About Lynda
Dr. Lynda Cokuslu is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Georgia with nine years of experience. She helps people manage anxiety, depression, stress, and relationship concerns. She also supports those dealing with addiction, grief, parenting strain, sleep or eating issues, and adjustment to life changes.
Her work pays particular attention to patterns that start in the family of origin and continue to affect current relationships and behavior. She talks with clients about attachment, abandonment, and how childhood roles can shape adult choices. She also addresses practical problems like career stress, caregiving burden, and chronic health-related challenges.
Sessions focus on clear, evidence-informed tools. Dr. Cokuslu uses cognitive behavioral techniques to shift unhelpful thinking and behavioral patterns. She also brings Acceptance and Commitment Therapy ideas to help people clarify values and take workable steps toward them.
When emotions are intense, she draws on Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills to teach concrete ways to regulate feelings and manage conflict. Emotionally-Focused Therapy approaches are used for people who want to improve how they connect with others and repair relationship strain.
Her style is direct and practical. People meet to talk through what currently causes distress and to practice new skills between sessions. The process includes setting short-term goals, tracking progress, and adjusting strategies as needed.
How therapeutic approaches work in online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and take small, value-driven steps despite difficult thoughts or feelings. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and coping with life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors to reduce symptoms like worry, low mood, or sleep disruption. It is practical and goal-oriented.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences and will suggest which methods to try first. Clients and the therapist then review how a method is working and make changes together as needed.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove the time spent traveling. They can also let people attend from different locations within the same state. Licensed professionals, including this therapist, work with clients to find session lengths and rhythms that fit daily life.
