About Linda
Linda Platt, LPC helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, addiction, relationship strain, and self-esteem struggles. She also supports those coping with trauma, grief, ADHD, and major life transitions. Her approach treats each person as the expert on their life and looks for strengths to build on. She welcomes questions and recognizes how hard making a first step can feel.
In session she keeps things practical and straightforward. Conversations focus on what is happening now and on small steps that make a difference. She uses tools from cognitive behavioral work to shift unhelpful thinking, and draws on attachment-based ideas to understand relationship patterns. Emotionally-Focused Therapy techniques are used to deepen emotional awareness when that helps.
Mindfulness practices are woven in to teach simple ways to calm the body and focus attention. Sessions are collaborative: goals are set together and adjusted as needs change. Linda has nine years of professional experience as a licensed professional counselor in Arizona and brings that background to each client encounter.
She has worked with people facing a wide range of issues, including parenting challenges, body image concerns, aging and caregiver stress, and identity questions related to LGBT concerns. Her style is respectful and down-to-earth, aimed at helping people find clearer ways to cope and move forward.
To start, she asks clients to complete a short questionnaire and then schedule a session. The process is intended to make the first steps as simple as possible for someone seeking support.
