About Linda
Linda Scaturro is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in New York. She draws on 25 years of experience helping people who feel overwhelmed by stress and anxiety, or who face depression, grief, relationship strain, addiction, and other life changes. Her approach is conversational and down to earth.
Sessions are interactive and focused on the person in front of her. Linda listens carefully, asks practical questions, and helps people notice strengths they already have.
Background and approach
She uses straightforward methods to build everyday skills. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps people spot unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviors. Solution-Focused Therapy narrows attention to small changes that move someone toward their goals.
Mindfulness techniques support calmer thinking in high-stress moments. Linda aims to create a respectful, supportive space where people can talk about painful things without judgment. She emphasizes practical steps - setting goals, practicing new skills, and checking what works in real life.
The work is collaborative; clients and therapist decide the priorities together. Over her career she has helped people facing midlife transitions, caregiving stress, panic attacks, and substance concerns, among other issues. She also assists those dealing with aging and blended family situations.
Her style suits people who want clear tools, steady support, and an experienced guide through change.
Therapeutic approaches and online care that fit your life
Linda uses Client-Centered Therapy which focuses on listening closely and following the person's lead to build trust and confidence. This approach helps when someone needs a supportive, respectful space to sort out feelings and choices.She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to identify unhelpful thoughts and test new ways of acting. CBT is useful for stress, anxiety, panic, and mood shifts because it breaks concerns into clear steps to practice between sessions.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals and preferences, try methods that match those goals, and adjust the plan as progress is made. Decisions about techniques are made together rather than imposed.
Online therapy is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility. Video lets people work face to face when visual cues matter, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited, live chat or messaging can fit quick check-ins or when writing feels easier, and text options are helpful for frequent short support. These formats make it easier to schedule sessions around work, caregiving, or other commitments while keeping therapeutic momentum.
