About Linda

Linda Moyer is a licensed social worker in New York who focuses on common pressures people face. She helps with stress and anxiety, grief and loss, parenting concerns, motivation, and building self-esteem. Her approach is warm and respectful, and she adapts conversations to what each person needs.

Linda encourages small first steps and values the courage it takes to start therapy. With 25 years of experience as an LCSW-R (Licensed Clinical Social Worker - Registered), she draws on several practical methods.

Background and approach

Sessions often include client-centered listening to understand what matters most. She also uses cognitive behavioral techniques to spot and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. Mindfulness practices can be introduced to reduce tension and improve focus.

Emotionally-Focused Therapy ideas are available for people who want to better understand their emotional patterns. Linda also brings elements of Jungian work when exploring deeper symbols or life meaning fits a client’s goals. She combines these tools rather than relying on one fixed method.

Conversations are straightforward and focused on real-life problems. Linda pays attention to cultural context and factors like caregiver stress, chronic illness, or work burnout when they matter. She aims to build practical skills alongside clearer self-understanding.

Therapy sessions are offered in English and delivered online by video, phone, live chat, or text messaging. Fees vary by location and therapist availability and use a cancel-anytime subscription model.

Approaches and online options that fit your life

Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and responding to what matters most to the client. It creates space for people to describe their priorities and for the therapist to follow their lead. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches practical skills to change patterns that cause distress. Emotionally-Focused Therapy helps people notice, name, and work with strong emotions so they can shift difficult patterns in relationships or personal habits.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Linda will discuss what you want to accomplish, try methods that fit your goals, and adjust the plan as you go. The process is collaborative, with choices made based on your needs and what feels useful in real life.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect. Video calls let you have face-to-face conversations from home. Phone sessions are useful when video isn’t possible. Live chat and text-based messaging can support brief check-ins or ongoing reflection between longer sessions. These formats help bring therapy into busy schedules and different daily rhythms.

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.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.

Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT)

Attends to the emotions underneath a recurring argument or distance, and to the attachment needs driving them. Often used where a relationship keeps returning to the same painful loop.
