Linda Wilcox, LCSW, CSW

Linda Wilcox is a licensed clinical social worker who helps people facing anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, and stress. She works with adults and adolescents and offers support in both English and Spanish. Linda emphasizes hope and practical steps toward feeling better.

She begins by building a trusting therapeutic relationship. Sessions are collaborative and focused on the client’s goals. Linda uses plain language and a warm, direct approach to help people make real changes in daily life.

Her work blends several evidence-informed methods. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps identify unhelpful thinking and change behavior. Mindfulness techniques are used to increase present-moment awareness and reduce emotional overwhelm. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) supports people in clarifying values and taking committed action.

Linda also draws on client-centered and dialectical skills to validate feelings while teaching coping tools. She has six years of clinical experience as a social worker and holds LCSW and CSW credentials. Her background includes helping people navigate caregiving stress, aging and geriatric issues, hospice and end-of-life concerns, and immigration-related stress.

Practical matters are part of the work. Linda helps people develop coping skills for anger, low self-esteem, relationship strain, and life transitions. She aims to increase hope, build resilience, and support clearer choices around daily routines and relationships.

How her approaches translate to online therapy

Linda commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in her work. ACT focuses on clarifying what matters to a person and taking small, values-based steps even when feelings are difficult. CBT looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches concrete strategies to change unhelpful patterns.

She also integrates client-centered and mindfulness elements to keep sessions grounded in the client’s experience. Mindfulness practices can help reduce overwhelm and improve attention to the present moment. The therapist will work with clients to choose approaches that fit their needs and preferences in a collaborative way.

Confirm the available session formats before booking, as the biography does not list specific online options. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life - for example, shorter check-ins during a work break or meetings that avoid travel time. It can also allow sessions without video when bandwidth is limited. The therapist will discuss which format and pacing suit each person's schedule and goals during the initial matching and scheduling process.
