About Linda

Linda King-Bronner is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in New York with 30 years of experience. She works with people managing addictions, family concerns, career stress, and major life transitions. Sessions are focused and practical, with straightforward discussion about what is happening now and what could change.

Linda uses a mix of approaches to help clients notice patterns that come from their family of origin and from earlier relationships. She draws on cognitive behavioral techniques to identify unhelpful thoughts and on acceptance and commitment ideas to clarify values and next steps. Attachment-based ideas are used to look at how early relationship roles affect present connections.

In practice she keeps conversations client-centered and goal-oriented. People can expect to talk through concrete problems, try small behavioral experiments, and track what helps between meetings. Sessions often include reflecting on relationship patterns, planning actions, and checking progress on those plans.

Her experience includes work with abandonment and attachment issues, blended family concerns, caregiving stress, body image, chronic illness, and codependency. Linda also supports people navigating commitment issues, career setbacks, and compassion fatigue related to caregiving roles.

Sessions are conducted in English and she accepts international clients. Prospective clients are asked to use the site's matching and scheduling process to set up an initial appointment and to confirm session options before booking.

Approaches used online and how they help

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) encourages noticing thoughts and choosing actions that match personal values. It can help when someone feels stuck by old patterns and wants clearer next steps. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors to reduce distress and improve functioning. This approach is useful for worries tied to work, relationships, or addictive habits.

Picking the right approach is part of working together. The therapist will discuss what feels most useful based on the client's goals and preferences, and will adjust methods over time as needs change. The process is collaborative and practical, with small experiments and regular review of what helps.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm the current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. International clients are accepted and sessions are offered in English; check the booking flow for how to schedule and arrange timing that fits everyday life.
