practical methods. She draws from client-centered therapy to follow a person’s goals and from cognitive behavioral therapy to identify and change unhelpful thinking patterns.
Dialectical behavior therapy skills and EMDR tools are available when they match a person’s needs. Linda aims for concrete steps people can use between appointments. That can mean short skills practice, communication exercises, or written reflections to track progress.
She also supports people dealing with anger, grief, fertility stress, and questions of life purpose. Her approach is collaborative and straightforward. She helps each person figure out what matters most, then chooses tools that fit their situation.
Practical, steady support is central to her work.
Therapeutic approaches and online care
Client-centered therapy focuses on the person’s priorities and values. The therapist listens closely and helps shape goals that feel meaningful. This approach helps when someone wants guidance that follows their own pace and choices.Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts influence feelings and actions. It teaches practical exercises to test and change unhelpful thinking and to build coping skills for anxiety and depression.
Eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR) is a trauma-focused method that helps process painful memories and reduce their emotional intensity. It is often used when past events continue to cause flashbacks, strong reactions, or avoidance.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk through goals, preferences, and how symptoms show up, then recommend methods that fit. This is a collaborative process and can change over time as needs shift.
Online sessions are offered by licensed professionals through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and guided exercises. Phone sessions work well when a lower bandwidth option or a quieter audio-only check-in is needed. Live chat or text messaging can be useful for brief check-ins, skill reminders, and ongoing support between longer meetings. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, caregiving, or travel schedules.
