About Lynda
Lynda Green Alter is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) practicing in California with 25 years of experience. She helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship issues, trauma and abuse, parenting concerns, and depression. Lynda also offers support for addictions, eating concerns, LGBT issues, and social anxiety and phobia.
She focuses on straightforward conversation and practical steps. Sessions center on talking through what feels most pressing and looking at behaviors and patterns that keep problems going. She pays attention to communication problems, control issues, and body image, and she helps people facing divorce and separation or first responder stress.
Lynda draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques to address panic attacks, post-traumatic stress, and isolation or loneliness. She also works with people exploring life purpose, forgiveness, and self-love. Hospice and end-of-life concerns are included when those topics arise.
Her style is collaborative and grounded. She helps clients notice what is working and what gets in the way, then practices small, doable changes together. Sessions aim to be clear and practical, not full of jargon.

How evidence-based approaches translate to online sessions
Many evidence-based techniques focus on changing thoughts and behaviors in simple, teachable ways. Cognitive strategies help identify and challenge unhelpful thoughts that increase anxiety or panic; they are useful for social anxiety and panic attacks. Behavioral methods use gradual exposure and practice to reduce fear of social situations or phobic triggers and to build confidence.The right approach often becomes clear after a few visits. Lynda will work collaboratively to match methods to your goals and comfort level, adjusting pace and techniques based on what helps most. Clients and therapist decide together which tools to try and how to measure small changes.
