About LinTiya
LinTiya McCleary is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) and licensed clinical mental health counselor (LCMHC) with five years of clinical experience. She focuses on helping people navigate stress, anxiety, relationship and family concerns, low self-esteem, and depression. LinTiya emphasizes respect, sensitivity, and compassion in every session. She tailors conversations and plans to each person's needs and goals.
Her approach mixes practical strategies with reflective conversation. She draws on cognitive behavioral therapy to identify unhelpful thought patterns and introduce small behavior changes. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people clarify values and take actions that matter to them. Mindfulness techniques are used to calm racing thoughts and bring attention back to the present.
LinTiya also uses client-centered therapy to keep sessions focused on what the person wants to work on. Motivational interviewing supports those who feel stuck or uncertain about change. Together these methods address concerns like communication problems, attachment issues, and guilt or shame.
She has worked with people facing divorce and separation, isolation and loneliness, life purpose questions, and money and financial issues. Sessions aim to build practical skills and clearer thinking rather than just talking about problems. LinTiya encourages steady progress and realistic next steps.

How her approaches guide online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people get clear on what matters to them and take small, value-driven steps. It often focuses on accepting difficult feelings while committing to meaningful actions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns. Client-Centered Therapy centers the conversation on the person’s goals and pace, with the therapist offering empathy and reflective listening.Choosing the right approach is a joint process. The therapist will talk with each person about their needs, goals, and preferences and then try methods that fit. Together they track what helps and adjust the plan over time so sessions stay useful and relevant.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm available options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, for example by reducing travel time or allowing a shorter check-in during a break. Some formats also let people use video tools for visual connection or phone calls when bandwidth is limited. Licensed professionals can adapt techniques like mindfulness exercises, CBT worksheets, and values-based planning to remote sessions so work continues between visits.
