About Linda
Linda Kenny is a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) based in Massachusetts with 34 years of professional experience. She centers care on each person's strengths and treats clients as the expert of their own story. She aims to support people who are ready to make changes and take the first steps toward a more satisfying life.
She uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help people manage stress and anxiety. Sessions focus on practical steps for coping with depression, improving self-esteem, and navigating life changes.
Background and approach
Linda also addresses relationship concerns and communication problems with clear, goal-oriented work. Her background across three decades includes helping people with issues tied to attachment, abandonment fears, and commitment worries. She has experience supporting people facing chronic illness, caregiver stress, cancer-related challenges, and aging and geriatric concerns.
She also works with body image, codependency, and avoidant or dependent personality patterns. Therapy with Linda is collaborative and down-to-earth. She listens, helps clarify goals, and suggests concrete tools clients can try between sessions.
The focus is on what feels doable and helpful in daily life. Sessions are offered in English and can be conducted through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. The practice uses a subscription model for sessions that can be canceled at any time, and costs vary by location and therapist availability.
Evidence-based techniques for online care
Linda uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on skills and problem solving. One common approach she uses teaches concrete coping skills for managing anxiety and stress, such as grounding and breathing strategies, and helps people practice them in real situations. Another approach centers on improving communication and relationship patterns by identifying unhelpful interaction habits and trying new ways of speaking and setting boundaries.Finding the right method is a team effort. Linda works with each person to identify goals and preferences, then adjusts techniques as needed. She partners with clients to figure out what helps most and refines the approach over time based on progress and feedback.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls let people work face-to-face when a deeper conversation is needed. Phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is limited or a quieter check-in is preferred. Live chat and text-based messaging are available for brief updates, quick coping reminders, or when typing feels easier than talking. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into a busy life and to keep momentum between sessions.
