Linda Platt , LPC

Linda Platt is a licensed counselor in Arizona with eight and a half years of professional experience running a private practice. She has focused her work on helping people manage stress and anxiety, cope with addictions, navigate relationship challenges, and recover from trauma and abuse. Linda approaches each person with a strengths-based mindset, recognizing that clients are the experts on their own stories and that existing resources within a person can support meaningful change.

She emphasizes a respectful, collaborative stance in therapy, helping clients identify practical steps and new perspectives to address what feels overwhelming. Linda holds the LPC credential, which stands for Licensed Professional Counselor, and she draws on that training to offer compassionate, evidence-informed care. She also acknowledges that starting therapy requires courage and honors the decision people make to seek support, meeting clients where they are as they begin their work toward healing and growth.

Therapeutic approaches and online support

Linda Platt integrates several well-established approaches to tailor care to each person's needs. Attachment-Based Therapy explores how early relationship patterns shape current connections and can be useful for people dealing with abandonment, attachment issues, or recurring relationship pain. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathy, acceptance, and the client’s own expertise, supporting self-esteem, life transitions, and personal growth through a collaborative, nonjudgmental stance. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps clients identify and reframe unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, making it a practical option for anxiety, stress, depression, and patterns that sustain addictions.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Linda works collaboratively with clients to determine which methods fit their goals, needs, and preferences, adjusting the plan as progress unfolds. She aims to create a tailored path rather than applying a single technique from the start.

Online therapy formats - including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging - offer flexibility for scheduling, accessibility for clients in different locations, and the ability to maintain continuity of care during life changes. These options allow clients to engage in therapy in ways that fit their routines and comfort levels while working with licensed professionals and therapists who can guide the process.
