About Linda
Linda Oberle is a licensed clinical social worker who focuses on practical, down-to-earth help for parents and adults facing stress, grief, addiction, and trauma. She uses straightforward conversation and clear goals to help people handle difficult situations and make daily life feel more manageable. She holds the Licensed Clinical Social Worker credential (LCSW) and the Licensed Master Social Worker credential (LMSW).
Linda draws on six years of experience in clinical practice and a longer career in child welfare to understand the kinds of challenges that show up around parenting, substance use, and past abuse.
Background and approach
Her background informs how she sees safety, stability, and routine as part of healing. In sessions she stays attentive and interactive. She works in a nonjudgmental way and respects different cultures and life choices.
Linda prioritizes the client's goals and builds a plan that reflects what the person wants to change or improve. Her approach combines practical skills with emotional support. She often uses techniques from cognitive behavioral therapy and mindfulness to change unhelpful patterns.
When trauma is present she may include methods to address painful memories and reduce their impact on daily life. People who come to Linda for help can expect clear steps, homework when helpful, and advocacy when systems or services are involved. Her style is collaborative - she listens first, then helps set achievable goals and steady next steps.

Therapeutic approaches that translate to online care
Linda often uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), which helps people notice painful thoughts without getting stuck in them and then choose actions that match their values. ACT can help with stress, anxiety, and challenges that make daily routines harder.She also draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), a hands-on approach that identifies unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and replaces them with practical skills. CBT is useful for anxiety, depression, stress, and many parenting-related concerns.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Linda collaborates with each person to pick methods that match their goals and preferences. She listens to what matters most and adjusts techniques as progress is made.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to get support. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions are helpful when bandwidth is limited or when a shorter check-in fits a busy schedule. Live chat and text-based messaging let people share thoughts in writing, break work into smaller steps, or check in between longer sessions. These options help people fit therapy into parenting routines, work hours, and daily life.
