About Linda
Linda Richards is a licensed professional counselor with more than 21 years in mental health. She focuses on helping people move past the stuck points that keep them repeating unhelpful patterns. Linda speaks plainly and aims to make therapy feel practical and manageable for everyday life.
She has long experience working with trauma and the ways it can show up as anxiety, depression, chronic pain, and other symptoms. Linda helps people recognize how past neglect or hurt still shapes their reactions and relationships today.
Background and approach
She uses approaches that attend to both body sensations and thought patterns to help emotions settle. In sessions she draws on Attachment-Based Therapy to look at how early relationships influence current closeness and trust. She also uses Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, sometimes referred to as EMDR, to address painful memories that keep causing distress.
Mindfulness techniques are woven in to help clients notice moments of stress and choose different responses. Linda works with a wide range of concerns including stress, grief, addictions, parenting strain, anger, self-esteem, ADHD, and midlife transitions. She also supports people dealing with abandonment, dissociation, family-of-origin problems, infidelity, and isolation.
Sessions are aimed at helping people regain balance and make clearer choices. Her approach is collaborative and down-to-earth. Linda listens for the patterns behind behavior and offers step-by-step strategies alongside deeper emotional work.
She encourages realistic goals and steady progress rather than quick fixes.

Online support
Attachment work and trauma-focused care online
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current patterns of closeness, trust, and upset. It helps people name recurring ways of relating and try new, safer ways of connecting with others. EMDR, or Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, targets painful memories and the strong emotions tied to them so those memories become less triggering over time.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Linda will talk with each person about goals, symptoms, and preferences and then recommend a mix of methods that fit. That planning is collaborative so people can try techniques and adjust them as needed.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video is useful for longer sessions and face-to-face conversation. Phone sessions can be a good fit when bandwidth is limited or for a focused check-in. Live chat and messaging work well for brief updates, coaching-style guidance, or when writing feels easier than talking. These options let people fit therapy into work, caregiving, or busy schedules while keeping care consistent.
