About Linda
Linda Hazel is a licensed marriage and family therapist with 35 years of experience in Tennessee. She focuses on helping people who are dealing with addictions, relationship strain, family conflict, trauma and abuse, and intimacy-related concerns. Linda emphasizes that each person knows their own story and brings strengths to the work of change.
Her sessions begin with listening and practical goal-setting. She helps clients name patterns that cause pain, then tries simple steps to shift those patterns. Conversations cover real-life problems like communication, codependency, commitment, and navigating separation or blended family challenges.
Linda uses a mix of approaches chosen to fit each person. She draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people connect with values and cope with difficult feelings. She also uses Attachment-Based and Emotionally-Focused ideas to look at how close relationships shape reactions and needs.
People seeking support for addiction, chronic illness, caregiving stress, body image, or control and intimacy issues may find her approach useful. Her work includes addressing the fallout from domestic violence, divorce, and other losses. She aims to work in a steady, respectful way that centers a client’s own goals.
Linda accepts clients in English and is open to international clients. To begin, prospective clients follow the site's Start Therapy flow and complete a brief matching questionnaire before scheduling.
How Linda’s approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying personal values and taking small committed actions even when feelings are hard. It can help with anxiety about money, addiction triggers, and decisions about relationships. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early and current relationship patterns shape reactions and closeness; it can be useful when trust, abandonment fears, or intimacy struggles are central concerns. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps people spot and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns, which can support progress in addiction recovery, communication, and coping with chronic stress.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and situation. That choice can shift over time as symptoms change or new priorities emerge.
The biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm available options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. It also lets people engage from locations that reduce background noise or use lower bandwidth when needed. Licensed professionals can adapt ACT, attachment-based, and CBT techniques to virtual settings so clients can practice skills and reflect on relationship patterns between sessions.
