About Linda
Linda Wiley is a Washington LICSW with 15 years of experience as a therapist. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, grief, low self-esteem, and the practical challenges of life changes.
She helps people who are struggling with motivation and confidence after a major change. She also supports those dealing with aging and geriatric issues, isolation or loneliness, and social anxiety or phobia. Life purpose questions are included among the topics she addresses.
Linda favors clear, direct conversation. Sessions focus on identifying what is getting in the way and practicing small changes that can be tried between meetings. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is one tool she uses to help people notice patterns and shift unhelpful thinking.
She also uses Client-Centered approaches to listen and respond to what each person brings to the room. Mindfulness techniques are offered to help manage stress and reduce reactivity in day-to-day situations.
Her style is practical and steady. People who want to explore next steps after a job, relationship, or health change tend to fit well with this way of working. To begin, users follow the site process to view available online therapy options and schedule a first session.
How Linda’s approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy centers on listening and reflecting what matters to the individual. Online sessions using this approach focus on following the client’s concerns and shaping conversation around immediate priorities. This method helps when someone needs to talk through decisions after a big change.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions. In remote sessions CBT is used to identify unhelpful thinking patterns and test small behavioral experiments between meetings. That can be useful for reducing anxious cycles and improving day-to-day coping.
Mindfulness Therapy teaches attention skills and simple exercises to reduce reactivity. Practicing short mindfulness skills between sessions can lower stress and increase awareness of choices in challenging moments.
Finding the right mix of these approaches is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to choose methods that fit their goals, strengths, and preferences. This is a practical, step-by-step process rather than a fixed prescription.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm available options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into work breaks, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. Talk with the therapist during the first meeting about how to structure sessions so they work with everyday life.
