About Linda
Linda Oberle is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in Texas and a Licensed Master Social Worker (LMSW) in Michigan with six years of practice. She works with people facing addiction, trauma and abuse, parenting challenges, stress, anxiety, relationship and family concerns, grief, low self-esteem, depression, and life transitions. Sessions focus on practical steps people can use in daily life.
Before moving into clinical practice, she spent much of her career in child welfare and has experience with substance abuse, crisis intervention, and cases involving physical and emotional trauma. That background informs how she notices safety, risk, and practical needs during work together.
Her approach is interactive and client-centered. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to identify unhelpful thoughts and to build useful habits. Mindfulness techniques are used to help people manage stress and strong emotions in the moment.
She also works with people around post-traumatic stress and uses Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing when appropriate. Motivational Interviewing supports change around substance use and other behavior patterns.
Sessions are organized around clear, achievable goals. She focuses on solution-oriented planning and practical skills people can try between meetings. The person seeking help drives the pace and priorities of treatment.
Linda emphasizes respect for cultural differences and aims to be nonjudgmental in sessions. To start, she asks about immediate concerns and then builds a plan that fits the client’s life and responsibilities.
BHow sessions work
How her therapeutic approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters most to them and then take small, values-guided steps. In online sessions this can mean setting brief, doable actions to practice between meetings and checking progress together.Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and responding to the person’s priorities. Through video or phone conversations a therapist follows the client’s lead, reflects concerns, and adjusts pacing to match day-to-day life.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the connections between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches specific techniques to shift unhelpful patterns. CBT works well online because worksheets, behavioral experiments, and brief skill practice can be assigned and reviewed between sessions.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, symptoms, and preferences and will recommend one or a mix of methods. That decision is collaborative and can change as needs evolve.
Confirm current session options before booking since formats were not specified in the biography. Online appointments can make it easier to fit therapy around work, parenting, and other responsibilities. They also allow for shorter check-ins when schedules are tight, sessions without video when bandwidth is limited, and direct follow-up on home practice and coping strategies.
