About Linda
Linda Flynn is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) in Kentucky with 15 years of clinical experience. She works with people dealing with addictions, depression, trauma and relationship problems, and anger. Her practice focuses on helping clients rebuild trust in themselves and find steadier emotional ground after difficult relationships or long-term stress.
She draws on attachment-based ideas to look at how past relationships shape current responses. That helps when someone struggles with gaslighting, emotional manipulation, or control in a relationship. She uses client-centered conversations so people can name what matters to them and make choices that fit their life.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is part of her approach for practical changes in thinking and behavior. That can be helpful for mood problems, anxiety, and anger that shows up at work or home. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills are used to build emotion regulation and distress tolerance when feelings escalate.
Her work with addiction focuses on the emotional wounds beneath substance use. She helps people identify triggers, develop coping skills, and strengthen a sense of self beyond the addiction. For those recovering from abuse, therapy emphasizes understanding patterns and creating safer reactions in relationships.
Sessions are collaborative and goal-focused. The therapist and client look at specific difficulties, try strategies in-session, and adjust the plan as problems change. This practical stance aims to reduce reactivity, improve communication, and support more steady daily functioning.
How her approaches translate to online work
Linda Flynn uses attachment-based work to examine how early and recent relationships shape reactions today. That approach helps when anger or mistrust comes from patterns learned with caregivers or partners. Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and reflecting so clients can name what matters and set personal goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) adds practical exercises to change thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going.Finding the right approach is part of the work. She will collaborate with clients to decide which methods fit best for their needs, goals, and preferences. That means trying strategies, checking what helps, and shifting direction if needed.
Confirm the current session options before booking so you know which formats are offered. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, shorten check-ins, or avoid travel time. They also allow using CBT homework between meetings and practicing DBT skills in real time during sessions to test what works in daily life.
