About Linda
Linda Levinson is an Ohio LPCC with ten years of clinical experience helping people facing addiction, trauma, mood struggles, and major life changes. She began her career after earning a dual degree in mental health and substance abuse treatment and has worked extensively with people recovering from opioid dependence and co-occurring disorders. Linda’s background includes work with process addictions such as shopping, gaming, internet use, exercise, gambling, and sex and love addiction.
She regularly supports people dealing with anxiety, depression, grief, anger, low self-esteem, and stress. Linda has experience with issues related to sexual identity and has worked with many members of the LGBTQIA community. She also works with clients navigating open or non-monogamous relationships and the impacts of sexual trauma and relationship dysfunction.
In sessions she helps people identify what is holding them back. She looks at how past experiences can point to present strengths. Sessions often involve practical steps and conversational reflection to move toward clearer day-to-day choices.
Her approach draws on several evidence-informed methods to match a person’s needs and preferences. Linda will combine techniques to address mood, coping skills, and problematic behaviors. The work can include looking at values, changing unhelpful thinking, and practicing mindful awareness.
People who come with career uncertainty, relationship questions, addiction concerns, or struggles with parenting and caregiving often find the focus is on problem solving and skill building. The practice aims to help people make thoughtful decisions about what matters next in their lives.
Therapeutic approaches and using online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying personal values and taking action that aligns with those values. It can help people who feel stuck decide what matters and take small, practical steps toward it. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at patterns of thinking and behavior and teaches concrete skills to shift unhelpful thoughts and reduce distress. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and managing addictive behaviors.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before. That discussion guides whether ACT, CBT, mindfulness practices, or a combination fits best, and the plan can be adjusted as progress unfolds.
Confirm which session formats are offered before booking, as the biography does not list specific delivery methods. Online sessions can make it easier to fit appointments into a weekday break or a busy caregiving schedule. They can also allow a shorter check-in when time is tight or avoid the need to travel. Licensed professionals often blend reflective conversation, values work, and skill practice in remote sessions to address addiction, mood, and life-direction concerns.
