About Linda

Linda Oberle is a licensed clinical social worker who focuses on addiction and trauma-related concerns. She holds a Master of Social Work and has spent many years working in child welfare and substance-abuse settings. Linda describes herself as attentive and interactive in sessions and aims to help people make practical changes in daily life.

Her background includes work with parenting challenges, crisis intervention, and cases involving physical trauma and emotional abuse. That experience informs how she supports people facing grief, stress, depression, or problems with relationships and self-esteem. She also addresses issues such as codependency, domestic violence, and workplace stress.

Linda uses a mix of approaches that match each person’s needs. She draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Client-Centered Therapy, EMDR, and mindfulness practices. Sessions emphasize clear goals, practical skills, and compassionate listening.

Her style is nonjudgmental and culturally respectful. She works collaboratively so people set the pace and direction of their care. Linda advocates for clients and helps them build the supports they need to reach concrete goals.

With six years of experience in clinical work as an LCSW and LMSW, Linda brings both hands-on practice and a focus on solution-oriented strategies. She works with people in Texas and conducts sessions in English. If you want a straightforward approach to addiction, trauma, or life transitions, she can help outline next steps and practical strategies.

How Linda Uses Evidence-Based Approaches Online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people identify their values and take manageable steps toward them. It’s useful for stress, anxiety, and making life changes when motivation feels low.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors. It is commonly used for anxiety, depression, and coping with cravings or triggers related to addiction.

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) can help process past traumatic memories that keep causing distress. It is often chosen by people who have post-traumatic stress or strong, recurring reactions to past events.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss options and help decide what fits best depending on goals and what feels comfortable. This is a collaborative process where techniques are adjusted as progress is made.

Confirm the available session formats before booking to be sure they match your needs. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. Licensed professionals can adapt ACT, CBT, and EMDR techniques for remote work so that practical tools and emotional processing continue between sessions.
