About Linda
Linda Suzette Danks is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Oklahoma. She focuses on stress, anxiety, relationships, trauma and abuse, self esteem, and depression. She speaks English and offers sessions by video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging.
Linda draws on several decades of life experience alongside four years of professional clinical work to guide her approach. Clients find a straightforward, compassionate style in sessions. She aims to make it easy to talk about hard things and to name what feels off.
Background and approach
Linda keeps conversations practical and focused on small, doable steps that fit day-to-day life. Her background includes many years leading youth groups and lived experience as a trauma survivor and military family member. That perspective shapes how she listens to concerns about trauma, abandonment, and caregiving stress.
She also has experience helping people facing chronic illness, end-of-life issues, and isolation. Sessions address concrete problems such as communication breakdowns, family of origin issues, divorce and separation, and first responder stress. Linda works with people on forgiveness, rebuilding confidence, and coping with chronic pain or serious illness.
She also supports those dealing with aging and geriatric concerns. Therapy begins with a simple conversation to map current struggles and set practical goals. Linda prefers a collaborative process that moves at a pace the client chooses.
The focus is on useful tools and steady progress rather than complex jargon.
How evidence-based approaches work online
Many of the techniques used in therapy are practical ways to change thoughts, feelings, and reactions. One common approach focuses on building coping skills for anxiety and stress - learning simple breathing or grounding exercises and testing them in everyday situations to reduce overwhelm. Another approach addresses trauma by helping a person make sense of painful memories and gradually reduce their hold on daily life through paced, structured conversations and coping tools.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will listen to the client's goals and preferences and suggest which methods to try first. This is a collaborative process and adjustments are made together as progress is tracked.
Online sessions offer flexibility for busy schedules and different needs. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions require less bandwidth and can be easier during short breaks. Live chat and text messaging let people check in between sessions, send quick updates, or do shorter coaching-style conversations without scheduling a full call.
