Linda Richards , LPC

Linda Richards is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who helps people move past the patterns and stuck points that limit their lives. She frames common struggles like anxiety, depression, chronic pain, relationship conflict, and addictive behaviors as often rooted in trauma or early attachment wounds, and she supports clients in identifying how those hidden influences shape thoughts, emotions, and actions.

With extensive experience in trauma work, Linda uses an integrative, somatic-informed approach that can include EMDR, trauma model therapy, brainspotting, DBT, CBT, ego-state therapies, and other body-centered techniques. She works with children and adults across the lifespan and draws on these methods to help clients process difficult memories, reduce reactivity, and rebuild a clearer sense of equilibrium.

Linda emphasizes that trauma and neglect are human experiences that affect performance, relationships, and self-perception. Her practice focuses on helping clients metabolize emotion, challenge unhelpful patterns, and reclaim healthier ways of relating to themselves and others. She encourages people not to let fear stand in the way of growth and offers practical, evidence-informed tools to support lasting change.

Trauma-informed approaches for online care

Linda Richards integrates Attachment-Based Therapy, EMDR, and Mindfulness Therapy into her work so clients can address the roots of distress and build practical coping skills. Attachment-Based Therapy explores early relational patterns and how they influence current relationships and emotional safety, helping with issues like abandonment, trust, and intimacy. EMDR - Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing - is a trauma-focused approach that supports the brain in processing distressing memories and reducing their emotional charge, which can ease symptoms of trauma and related anxiety. Mindfulness Therapy teaches present-moment awareness and gentle acceptance of emotion, providing tools for stress reduction, emotional regulation, and improved focus.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Linda works collaboratively with clients to identify which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. She tailors interventions over time and adapts techniques to match each person's pace.

Online sessions via video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging make therapy more flexible and easier to fit into daily life. These options let clients connect from home or other convenient settings, maintain continuity during life transitions, and access consistent support from licensed professionals and therapists without sacrificing regularity of care.
