About Linda
Linda Platt is a licensed professional counselor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, addiction concerns, relationship problems, trauma, and depression. She works with people who want practical help for grief, parenting strain, self-esteem issues, career changes, and life transitions. Linda welcomes clients who identify as LGBT and those coping with ADHD or intimacy-related struggles.
Linda uses a respectful, down-to-earth style in sessions. She treats each person as the expert on their own life and looks for strengths to build on.
Background and approach
Conversations tend to focus on concrete steps and new ways of handling difficult situations rather than long lectures. Her practice draws on approaches such as attachment-based work, client-centered techniques, and cognitive behavioral ideas. That means sessions may look at how relationships shape emotions, focus on what matters most to the client, and test practical behavior changes to reduce anxiety and stress.
She has nine years of professional experience and holds an LPC - Licensed Professional Counselor - credential in Arizona. Linda has worked in independent practice settings and with people who have experienced abuse, abandonment, or complex life stressors. Clients report that sessions are straightforward and collaborative.
The therapist aims to offer clear tools for coping, emotion regulation, and rebuilding connection after loss or trauma. Linda encourages small, steady steps toward the goals a person identifies.
Therapeutic approaches and online support
Attachment-based work looks at how early and current relationships affect feelings and behavior. It can help with anxiety, intimacy struggles, and trust issues by identifying patterns and building new ways of connecting. Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and managing stress with concrete strategies.Choosing an approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, concerns, and preferences, and together they will try methods that fit best. Sessions can evolve as needs change, and the clinician will suggest adjustments when something is not helping.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions work well when someone has limited bandwidth or prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text-based messaging make brief check-ins or shorter, frequent support possible. These options help people fit therapy into work, parenting, or busy schedules while maintaining consistent treatment.
