About Linda

Linda Goldsmith is a seasoned mental health professional with 25 years of experience helping people manage complex emotional and life challenges. Based in Florida and licensed as an LMHC and an LCPC - which mean she is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor and a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor - she focuses on practical, strengths-based work that supports recovery from depression, anxiety, trauma, addictions, and relationship difficulties. She blends evidence-informed strategies with a compassionate, client-centered stance to meet each person's unique needs.

Her practice emphasizes healing from past experiences while building resilience and more effective coping skills for everyday life. Linda draws on cognitive behavioral techniques and skills-oriented therapies to address mood disorders, grief, parenting and family issues, intimacy and communication problems, ADHD, compassion fatigue, and adjustments to life transitions. She aims to create an empathic space where clients can explore feelings, identify patterns, and develop tools for long-term well-being. Throughout her work she partners with clients to set realistic goals and cultivate greater self-understanding and personal growth.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support

Linda integrates client-centered therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) into her online practice. Client-centered therapy focuses on creating a respectful, empathic space where the person’s goals guide the work and emotional insight supports change - it is helpful for relationship struggles, self-esteem, and life transitions. CBT is a structured approach that helps identify and change unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors, making it useful for anxiety, depression, and coping with difficult emotions.

She also draws on dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) skills to teach practical techniques for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness, which can benefit people dealing with intense emotions, mood instability, or impulse-related concerns. Linda approaches treatment collaboratively, exploring options with each person to determine which strategies best fit their needs, goals, and preferences, and adjusting the plan over time.

Online therapy with Linda is offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility and easier access to care. These formats make it possible to maintain continuity during busy schedules, life transitions, or when in-person visits are not feasible, while allowing therapists and licensed professionals to deliver consistent, goal-focused treatment.
