About Linda
Linda Skoug is an LPC (Licensed Professional Counselor) practicing in Wisconsin with 13 years of clinical experience. She works with people dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, trauma and abuse, self-esteem, and other life changes. Linda lists social anxiety and phobia among the issues she addresses and includes ADHD and depression in her scope of practice.
She uses practical, conversation-based work to help people name what feels overwhelming. Sessions focus on clear, manageable steps rather than long lectures. Linda draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify patterns that keep problems active and on Attachment-Based ideas to look at how early connections influence current relationships.
Hypnotherapy is also part of her toolkit and is offered as an option for people who find guided relaxation and focused attention helpful. She discusses how each method might fit a person’s goals before using it. The work is collaborative and paced to each person’s comfort level.
Clients can expect direct discussion about current problems, practice of new skills between sessions, and check-ins on progress. She addresses practical issues like parenting, career stress, grief, addiction, and eating concerns with concrete strategies. Linda also lists areas such as abandonment, adoption and foster care, and attachment issues among her additional focuses.
Sessions are provided in English and are based in Wisconsin. International clients are not accepted. Cost varies by location and sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time. To begin, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.
Approaches used online and how they help
Linda uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people spot unhelpful thought patterns and try small behavior changes that reduce anxiety and improve daily functioning. CBT is practical and focused on things to do between sessions that change how problems show up.She also uses Attachment-Based Therapy to look at how early relationship experiences affect current connections and emotional reactions. This approach can help when relationship patterns or fears of closeness make social situations harder.
Hypnotherapy is offered as an option for people who respond to guided relaxation and focused attention; it is presented as a supportive tool rather than a stand-alone cure and is discussed first to see if it fits a person’s comfort level.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Linda will talk through goals, preferences, and how different methods might fit. That helps shape a plan that feels manageable and realistic.
