About Linda

Linda Goldsmith, LMHC and LCPC, is a licensed therapist practicing from Florida with 25 years of clinical experience. She brings a compassionate, holistic approach to therapy, helping people navigate anxiety, depression, addictions, relationship struggles, trauma and abuse, grief, family concerns, intimacy issues, sleep difficulties, parenting challenges, anger, self-esteem, career transitions, bipolar disorder, ADHD, and other life changes. Her work emphasizes healing from past experiences while building resilience, emotional insight, and practical coping skills.

Drawing on client-centered principles alongside evidence-based methods such as cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy, she tailors care to each person’s needs. She also integrates relationship-focused models including the Gottman Method and Imago Relationship Therapy when appropriate to address couple and family dynamics. Linda aims to create a respectful, empathetic environment in which clients can explore emotions, develop healthier patterns, and strengthen their capacity for meaningful change.

With a background in treating both acute and long-standing concerns, she supports individuals facing addiction, mood disorders, trauma, caregiving stress, chronic illness, and the complexities of major life transitions. Her practice combines professional training and a steady, supportive presence to guide people toward clearer self-understanding and more effective ways of coping.

Approaches and Online Care for Lasting Change

Linda Goldsmith often combines client-centered therapy with cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) when working with clients online. Client-centered therapy focuses on creating a supportive, nonjudgmental space where the person’s own goals and experiences guide the work and it is useful for building self-awareness and emotional processing. CBT helps identify and change unhelpful thought and behavior patterns and is commonly used for anxiety, depression, and coping with life changes. DBT teaches practical skills for emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness, which can be especially helpful for intense emotions and relationship difficulties.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Linda works with each person to identify priorities, assess what strategies resonate, and adjust methods over time so the plan fits the client’s needs, goals, and preferences. This shared decision-making helps ensure therapy stays focused and relevant.

Online sessions via video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging provide flexibility and make it easier to fit therapy into daily life. These options allow clients to connect with licensed professionals and therapists from home or another convenient location, maintain continuity during life transitions, and choose the format that best supports their comfort and communication style.
