Practical, evidence-informed support through online therapy
Linda Dollen draws from several structured, client-focused approaches to help people work through stress, anxiety, depression, relationship concerns, and major life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors and replacing them with more workable responses, which can be especially useful when worry, low mood, or avoidance is getting in the way of daily life.Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps clients make room for difficult thoughts and feelings while building skills to act in line with personal values. This approach can be helpful for people who feel stuck, overwhelmed, or disconnected from a sense of purpose. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) emphasizes practical tools for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and communication, supporting clients who want steadier coping and healthier interactions.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. Linda collaborates with clients to clarify goals, understand what has and has not helped before, and choose strategies that fit their needs and preferences.
Online therapy with Linda can take place through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, offering flexible ways to stay engaged in therapy and keep momentum between sessions.
