About Lynda
Dr. Lynda Cokuslu is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Georgia with nine years of clinical experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, addictions, grief, relationship and family concerns, and issues such as ADHD and codependency. Sessions are conducted in English and she does not work with international clients.
In session she focuses on clear, practical steps people can use day to day. She listens for patterns that keep someone stuck - people-pleasing, trouble saying no, or getting lost in another person’s needs - and helps identify small changes to try. Conversations cover communication, setting boundaries, managing strong emotions, and coping strategies for sleep, eating, and career stress.
Her work draws on several evidence-based approaches including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and Emotionally-Focused Therapy. Techniques from these approaches are used to notice difficult thoughts, practice new behaviors, and strengthen emotional awareness.
Dr. Cokuslu also addresses life-stage and relational factors such as abandonment, attachment, adoption and foster care histories, caregiver strain, chronic illness, and transitions like divorce or aging. She helps people figure out what matters to them and which small steps match their values.
To begin, a short matching questionnaire is completed and a first session is scheduled. Costs vary by location and sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time. Confirm current session options before booking.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice painful thoughts and choose actions that match their values. Online ACT sessions often include short exercises to clarify values and plan small, doable actions for daily life. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and testing new behaviors. In remote sessions this often means setting simple practice tasks between meetings and reviewing what happened together. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) concentrates on recognizing and naming emotions in relationships and learning ways to respond differently. Applied remotely, EFT work may involve guided conversations and focused exercises to increase emotional awareness. Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals, needs, and comfort. That choice can shift over time as priorities and situations change. Confirm which session formats are currently offered before booking. Practical benefits of online sessions include fitting appointments into a busy day, shorter check-in meetings when time is limited, and options that reduce travel time. These practical elements can make it easier to keep regular sessions and to practice skills between meetings.Areas of focus
