About Linda

Linda Richards specializes in guiding people past the patterns and blind spots that keep them feeling stuck. She frames many struggles - from anxiety and depression to chronic pain and other health-related symptoms - as frequently rooted in trauma, and she focuses on helping clients understand how past experiences shape present thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. Her work emphasizes translating difficult emotions into manageable responses so clients can restore their balance and functioning.

Richards draws on a range of trauma-informed and body-centered techniques, including somatic-based therapies, EMDR, Trauma Model therapy, brain spotting, DBT, CBT, and ego state therapies to meet each person where they are. She works with children and adults across the lifespan, addressing how trauma can influence performance at school, in relationships, at work, and in everyday life. Her approach acknowledges human imperfection and the impact of neglect or loss while offering practical pathways toward change.

Linda holds an LPC (Licensed Professional Counselor), which reflects formal training to provide therapeutic care. She encourages people not to let fear prevent them from pursuing greater emotional freedom and fuller functioning, and she collaborates with clients to identify the most useful tools for their recovery.

Applying EMDR, Attachment Work, and Mindfulness Online

Attachment-Based Therapy explores how early relationships shape current patterns of relating and emotional safety. It helps people who struggle with abandonment, intimacy, or family-of-origin issues by identifying relational themes and learning new ways to connect. EMDR - Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing - is a trauma-focused method that helps process distressing memories and reduce their emotional intensity through guided bilateral stimulation and structured processing; it is often used for trauma, intrusive memories, and related symptoms. Mindfulness Therapy teaches present-moment awareness and simple grounding practices to improve emotional regulation, reduce reactivity, and support coping with anxiety, stress, and persistent mood challenges.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey, and the therapist will collaborate with each person to determine which methods best fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That collaborative process helps tailor interventions, mix techniques when helpful, and adjust the plan over time.

Online therapy with a licensed professional through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging offers flexibility for busy schedules, easier access for those in remote areas, and the ability to maintain continuity of care when in-person visits are difficult. These options make it possible to engage in meaningful therapeutic work from environments that feel comfortable and practical for the client.
