Linda Cousens , LCPC

Linda Cousens is a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) with 22 years of experience supporting people through change, loss, and relationship challenges. She combines a depth of clinical experience with practical tools to help clients move forward from overwhelming past and present experiences and toward goals that matter to them.

Her training includes a Master’s Degree in Counseling and a Certificate of Advanced Study, credentials that reflect advanced coursework and supervised clinical practice. As an LCPC she brings both formal education and years of hands-on work to each therapeutic relationship, selecting approaches that align with a client’s needs and preferences.

For more than a decade she has worked in private practice, partnering with individuals on a range of concerns such as stress, anxiety, trauma, relationship and intimacy issues, grief, self-esteem, addiction, career questions, and compassion fatigue. She uses evidence-informed methods to create a collaborative space where clients explore values, develop coping skills, and pursue meaningful change.

Linda frames therapy as a practical, goal-oriented process that can accelerate progress toward well-being and life satisfaction. She welcomes inquiries from prospective clients who are ready to begin that process.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Linda Cousens integrates Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Client-Centered Therapy to support clients in online care. ACT helps people clarify their values and take meaningful action even when difficult thoughts and emotions are present - it is often useful for anxiety, stress, and life transitions. CBT focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns to reduce symptoms and improve day-to-day functioning - it is commonly used for anxiety, depression, and coping skills development. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathy, active listening, and a nonjudgmental stance so clients feel heard and can lead the pace of change.

Finding the right combination of approaches is part of the therapeutic process. Linda works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods fit their goals, preferences, and circumstances, adjusting strategies over time as needs evolve.

Online therapy with licensed professionals offers flexibility in how care is delivered - through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging - making it easier to fit sessions into a busy life or access support from different locations. These options can increase convenience and consistent engagement, helping clients maintain progress between sessions.
