About Linda
Linda Skoug is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Wisconsin with 13 years of experience. She focuses on practical support for people facing stress, anxiety, depression, and relationship concerns. Her work also covers parenting and family-related struggles, with attention to grief, addiction, and life changes.
Sessions are conversational and goal oriented, aimed at making problems easier to manage day to day. She uses clear, evidence-informed methods and emphasizes understanding how early relationships shape current patterns.
Background and approach
That perspective helps when attachment worries, abandonment, or intimacy problems get in the way of close relationships. Cognitive techniques are used to spot and change unhelpful thoughts that keep stress and low mood cycling. Hypnotherapy is available as an adjunct tool to support behavior change and deepen relaxation when appropriate.
Linda frames it as an option rather than a standalone solution, and she discusses it with each person before use. The aim is to match the method to a person’s comfort level and goals. Therapy with her tends to be collaborative and straightforward.
She helps clients set small, achievable steps and tracks progress together. Conversations focus on what can change now, not only on past events. Clients can expect a down-to-earth approach and practical strategies for coping, whether they are dealing with parenting stress, mood challenges, or big life transitions.
Linda explains techniques in everyday language and checks in about how each step is working.
Therapeutic approaches to try online
Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationships influence current behavior and feelings. Online sessions use talking and reflection to identify patterns that affect trust, closeness, and parenting responses, which can help with attachment issues and intimacy worries.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, teaches practical skills to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. In remote sessions, clients learn short exercises and homework to manage anxiety, depression, and stress more effectively.
Linda may also offer hypnotherapy as a supplemental tool to support relaxation and behavior change. It is presented as an option to enhance other work, not as a replacement for talking therapies.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. She will discuss goals, preferences, and comfort with different methods and adjust the plan as needed. That collaborative process helps tailor sessions to what each person needs most.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These options provide flexibility for busy schedules and make it easier to keep consistent appointments. Remote work also lets people use techniques and exercises between sessions while staying connected to a licensed professional who reviews progress and modifies the plan over time.
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.
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.
