About Lynda
Dr. Lynda Cokuslu is a Licensed Professional Counselor practicing in Georgia. She has nine years of clinical experience helping people with anxiety, stress, depression, and other life challenges.
She keeps her work straightforward and practical so clients can use what they learn quickly. She emphasizes a compassionate, person-focused style. Sessions often involve listening closely, naming patterns that cause distress, and trying small changes to improve day-to-day coping.
She aims to help people build self-respect and clearer communication with others.
Background and approach
Dr. Cokuslu draws on several evidence-based methods to match each person's needs. That can mean working on thoughts and behaviors, practicing emotional regulation skills, or clarifying personal values and goals.
She adapts the approach as progress unfolds rather than sticking to a single method. Many clients come for anxiety, relationship strain, grief, or struggles with work and identity. Others seek help for trauma, addiction, sleeping or eating concerns, parenting stress, or attention difficulties.
Sessions focus on realistic steps the person can try between meetings. Her aim is to create a respectful setting where people feel heard and can take concrete steps toward feeling better. She encourages collaboration, clear goals, and steady progress at a pace each person can manage.
Approach-driven care delivered online
Dr. Cokuslu commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in her work. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and take small, values-driven actions even when anxiety or difficult feelings come up. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thought and behavior patterns and testing small changes to reduce distress and improve functioning.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. She will work with each person to pick methods that match their goals, preferences, and the problems they want to address. That allows the plan to shift as progress is made and new priorities emerge.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone conversations, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility. Video works well for in-depth conversation and skill practice, phone calls can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat suits quick check-ins, and text messaging supports short updates or ongoing coaching between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life while focusing on skills, values, and steady progress.
