Linda Flynn, LCSW

Linda Flynn is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in Kentucky with 15 years of clinical experience. She focuses on recovery from narcissistic abuse, addiction, and depression, helping people rebuild self-trust, emotional safety, and day-to-day stability after prolonged trauma.

She works with people who have faced gaslighting, emotional manipulation, and long patterns of control. Linda addresses the emotional wounds that often underlie substance use and uses practical coping strategies to support recovery. Sessions emphasize restoring a clearer sense of self and steadier emotion regulation.

Her approach draws on attachment-based ideas to look at how early relationships shape expectations and patterns. She also uses client-centered conversation to center each person's goals and perspectives. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) techniques appear in sessions to teach skills for mood, anxiety, and impulse management.

Linda describes her work as trauma-informed and collaborative. She helps people name what happened, sort out unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns, and practice alternative ways of relating to themselves and others. The focus is on practical steps that carry over into everyday life.

With experience across relational trauma and addiction recovery, she supports people through grief, betrayal, and rebuilding routines. People who want straightforward, skills-focused support for trauma, mood, or substance concerns may find this approach useful.
