About Linda
Linda King-Bronner is a licensed clinical social worker in New York with 30 years of professional experience. She helps people facing addictions, family stress, career changes, compassion fatigue, and major life transitions. Her approach is respectful and straightforward, aimed at helping people take the first steps toward change.
She listens carefully and adapts conversations to each person's needs. Sessions focus on real problems and practical next steps rather than jargon.
Background and approach
Clients can expect an empathetic presence that values sensitivity and dignity. Linda draws on several evidence-informed approaches to guide work in the room. She uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people clarify values and take meaningful action.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps identify and shift unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. Attachment-Based and Emotionally-Focused methods are used when relationship patterns and emotional bonds are central concerns. Client-Centered work keeps the person’s experience and goals at the heart of planning.
Together these methods are used flexibly to match what each person needs. Her background includes long-term clinical work in New York and varied settings over three decades. That breadth of experience informs sessions and helps when problems are complex or overlapping.
People meet a seasoned practitioner who aims to support realistic, practical progress. To begin, she encourages a simple first step: reach out, answer a short matching questionnaire, and schedule a session to see if the fit feels right.
Therapeutic approaches and online care that fit your life
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying what matters to you and taking small actions that align with those values. It can help when people feel stuck or unmotivated and want a clearer sense of purpose. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches practical skills to change patterns that cause distress. It is useful for anxiety, low mood, and habit changes.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with you about your goals and preferences and together decide which methods to try first. That choice can change over time as needs evolve, and sessions are adjusted based on what is helping.
Online therapy offers flexibility to fit sessions into a busy life. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when seeing expressions matters. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be easier when you need a shorter check-in. Live chat or text-based messaging lets you send thoughts between sessions and is useful for brief updates or when typing feels easier. These options make it simpler to keep momentum and make steady progress without long commutes.
