Linda Culver

Note: Linda Culver now maintains a weekday daytime-only schedule, with appointments available between 9:30 am and 2:30 or 3:30 pm. She points out that online counseling options make it possible to find a clinician whose hours align with a client’s availability.

Linda Culver is nationally certified as a Master Addiction Counselor through NAADAC and is licensed in Indiana to practice both mental health counseling and clinical addiction counseling. She brings 20 years of clinical experience working in hospitals, residential treatment centers, and outpatient counseling settings with people aged 12 through 90.

With licenses and certification in both addiction and mental health, she especially focuses on supporting people in 12 Step recovery who need help with “outside issues” while maintaining principles of recovery. Her approach is typically cognitive-behavioral, emphasizing how thoughts can be reframed and how choices influence behavior, while also teaching ways to experience and cope with feelings more effectively.

She holds the belief that no situation is hopeless, that difficult problems can be improved, and that intense unhappiness can be reduced—ideas consistent with recovery tenets. When adjustment to change feels hard, grief is overwhelming, or stress seems overpowering, she believes it can make a meaningful difference to work through those challenges with another person and that talking about concerns is often the first step toward better coping and resolution.

Linda invites people to select the communication method that feels most comfortable and to ask any questions they may have. She recognizes that many begin without knowing exactly how the process will unfold and affirms the value of taking that initial step toward help.

Areas she works with include stress and anxiety, addictions, relationship issues, grief and coping with life changes, LGBT concerns, family conflicts, trauma and abuse, intimacy-related issues, eating and sleeping disorders, parenting challenges, anger management, self-esteem, career difficulties, bipolar disorder, depression, coaching, compassion fatigue, and ADHD.
