About Linda
Linda Kartell is a Florida licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) with 24 years of professional experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship concerns, LGBT issues, and career questions. She also helps people dealing with forgiveness, guilt and shame, isolation and loneliness, and questions about life purpose.
Linda frames clients as the experts on their own lives. She focuses on identifying existing strengths and practical resources. Sessions concentrate on reducing current difficulties by building on what already works for the client.
Her style is collaborative and straightforward. Conversations look at specific problems and the small steps that can change how someone feels day to day. Linda encourages people to notice what helps and to try concrete adjustments between sessions.
Over her career she has worked in a range of settings and brought the same basic approach to different kinds of concerns. She aims to be consistent and steady while people sort through decisions about work, relationships, or purpose.
People who come when they feel stuck or unsure about what comes next will find a focus on practical change. The emphasis is on clarifying what matters now and on workable moves forward rather than on abstract theory.
How her approach adapts to online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the person's own knowledge and strengths. In practice this means the therapist listens for what is already helping and asks questions that bring those things into view. This approach can help with stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, depression, and questions about life purpose by building on small, usable strengths.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Linda treats the choice of methods as collaborative. She will discuss options with each person and adjust the focus based on the client's goals and preferences rather than imposing a fixed plan.
The practical benefits of online work include fitting sessions into a busy life and keeping progress consistent when schedules are tight. Online sessions can make it easier to have shorter check-ins, reduce travel time, and fit a meeting into a workday break. Confirm current session options before booking so you know which formats are offered and can choose what fits your routine.
