Linda Levinson , LPCC

Linda Levinson is a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC) based in Ohio who brings ten years of experience working with individuals facing addiction, trauma, stress, anxiety, depression, and relationship challenges. After earning a dual degree in mental health and substance abuse treatment, she began her career supporting people recovering from opioid misuse and co-occurring disorders, developing focused skills in both substance-related and process addictions such as shopping, video gaming, internet use, exercise, gambling, and sex and love addictions.

She has extensive experience with LGBTQIA clients and values diversity in identity and experience. She supports people navigating sexual identity questions, sexual trauma, grief, dysfunction, and the complexities that can arise in open or non-monogamous relationships. Her practice emphasizes acceptance and empowerment as the foundation for therapeutic work, helping people explore identity, connection, and healing in ways that honor their values.

Using a flexible blend of clinical approaches, Linda helps people identify what is holding them back and how past experiences can reveal strengths to build the life they want. She tailors interventions to individual needs, drawing on evidence-informed methods to address issues such as stress, parenting challenges, intimacy concerns, career transitions, and coping with life changes.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care with Linda Levinson

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people clarify their values and take meaningful action even in the presence of difficult thoughts or feelings. It is useful for stress, anxiety, addiction recovery, and life transitions by encouraging commitment to valued directions rather than avoidance of discomfort.

Client-Centered Therapy places the person at the center of the work, offering empathetic listening and support so individuals can explore their feelings and make choices that reflect their authentic selves. This approach can be especially helpful for issues around identity, relationships, and self-esteem.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps people identify and adjust unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns that contribute to depression, anxiety, and many everyday challenges. It offers practical tools for coping, problem solving, and building new habits.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process and Linda works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods best fit their needs, goals, and preferences. She adapts techniques over time based on what proves most helpful.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, offering flexibility for scheduling and continuity of care. These formats make it easier to access licensed professionals from different locations and to integrate therapy into a busy life, supporting ongoing progress without sacrificing convenience.
