About Linden
Linden Howe is an LMFT licensed in California with six years of clinical experience. He works with people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and family concerns, parenting strain, and struggles with self-esteem and motivation.
He helps people talk through relationship issues, communication problems, and the fallout from separation or divorce. He also addresses grief, trauma and abuse, anger, and intimacy-related concerns. Guilt and shame are listed among his focus areas and are discussed openly in sessions when they come up.
In sessions he uses tools drawn from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, psychodynamic ideas, Existential thinking, and Jungian perspectives. That can mean looking at how thoughts shape actions, examining recurring life patterns, and naming values that matter now. He explains ideas plainly and links them to real steps people can try between meetings.
Linden aims to create an environment where clients can say what they are thinking and feeling without judgment. He listens, reflects, and helps people test small changes that can reduce conflict and improve mood. He encourages practical experiments alongside deeper reflection.
People who choose him often want a mix of practical strategies and deeper work on meaning, patterns, or family dynamics. If someone needs clarity around guilt, forgiveness, or purpose, he will combine short-term tools with conversations about the bigger story that shapes those feelings.
How his approaches translate to online sessions
CBT is focused on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors. It gives concrete tools to manage anxiety, low mood, and guilt-driven thinking. Sessions often include simple experiments to try between meetings.Psychodynamic and Jungian perspectives look at recurring patterns, early influences, and personal meaning. These approaches help people notice the stories they repeat and how those stories affect relationships and self-worth. They can be useful when feelings like shame or control issues run deep.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Linden will discuss what feels most relevant and adjust the focus as goals and preferences become clearer. That collaboration helps shape whether sessions emphasize skills, pattern work, or meaning-focused conversation.
