About Linda

Linda Schmidt is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in New Jersey with nine years of professional experience. She has focused much of her career supporting people who are coping with alcohol and substance use concerns and the stress, anxiety, and motivation challenges that can accompany recovery and life transitions.

Linda approaches each person as the expert of their own story, looking for strengths and resources that can be mobilized to respond to current struggles. She has worked with individuals facing issues related to self-esteem, confidence, and career difficulties, helping them identify practical steps and build momentum toward meaningful change.

Seeking a more fulfilling and happier life often requires courage, and Linda emphasizes support and empowerment as central to her work. She aims to create an environment where clients can explore their goals, practice new skills, and move forward at a pace that feels right for them.

Approach-Focused Care Delivered Online

Linda integrates evidence-informed approaches into her online practice to meet a range of needs. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify their values, accept difficult thoughts and feelings, and commit to actions that move them toward the life they want; it is often useful for stress, anxiety, and motivation challenges. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on understanding how early relationships shape current patterns in relationships and emotional responses, offering a pathway to improve connection and address abandonment or attachment concerns. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) provides practical tools to identify and shift unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns, which can support progress with anxiety, depression, and habit-related issues like substance use.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Linda works with clients to explore which methods feel most relevant to their goals and adapts the work over time so it fits individual needs and preferences.

Online therapy offers flexibility to receive care through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, maintain continuity during transitions, and access support from wherever a client is located within the same region served by licensed professionals and therapists.
