About Linda
Linda Banks is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with eight years of experience. She helps people manage stress, anxiety, parenting concerns, anger, self-esteem, and career pressure. She also works with those coping with money and financial issues and related life challenges.
Her style is warm and collaborative. She aims to listen first, then help people find practical steps that fit their life. Sessions focus on real problems and clear goals rather than labels or long lectures.
Linda has worked in community-based settings with people from diverse backgrounds. She brings experience supporting those who have faced emotional abuse, trauma, and major life changes. That background informs a careful, respectful approach when difficult topics come up.
Her practice uses a mix of evidence-based therapeutic techniques drawn from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, humanistic ideas, psychodynamic thinking, and Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy. She adapts methods to each person’s needs and strengths instead of using a one-size-fits-all plan.
Clients can expect a straightforward, empathetic conversation about what matters to them. Linda focuses on helping people build skills, clarify priorities, and make changes that feel doable. She encourages steps that align with each person's goals and daily life.
How therapeutic approaches shape online work
Linda uses approaches drawn from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and humanistic therapy alongside psychodynamic ideas and Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thought patterns and testing new behaviors, which can help with anxiety, mood, and stress related to finances. Humanistic work centers on listening and supporting a person’s values and goals to build self-esteem and clearer decision-making.Choosing the best approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what has helped or not helped in the past. This collaborative process helps tailor methods that fit a person’s situation and pace.
