About Linda
Linda Comeau is a licensed marriage and family therapist with thirty years in the mental health field. She practices in Connecticut and brings a family-systems perspective to common struggles like anxiety, depression, grief, and parenting. Her style is warm and strength-focused, aimed at helping families and individuals practical steps forward.
She has worked across levels of care, including outpatient settings and inpatient psychiatric hospitalization. Before training as a therapist, she spent nearly two decades as a public school teacher.
Background and approach
That background informs her clear, practical way of talking about problems and solutions. Linda uses approaches grounded in cognitive behavioral methods and solution-focused ideas. She emphasizes self-care, practical communication skills, and healthy boundary setting.
In sessions she helps people set realistic expectations and try small changes that can restore balance. Her clinical interests include relationship challenges in many contexts, effective parenting in biological and blended families, emotional abuse and codependency, caregiving stress, and the impacts of medical or addiction issues on family members. She also supports people facing life transitions, career stress, intimacy concerns, and grief.
Education includes a Bachelor of Science in Education from the University of Connecticut, a Master of Science in Education from Central Connecticut State University, and a Master of Science in Counseling with a focus on Marital and Family Therapy from Central Connecticut State University. She holds Connecticut LMFT license CT LMFT 000715. She describes her work as collaborative and encouraging.
When someone is ready to make changes, she offers steady support and practical tools to help them move forward.
Therapeutic approaches and online care
Linda draws from cognitive behavioral therapy and attachment-based ideas to guide online work. Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches practical skills to reduce anxiety or depression. Attachment-based therapy focuses on patterns in close relationships and helps people build safer, more stable connections.Finding the right approach is part of the work. She will talk with clients about goals, preferences, and what feels most useful. Together they choose methods and try small steps, adjusting the plan as needed so therapy fits each family's situation.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, support caregiving families, and continue work through life changes. Licensed professionals can use the same therapeutic tools remotely, and sessions can focus on communication skills, parenting strategies, grief work, or coping plans depending on what the client needs.
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)
Less about arguing with difficult thoughts, more about loosening their grip and acting on what matters to you anyway. Values and committed action carry the work, which suits conversation at a distance.
Attachment-Based Therapy
Looks at how early bonds shaped what you expect from closeness, and how that plays out now with a partner, a parent, or your own children.
Client-Centered Therapy
The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.
