About Linda
Linda Orlando is a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) based in Maine. She uses straightforward, practical methods to help people facing stress, anxiety, depression, ADHD, and phobias. Linda emphasizes strengths and real steps you can take right away.
She speaks English and has nine years of clinical experience. Linda approaches therapy as a collaborative process. She listens first, then helps people notice patterns that get in the way.
She draws on cognitive behavioral techniques to change unhelpful thinking and on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to clarify values and small actions that matter.
Background and approach
Sessions also include client-centered listening and occasional narrative work to reshape the stories people tell about themselves. In sessions she focuses on short, practical goals. That might look like learning specific coping skills for anxiety, testing a feared situation slowly, or practicing new ways to handle stress at work.
Linda uses simple exercises, questions, and guided conversations rather than jargon. She also offers hypnotherapy when it fits a person's goals. People come to Linda for many concerns including relationship strain, parenting stress, grief, body image, chronic illness, and career transitions.
She supports those coping with life changes and major decisions by breaking problems into manageable steps. Her style is direct but warm, aiming to help people build workable habits they can keep using. To get started clients complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions.
Therapy is offered through video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging so people can find a format that fits their day.
Therapeutic approaches and online care that fit your life
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice what matters to them and take small steps toward those values even when uncomfortable feelings show up. ACT is useful for anxiety, avoidance, and coping with life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings, and behavior; it teaches practical skills to reduce anxiety, depression, and phobic reactions by testing beliefs and changing unhelpful habits. Client-Centered Therapy centers on listening and building a supportive relationship so people can explore choices and feel understood.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Linda will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their goals, preferences, and daily life. That might mean trying a skill-based CBT technique for a few weeks, pairing it with ACT exercises, or using narrative questions to reframe a problem. The plan evolves based on what helps most.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video is useful for face-to-face conversation and guided exercises. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is low or when someone needs a brief check-in. Live chat and text messaging work well for shorter exchanges, coaching between sessions, or when writing feels more comfortable. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, family, or medical schedules and to keep progress going from wherever a person is located.
