About Linda

Linda Skoug is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Wisconsin with 13 years of clinical experience. She helps people who are coping with stress, anxiety, depression, relationship struggles, and major life changes. Linda focuses on practical steps people can take to feel steadier and more able to handle daily life.

She uses approaches that look at how relationships and early attachments shape current patterns. In sessions she helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviors that can ease symptoms. She also offers hypnotherapy as an additional tool for addressing certain issues when clients are interested.

Linda works with a broad set of concerns including grief, addictions, eating and food-related issues, parenting stress, and career challenges. She also supports people dealing with trauma, attachment difficulties, ADHD, and aging and geriatric issues. Her style is steady and practical, aiming to help people build coping skills that fit their routines.

Clients can expect a straightforward conversation about what feels most urgent and what small changes might help. Linda prioritizes clear goals and regular check-ins so progress is measurable. She describes therapy as a collaborative process where the person sets the pace.

Because she offers services in English and practices in Wisconsin, people considering work with her should confirm session options and scheduling before booking. The therapist uses a subscription model for sessions that can be canceled at any time.

How Linda's approaches translate to online care

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships influence current behavior and emotions. Online sessions using this approach often focus on noticing patterns in relationships and trying new ways of connecting that reduce distress.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions. In virtual sessions CBT includes identifying unhelpful thoughts and practicing new reactions or skills between visits to change daily routines and reduce symptoms.

Hypnotherapy is used as an adjunct tool to help people access focused attention and suggestion for issues like anxiety, habit change, or managing stress. When appropriate, it can be introduced alongside other approaches to support specific goals.

Finding the right approach is a shared process. The therapist will talk with each person about their needs, goals, and preferences and recommend methods to try. That collaborative exploration helps decide whether attachment work, CBT, hypnotherapy, or a mix feels most useful.

Confirm session formats before booking, as current options are not listed here. Many people find online sessions make it easier to fit therapy into a day, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. Online work can also make it simpler to maintain continuity during life transitions while focusing on practical skills and relationship patterns.
