About Linda
Linda Scaturro is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in New York with 25 years of experience. She works with stress, anxiety, depression, relationship struggles, codependency concerns, addictions, grief, and age-related issues.
Her sessions are conversational and down-to-earth. She listens actively and treats people with respect. The focus is on building practical life skills and using strengths people already have.
Linda uses a patient-centered approach that keeps the person’s goals central. She combines that with practical tools from cognitive behavioral therapy and mindfulness to help manage thoughts, mood, and daily routines. Motivational interviewing and solution-focused techniques help set realistic steps and keep progress moving forward.
In a typical meeting she will ask about what matters most right now, help clarify small goals, and offer strategies you can try between sessions. Work might include practicing boundary-setting language, identifying unhelpful thinking patterns, or breaking big problems into smaller actions.
She has a background in healthcare settings and experience supporting people through life transitions, caregiving stress, blended family issues, and recovery from substance-related problems. Linda also addresses intimacy-related concerns, panic symptoms, and struggles with shame or isolation.
Sessions are designed to be practical and focused on what helps in everyday life. To begin, clients follow the site flow to match and schedule a first appointment and complete an initial questionnaire.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy centers the person and what matters most in their life. It focuses on listening, reflecting, and helping people set goals they actually want to pursue. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) teaches concrete techniques to notice and change unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors, which can reduce anxiety and improve mood. Mindfulness Therapy offers simple practices to increase awareness of the present moment and reduce reactivity to stress or cravings.Deciding which approach to use is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to pick methods that fit their goals, pace, and preferences. That choice can change over time as needs shift and progress is made.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current online options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and avoid travel time. It can also let people use mindful practices or CBT exercises in the places where they live their daily life, helping skills transfer outside the session.
