About Linda
Linda Levinson is an Ohio LPCC - Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor with ten years of experience. She works with people dealing with addiction, trauma, mood concerns, and the everyday stress that follows. Guilt and shame are listed among the issues she helps address.
She began her work after earning a dual degree in mental health and substance abuse treatment. Early experience focused on opioid recovery and co-occurring conditions. That work shaped her approach to addictions and to related concerns like depression, anxiety, anger, and low self-confidence.
Linda also works with process addictions such as shopping, video gaming, internet use, exercise, gambling, and sex and love addictions. She has experience supporting people who are exploring sexual identity and those in LGBTQIA communities. She also sees clients who are involved in open or consensually non-monogamous relationships.
Her methods draw from a few practical approaches. She uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, client-centered work, existential ideas, and mindfulness techniques to help people notice patterns and try different responses. Sessions focus on identifying what is holding someone back and on using past strengths to move forward.
Clients can expect straightforward conversation about problems and practical steps to try between meetings. Linda pairs skills practice with reflective discussion so people can test new ways of coping and relating. The aim is clearer choices and steadier action, not quick fixes.
How her approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice painful thoughts and choose actions that match their values. It can be useful for guilt, shame, and coping with life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing different behaviors to change mood and reactions. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and problem behaviors. Client-Centered Therapy centers on the person's experience in the moment and uses listening and reflection to help clarify goals and next steps. Finding the right approach is part of the work. Linda will talk with each person about what they hope to address and will try methods that fit their goals and preferences. That collaborative process helps decide whether ACT, CBT, client-centered work, or a mix makes the most sense. Confirm the current session formats before booking so you know what specific online options she offers. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, shorten travel time, and allow quieter check-ins during a lunch break or between appointments. They also let people practice skills in everyday settings and bring real-life situations into conversation with the therapist.Areas of expertise
