About Linda
Linda Yearout is a Licensed Clinical Marriage & Family Therapist (LCMFT) practicing in Kansas with 30 years of experience. She works with adults on stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, motivation, self-esteem, confidence, and depression. Her faith is important to her and informs how she shows up in her work.
Linda uses straightforward, conversational care that centers on each person’s story and strengths. She helps clients name what is getting in the way and pick small, practical steps to change day-to-day routines. Conversations focus on what a person wants to feel and do differently, and on strategies to move toward those goals.
Her background includes community mental health work and private practice settings. That variety has shaped her approach to common life stresses and relationship struggles. She draws on several therapeutic models to guide sessions, using tools that fit the problem at hand.
People who struggle with people-pleasing, trouble saying no, or living around someone else’s moods may find her helpful when they want clearer boundaries and more self-direction. She also supports those coping with caregiver strain, chronic illness, family of origin issues, and blended family challenges.
Sessions aim to be practical and respectful. Linda tends to listen first, then offer techniques and reflections that people can try between meetings. She sees therapy as a collaborative process, with the client’s goals guiding each step.
How sessions work
How her therapeutic approaches fit online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice painful thoughts and feelings without letting them drive behavior. It emphasizes choosing values and taking small actions that align with those values, which can help with anxiety, emptiness, and codependency patterns.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them with real-life experiments. It offers clear tools for managing anxiety, low mood, and persistent negative self-talk.
Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) centers on identifying emotional patterns in relationships and creating new ways to respond. It can be useful when communication problems, commitment worries, or family of origin issues affect current relationships.
Linda will work with clients to figure out which approach or combination fits best. This is a collaborative process using the client’s goals, preferences, and what comes up in early sessions to guide the choice.
Confirm current session options before booking, as formats are not specified here. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into workdays, reduce travel time, and allow a quieter check-in on busy days. Some people prefer shorter phone check-ins when bandwidth or camera use is difficult; others like video for face-to-face interaction. Discussing practical needs helps shape how sessions are scheduled and run.
