About Linda
Linda Kenny is a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) practicing in Massachusetts with 34 years of professional experience. She works with stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, self-esteem, depression, and coping with life changes. Linda frames clients as experts in their own stories and focuses on using their strengths to address challenges.
She encourages a clear, practical way of working. Sessions are conversational and goal-focused. Linda helps people name what's getting in the way, try small changes, and notice what shifts. She uses explanations and examples so ideas are easier to apply outside the session.
Linda has long experience supporting people through hard transitions. That includes work related to abandonment, attachment issues, divorce and separation, blended family concerns, and commitment worries. She also addresses challenges linked to health and caregiving, such as chronic illness, cancer, caregiver stress, and aging and geriatric issues.
Other areas she supports include body image, codependency, avoidant and dependent personality traits, communication and control issues, and coping with chronic pain or disability. Linda aims to help people build practical coping skills and clearer ways of relating to others.
Her approach is person-centered and rooted in evidence-based therapeutic techniques. She meets people where their concerns are and helps them choose steps that fit their daily life and values.
How evidence-based methods translate to online sessions
Linda draws on well-established, evidence-based techniques to help people with anxiety, relationship struggles, and coping with life changes. For example, cognitive-behavioral strategies focus on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing small behavior changes to reduce anxiety and improve confidence. Behavioral techniques can include gradual exposure to feared situations in manageable steps to help reduce avoidance and increase tolerance.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist and client collaborate to decide which techniques fit the client’s goals, daily routine, and preferences. Plans are adjusted as needed based on what is helpful and what feels doable in everyday life.
Confirm the available session formats before booking, as the biography does not list specific options. Online sessions can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, reduce travel time, or allow for shorter check-ins when needed. Many people find remote sessions convenient for maintaining continuity during life changes, but exact formats should be verified with the practice before scheduling.
