Linda Levinson

Linda Levinson is a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor with ten years of experience in Ohio. She started her career after completing a dual degree in mental health and substance abuse treatment and has spent much of her practice helping people recover from opioid abuse and related disorders. Linda also helps people facing anger, anxiety, depression, stress, and issues tied to addiction and trauma.

She has experience with process addictions such as shopping, video gaming, internet use, exercise, gambling, and sex and love addictions. Linda has worked with members of the LGBTQIA community and helps people sort through questions about sexual identity, sexual trauma, grief, or dysfunction. She also supports people navigating open or non-monogamous relationships.

Linda describes her work as accepting and empowering. In sessions she helps people identify what is holding them back and name strengths that can be used to move forward. She draws from several approaches so each plan fits the person’s needs and goals.

Her background in substance abuse treatment informs how she approaches co-occurring concerns such as depression, anger, and low self-esteem. Sessions tend to focus on practical steps, clearer thinking, and the small changes that add up over time.

Clients can expect a focus on collaboration and real-world problem solving. Linda uses techniques from evidence-based approaches alongside mindfulness and client-centered work to help people make steady progress.

Therapeutic approaches and online care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, focuses on clarifying personal values and taking small committed steps toward them while learning to sit with difficult thoughts. It can help when anxiety, depression, or anger get in the way of living the life someone wants.

Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and understanding the person in front of the therapist. It helps people feel heard and build confidence to make changes at their own pace.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Linda will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their goals, needs, and comfort level. That may mean trying different strategies and adjusting over time so the plan fits real life.

If you are considering online therapy, confirm the current session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow check-ins that are shorter when needed. Talk with the therapist about what will work best for scheduling, pacing, and the kinds of issues you want to address.
