About Linda
Linda Kenny is a LICSW - Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker practicing in Massachusetts with 34 years of experience. She works with adults who are managing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, low self-esteem, and major life changes. Her practical focus includes codependency, attachment concerns, caregiver stress, chronic illness, and issues around separation and commitment.
She treats people as the experts on their own lives and helps them draw on their strengths. Sessions are straightforward and goal-oriented. Linda listens to the specific problems someone brings and helps them find clearer choices and manageable steps forward.
Her background blends long clinical practice with attention to everyday results. She often helps people notice patterns of people-pleasing, avoidant behavior, or over-responsibility that leave them exhausted. Then she works with them on practical skills for saying no, setting limits, and protecting their time and energy.
Linda uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to guide sessions toward measurable change. She pays attention to how past attachment and abandonment concerns shape current relationships. She also supports people facing illness, caregiving burdens, or life transitions to prioritize needs and plan reasonable next steps.
People who choose to work with her typically get clear priorities to practice between sessions. The work is collaborative and focused on creating better day-to-day coping. To start, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.
How sessions work
How evidence-based work translates to online sessions
Linda draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on changing unhelpful patterns and building practical coping skills. One common approach she uses targets attachment and relationship patterns by helping people recognize how past connections influence current behavior and relationships. This method helps with issues like codependency, difficulty saying no, and repeated relationship cycles.Another approach emphasizes behavioral skill-building and problem-solving. It focuses on concrete steps - practicing boundary setting, communication strategies, or short experiments to test new ways of behaving. That kind of work helps with anxiety, stress management, and managing daily demands such as caregiving or illness-related strain.
Finding the right approach is part of the work and she treats it as a collaborative process. She will help you identify which methods fit your needs, goals, and preferences, and adjust techniques as you go. The aim is practical progress rather than labels or quick fixes.
