Linda O'Malley

Linda O’Malley is a licensed mental health counselor practicing in New Hampshire with 15 years of experience. She operated a therapy practice in Bristol, Rhode Island for many years before relocating to Salem, New Hampshire in 2019. She holds licensure to practice mental health counseling in both New Hampshire and Rhode Island.

Her professional background includes a long career in human services and more than a decade running her own therapy practice. She describes herself as a mature therapist in both years and experience, and she has worked with individuals facing anxiety, panic symptoms, fears and phobias, depression-related low motivation, family and relationship stress, self-esteem and confidence struggles, and the grief process.

Linda’s approach begins with building trust and then helping clients clarify what they want to be different in their lives. Once goals are clear, she focuses on adding practical tools to each client’s toolbox so they have strategies to make the changes they desire.

She maintains a clinical supervisory relationship in which she discusses symptoms while protecting identifying client details. Supervision is a regular part of her professional practice and provides additional perspective and guidance; by signing an agreement to work together, clients acknowledge that she consults with a supervisor about symptoms when needed. Linda follows ethical requirements and will not share any identifying personal information without a signed release.

Making changes is not always easy, and Linda aims to provide support, encouragement, practical strategies, and constructive feedback to help clients progress toward their goals and sustain the changes they want to make.
