Linda Oberle, LCSW, LMSW - Therapist in Texas

About Linda

Linda Oberle is a licensed clinical social worker who draws on practical therapies to help people navigate parenting challenges and family stress. She holds a Master's in Social Work and is licensed as LCSW and LMSW. Linda writes and listens in plain language and focuses on clear, doable steps rather than jargon.

Linda spent much of her career in child welfare beginning in 2000, and she brings six years of focused clinical experience to online practice.

Background and approach

That background means she is familiar with substance abuse, parenting problems, crisis intervention, and situations involving physical trauma or emotional abuse. Her style is attentive and interactive. She uses solution-focused work and helps clients shape treatment plans around their needs.

Clients steer the process while she offers advocacy, support, and practical techniques to reach their goals. Therapies Linda uses include cognitive behavioral ideas, mindfulness, acceptance-based strategies, and EMDR for trauma. She blends approaches to match what a person needs in the moment, emphasizing skills that can be tried between sessions.

Linda works from Texas and conducts sessions in English. She aims to help people reduce stress, manage anxiety or addiction concerns, process grief, and build healthier relationships and self-esteem. She welcomes questions and will help set a clear plan for moving forward.

Online care using practical, trauma-aware methods

Linda blends Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing to address difficult thoughts and memories. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice painful thoughts without getting stuck and then choose actions that match their values; it can be useful for anxiety, stress, and life changes. EMDR is used to process traumatic memories and reduce their emotional impact, which can help after abuse, accidents, or other intense events.

Finding the right way of working is part of the process. Linda will talk with clients about goals, history, and what feels most helpful. Together they choose or adapt methods so the work fits the person and their situation rather than following a fixed plan.

Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to give options for how people prefer to connect. These formats make it easier to schedule around parenting and work, and they let clients use different ways of communicating as their needs change. The focus remains on clear steps, homework to practice skills, and regular check-ins to track progress.

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.

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.
