About Linda
Linda Robinson is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker - Certified in Maryland (LCSW-C) with 14 years of experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, low self esteem, and depression. She also focuses on forgiveness, guilt and shame, life purpose, and self-love.
Linda uses plain, practical conversation to help people talk through painful feelings. Sessions tend to look at what keeps shame or guilt active and what small steps might reduce their intensity. Faith and personal values are treated as part of the story when clients want that considered.
Her approach draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques to address symptoms and patterns that show up day to day. She pays attention to how past events shape current beliefs about worth and behavior. Work can include talking through specific memories, shifting self-critical thoughts, and relearning how to respond to triggers.
Clients are invited to try new ways of relating to themselves rather than pushing for instant change. The emphasis is on steady practice and realistic goals. Linda encourages people to notice progress in practical terms, such as fewer avoidance behaviors or clearer decision making.
Sessions balance emotional work with concrete skills. That may mean practice between meetings, simple behavior changes, or focused reflection on values and purpose. The aim is clearer thinking about guilt and shame and more choice in how to respond to them.
Therapeutic approaches and how online sessions are used
Evidence-based techniques used in her practice often include approaches that focus on changing unhelpful thinking patterns and those that process difficult memories. Cognitive-style work looks at self-critical thoughts and teaches ways to test and shift them; this helps reduce the intensity of shame-driven reactions. Memory-focused processing helps people revisit painful events in a paced way, lessen overwhelming emotion, and change the meanings attached to those memories.Finding the right method is part of the work. She collaborates with each person to pick approaches that match their needs, goals, and preferences. That choice is revisited as therapy progresses so interventions stay practical and relevant.
The original biography does not specify which session formats are offered, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit meetings into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Telephone sessions can be useful when lower bandwidth or a simpler setup is needed, while video can support face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Licensed professionals can help decide which format best fits each person’s schedule and the kind of work they want to do.
