Linda Oberle, LCSW, LMSW

Linda Oberle is a licensed clinical social worker who focuses on helping people move past trauma, addiction, and parenting stresses. She brings a practical, down-to-earth style to sessions and centers care on each person's needs. Linda holds a Master of Social Work and carries both LCSW and LMSW credentials.

Her background includes many years in child welfare beginning in 2000, and she earned her MSW in 2011. That work exposed her to substance abuse, parenting challenges, crisis situations, and both physical trauma and emotional abuse commonly seen in child welfare cases. She draws on that experience when helping people manage complicated histories and present-day stressors.

Linda uses a mix of approaches to match the person in front of her, including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, cognitive behavioral techniques, mindfulness practices, client-centered ways of working, and EMDR. She favors solution-focused work and builds treatment plans around what the person wants to change. Sessions aim for practical steps that fit daily life.

In the room she is interactive and attentive. She emphasizes respect and a non-judgmental stance toward different cultures and life stories. Her role is to advocate and support while keeping the person in charge of goals and pace.

People often come for help with anxiety, depression, grief, relationship and family difficulties, addiction, codependency, and post-traumatic stress. Linda focuses on clear goals, steady support, and helping people regain a sense of control and forward motion.

How Linda Uses Therapy Approaches Online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then take steps that align with what matters most. It can be useful for anxiety, stress, and life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and offers practical tools to change unhelpful patterns that fuel depression or anxiety.

EMDR addresses memories and reactions tied to past traumatic events through a structured process that aims to reduce distress linked to those memories. It is often chosen by people who are processing post-traumatic stress and lingering effects of abuse.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with the person about goals, past experiences, and preferences, and then recommend strategies or combine approaches. That decision is collaborative and can change as progress is made.

If you plan to do online sessions, confirm the session formats available before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. Therapists can adapt ACT, CBT, and EMDR techniques to a virtual setting and tailor exercises and homework to daily life.
