About Linda

Linda Pollack is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Arizona with 25 years of experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, addiction, relationship struggles, trauma and abuse, depression, grief, codependency, and related concerns. Sessions are aimed at helping people who keep putting others first, struggle to set boundaries, or feel overwhelmed by someone else’s moods or crises.

Linda uses clear, practical methods in session. She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Mindfulness practices, and the Gottman Method to help people notice patterns and try new responses. Conversations focus on skills you can use between sessions, like setting limits, tracking triggers, and shifting unhelpful thoughts.

Her background includes individual and group work with adults and adolescents in areas such as life-management skills, relapse prevention, anger management, and career planning. This mix of group and one-on-one experience informs how she structures sessions and homework. The LPC credential indicates state-level professional standing in Arizona.

Linda emphasizes building a strong working relationship and helping clients recognize strengths they already have. Sessions often combine practical skill-building with mindfulness exercises and behavior-focused practice. She encourages straightforward goal setting and regular check-ins to see what’s working.

How sessions work

How therapeutic approaches translate to online sessions

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice thoughts and feelings without getting swept away by them and focus on actions that match their values. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches practical steps to shift unhelpful patterns. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers concrete skills for regulating emotions, tolerating distress, and improving interpersonal effectiveness.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose which methods to try first based on their goals and what feels workable in day-to-day life. Sessions can mix methods as needs change and progress is checked regularly.

The site biography does not list specific online formats here, so confirm current session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, or reduce travel time. It can also let someone use breathing and mindfulness exercises during a break, practice new communication skills between sessions, and track progress with written exercises or worksheets. Licensed professionals will discuss session length and format when you schedule to match the approach to practical needs and availability.
