About Linda
Linda Flynn is an LCSW (Licensed Clinical Social Worker) based in Kentucky with 15 years of clinical experience. She focuses on recovery from narcissistic abuse, addiction, depression, and related relationship and emotional problems. Linda works with adults who are dealing with long-standing patterns that show up in their intimate relationships and daily life.
Her practice centers on helping people rebuild self-trust and emotional steadiness after invalidating or controlling relationships. She talks through patterns like gaslighting and emotional manipulation, and helps people name and understand how those experiences influence choices now. In addiction work she looks at the emotions and beliefs that underlie substance use and supports practical coping skills for staying in recovery.
Linda combines Attachment-Based, Client-Centered, Cognitive Behavioral, Dialectical Behavior, and Existential approaches in straightforward ways. That can mean looking at relationship patterns from attachment history, practicing skills to manage strong feelings, and testing new behaviors between sessions. She keeps language direct and focuses on observable steps people can try in daily life.
Sessions often address common ripple effects of relational harm - problems with intimacy, boundaries, self-esteem, anger, and communication. She also works with issues such as caregiver stress, body image, chronic illness adjustment, career concerns, and parenting challenges when those topics link to the person’s relational history.
People who choose her typically want a collaborative therapist who helps them understand patterns and practice different ways of responding. The work involves reflection, skill-building, and planning changes that fit ordinary routines.
How therapeutic approaches are used in online sessions
Attachment-Based work looks at how early relationships shape trust and closeness. In sessions this means mapping common patterns and practicing new ways of relating to reduce repeated hurts. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. Online CBT often involves identifying unhelpful thoughts, trying small behavioral experiments, and using straightforward homework between sessions to test changes. Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences and will work with the client to choose which methods to try. That collaborative planning can be adjusted as skills are learned and needs shift. Please confirm which specific session formats are currently offered before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a weekday or work break, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when a full hour is not needed. It can also make practicing skills in real-life settings more convenient, since exercises and behavioral experiments can be discussed immediately after they are tried.Areas of expertise
