Linda Richards , LPC

Linda Richards is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who helps people move past the patterns and blind spots that keep them stuck. She frames emotional and behavioral challenges as understandable responses to life events and trauma, and she focuses on practical ways to restore balance and function.

With experience working in the mental health field and a specific focus on trauma since 1997, she addresses how traumatic experiences can show up as anxiety, depression, chronic illness, pain, and a variety of other presentations that are often overlooked. Her approach honors the reality that everyone makes mistakes and experiences hurt, and she works to help people process emotions so they can engage more fully in relationships, school, work, and daily life.

Linda integrates somatic-based therapies with EMDR, Trauma Model Therapy, brain spotting, DBT, CBT, and Ego state therapies to tailor treatment to each person. She supports children and adults of all ages through these methods, helping them understand patterns, reduce distress, and develop coping skills to reach their potential.

As an LPC, Linda combines trauma-focused techniques with practical coaching and skill-building to address stress, anxiety, relationship and family concerns, depression, grief, addictions, ADHD, and many other issues. She encourages people not to let fear prevent growth, and she partners with them to make meaningful, sustainable change.

Attachment, EMDR, and Mindfulness in Online Therapy

Linda Richards uses Attachment-Based Therapy to explore how early relationships shape current emotional responses and interpersonal patterns; this approach helps people who struggle with trust, abandonment, or closeness to build more secure connections. She also incorporates Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) to help process distressing memories and reduce the intensity of trauma-related reactions, which can be useful for those experiencing trauma, anxiety, or intrusive memories. Mindfulness Therapy is woven into treatment to teach present-moment awareness and self-regulation skills that support emotional balance and coping with stress.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Linda works with each person to assess needs, goals, and preferences, and she adjusts methods as therapy unfolds so that the plan aligns with what feels most effective and manageable.

Online therapy offers flexibility for people balancing work, family, or mobility limits. Linda provides sessions by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging, allowing therapy to fit into varied schedules and daily routines while maintaining the therapeutic focus and support provided by licensed professionals and therapists.
