About Linda

Linda Orlando offers straightforward, strengths-focused therapy grounded in practical methods. She is a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor, LCPC, practicing in Maine. Linda speaks plainly and helps people tackle stress, anxiety, and depression.

She also addresses relationship difficulties, career questions, parenting concerns, sleep problems, grief, and ADHD-related challenges. Sessions start with what matters most to the person in front of her. Linda listens closely and helps clients decide on small, doable steps.

Background and approach

She draws on approaches like cognitive behavioral work, acceptance-based tools, and narrative techniques to shape each visit. That means clients practice new ways of noticing thoughts, testing unhelpful patterns, and picking actions that match their values. Linda has nine years of experience working with a mix of life concerns.

She also brings skill in areas such as aging and geriatric issues, autism and Asperger syndrome, chronic pain and illness, body image, and women's issues. Her background includes helping people with family problems, infidelity, and non-monogamous relationship questions. Therapy can feel uncertain at first.

Linda focuses on clear goals and practical skills so progress is measurable. She believes people bring resources and resilience to the work, and she supports them in building on those strengths. Linda offers sessions in English and provides several remote formats.

To begin, a short matching questionnaire helps guide the first steps and scheduling.

Therapeutic approaches and online care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, focuses on helping people notice thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them. It helps when anxiety, low mood, or life transitions make it hard to act on what matters. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, CBT, looks at patterns of thinking and behavior and teaches simple skills to test thoughts and change routines that increase stress. Client-Centered Therapy centers on building a respectful, nonjudgmental relationship so people can clarify values and make choices that feel right.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Linda collaborates with each person to choose which methods fit their goals and preferences. She checks in regularly and adjusts the plan based on what is helping and what is not.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet. Video calls can approximate face-to-face sessions, while phone, live chat, or text-based messaging suit busy schedules or quieter check-ins. These options make it easier to practice skills between sessions and to keep therapy consistent when life gets busy.

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.
