About Linda
Linda Oberle is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) and also holds an LMSW. She has six years of clinical experience and practices in Texas. She works with people facing addictions, trauma and abuse, parenting stresses, anxiety, depression, grief, relationship strain, and problems with self-esteem and coping with life changes.
She spent many years in child welfare earlier in her career, and that work shaped how she approaches crisis, substance use, and parenting concerns. Linda uses straightforward, solution-focused ideas in sessions and draws on tools from acceptance and commitment work, cognitive behavioral strategies, and mindfulness to help people manage overwhelming thoughts and feelings.
Sessions are interactive and practical. She listens without judgment and encourages clients to set clear goals. Treatment plans are shaped by what the client needs and wants to work on, and progress is tracked against those goals.
Linda also brings experience with adoption and foster care issues, codependency, domestic violence, drug and alcohol addiction, post-traumatic stress, and workplace problems. She uses EMDR when addressing trauma-related memories and combines that with skills-based approaches when helpful.
In meetings she focuses on building skills for setting boundaries, reducing people-pleasing patterns, and responding differently to stress. She can help people talk through parenting struggles and work toward clearer communication with others. Practical steps and short-term strategies are part of the plan while also addressing deeper trauma when needed.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice painful thoughts without getting stuck in them and choose actions that match their values. ACT can help with anxiety, avoidance, and patterns of people-pleasing. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and uses practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns. CBT is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress management. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) focuses on processing traumatic memories so they feel less overwhelming; it can be helpful for post-traumatic stress and trauma-related symptoms.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with the client about symptoms, goals, and preferences and recommend which methods to try. Decisions about using ACT, CBT, EMDR, mindfulness, or a mix are collaborative and can change as progress is made.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, shorten commute time, or allow shorter check-in meetings when days are tight. They also allow continuing work on skills and trauma processing when coming to an office is difficult. If you plan to use online sessions, ask which formats are offered and how they structure EMDR or skills work over the chosen format.
