About Linda
Linda Edwards is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in New York with four years of professional experience. She works with people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, bipolar disorder, and depression. Her practice also addresses social anxiety and phobia, panic attacks, isolation, and concerns around communication and relationships.
In sessions she focuses on clear, practical conversation. She helps people name what is happening, notice patterns, and try steps that can reduce distress. When needed she addresses guilt, shame, and issues that come up after divorce or separation. She also supports people exploring forgiveness and increasing self-regard.
Her work balances short-term problem solving with attention to longer-term coping. She listens for patterns linked to mood and anxiety, and suggests manageable tools that can be practiced between sessions. Some people come for help with panic symptoms, others for support after trauma; sessions adapt to those needs.
Linda emphasizes collaboration. She and the client shape goals together and check progress over time. She explains options in plain language and offers concrete steps to try outside of sessions.
Sessions are conducted in English and are based in New York. The practice uses a subscription model that can be canceled at any time, so session cost varies depending on location and plan. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first appointment.
How evidence-based methods work in online sessions
Linda uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical steps people can try between sessions. One common approach is behavioral work that breaks situations into small tasks and gradual exposures; this can help with panic symptoms and social anxiety by building confidence through repeated practice. Another useful approach is mood-focused work that tracks patterns in thinking and behavior and then tests small changes to reduce depressive symptoms and stabilize mood.Finding the right mix of methods is collaborative. The therapist will discuss options, explain how each approach might help, and adjust based on the client’s needs, goals, and preferences. Clients and the therapist check progress and switch strategies if something is not working.
Confirm the current session options before booking, as formats are not specified in the biography. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Phone sessions may use less bandwidth and work better for brief updates, while video can support face-to-face conversation and nonverbal cues. Ask about available formats when completing the matching questionnaire so sessions match everyday life and scheduling constraints.
