About Linda
Linda Levinson is an Ohio LPCC - Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor with ten years of clinical experience. She began her work after completing a dual degree in mental health and substance abuse treatment and has focused on addiction, trauma, stress, and mood concerns. She also supports people dealing with relationship and intimacy questions, grief, parenting strain, and ongoing anxiety or sleeping problems.
Her early work involved clients recovering from opioid dependence and co-occurring disorders. That experience shaped how she helps people facing both substance use and emotional health struggles. Over time she expanded to process addictions such as shopping, gaming, exercise, gambling, and sex and love related concerns.
She has significant experience with LGBTQIA clients and with people exploring sexual identity. She also works with clients who are in open or non-monogamous relationships and addresses issues that can arise from sexual trauma, dysfunction, or grief. Family of origin and relationship patterns are commonly part of the work she does with adults.
Sessions focus on naming what holds a person back and finding practical ways to build on strengths from their past. She uses a mix of approaches to match a person's needs, including acceptance-based work, cognitive methods, mindfulness, and client-centered conversations. The aim is to identify small, manageable changes and skills people can try between sessions.
Linda frames therapy as a collaborative process. She offers direct, down-to-earth guidance and practical tools for coping with life changes, addiction challenges, mood struggles, and communication problems. People who want clear steps and reflective conversation may find this style a good fit.
How therapeutic approaches are used in online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying personal values and taking committed action even when difficult thoughts and feelings show up. It can help people who want to reduce avoidance and live more in line with what matters to them. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns. It is often used for anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and coping with stressful situations. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and reflective conversation so clients can find their own solutions and build confidence in decision making.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals, preferences, and needs and will use a mix of methods to find what works best. That collaboration helps shape session focus and homework between visits.
Confirm current session options before booking so you know which formats are offered. Online sessions can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and avoid travel time. They also let some people use quieter surroundings or skip being on camera when that helps them engage. Many licensed professionals use similar approaches online, and the therapist will help decide practical arrangements that best support the work.
