About Linda
Linda Skoug is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Wisconsin with 13 years of clinical experience. She helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, relationship struggles, trauma and abuse, and issues around intimacy and self-esteem. Linda also works with concerns such as addictions, grief, eating-related issues, parenting strain, anger, career stress, bipolar mood concerns, and ADHD.
Her work focuses on what happens between people and how early bonds shape current patterns. She uses Attachment-Based ideas to look at how past relationships affect present reactions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) appears in sessions to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors. Hypnotherapy is also part of her toolkit for clients who are open to that method.
Sessions are direct and practical. She helps people name the patterns that keep them putting others first. Conversations cover setting boundaries, managing intense emotions, and making clearer choices about relationships. Linda pays attention to how trauma and attachment wounds show up in everyday life.
She works with adults across many life stages who want to change long-standing habits. People who struggle with codependent behaviors - such as chronic people-pleasing or losing themselves in relationships - may find the focus helpful. Linda encourages steady, doable steps rather than quick fixes.
Her practice is grounded in work that links feeling states to behavior. She combines conversation, thought-focused exercises, and hypnotherapy when appropriate. Sessions aim to increase skills for handling stress, improving relationships, and building more reliable self-direction.
How sessions work
How her approaches guide online work
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current reactions. It helps people recognize patterns of clinging, avoidance, or people-pleasing and how those patterns affect present relationships.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It uses clear exercises to challenge unhelpful thinking and build new, more effective behaviors for stress, anxiety, and mood concerns.
Hypnotherapy is offered as a complementary method for clients who are open to it. It can be used to support behavior change, reduce reactivity, and strengthen focus on specific goals.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to decide which combination of methods fits their needs, goals, and comfort level. That decision can change over time as goals evolve.
