About Linda
Linda Craig is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who helps people manage stress, anxiety, and low self-esteem. She supports adults facing big life changes and guides people toward practical ways to cope. Linda keeps sessions calm and focused so clients can slow down and think clearly.
She draws on experience from crisis residential settings and outpatient behavioral health. That background means she is familiar with crisis work, psychosocial assessment, and structured treatment planning.
Background and approach
Linda also has experience with veteran services and the kinds of stressors that can come with complex life events. In sessions she emphasizes a trauma-informed approach and cultural humility. She works at a steady pace and looks for small, concrete steps that fit day-to-day life.
Conversations are collaborative - she listens, offers tools, and adapts plans to what seems to work. Linda pays attention to communication patterns, control issues, and feelings of guilt or shame. She also helps people practice self-love and forgiveness as part of recovery.
Her focus is on skills that make everyday tasks feel more manageable. Clients can expect a practical, grounded style that balances emotional understanding with real-world strategies. Linda’s goal is to help people build consistency and connection while they work through stressors and life transitions.
Evidence-based approaches for online care
Linda uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical skills and emotional regulation. One approach emphasizes building coping skills for anxiety and stress through teachable strategies and repeated practice. This helps people gain tools they can use during stressful moments and across daily life.Another approach centers on trauma-informed care and pacing. It focuses on safety, grounding techniques, and slowly working through difficult memories or reactions. This method is meant to prevent overwhelm and support steady progress over time.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist works collaboratively with each person to identify which techniques match their needs, goals, and comfort level. Together they track what helps and adjust methods if something isn’t fitting well.
Online sessions offer several practical benefits. Video calls let clinicians and clients read visual cues and have a full conversation. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or for people who prefer not to be on camera. Live chat and text-based messaging work for short check-ins, reminders, and ongoing skill practice between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule and to keep consistency across weeks.
