About Linda

Linda Scaturro is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in New York with 25 years of experience. She sees people for common struggles such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strain, parenting worries, and anger. She also supports those facing life changes, grief, addiction concerns, and caregiver stress.

Her style is conversational and down to earth. Sessions are interactive and focus on listening and practical problem solving. She emphasizes a strengths-based, client-centered way of working that helps people build skills they can use day to day.

Linda uses techniques drawn from cognitive behavioral approaches and mindfulness alongside motivational interviewing and solution-focused methods. That means sessions often look at thoughts and behaviors, practice skills for managing strong feelings, and set concrete goals to try between meetings.

She pays attention to aging and geriatric issues, blended family matters, and the stress that comes with caregiving. She also addresses concerns like codependency, communication problems, addiction, midlife questions, and panic attacks. Her background in healthcare informs a practical, grounded approach to these topics.

People who meet with her can expect collaborative planning and straightforward steps to manage problems. She encourages building or widening a support network and setting achievable goals. The focus is on small, usable changes that help with everyday functioning and relationships.

How her approaches translate to online sessions

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting so people can talk through what matters. It helps when someone wants respect, practical feedback, and time to find their own solutions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts and actions affect mood and behavior. CBT offers concrete strategies for managing anger, stress, and anxiety by practicing different ways of thinking and acting.

Finding the right approach is collaborative. Linda will help identify which methods fit a person's goals and preferences. She works with clients to set small, realistic steps and adjusts techniques as those goals evolve.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, such as shorter check-ins during a work break, talking without needing travel time, or using video when visual cues are helpful. Therapists and licensed professionals can adapt exercises and homework for use between sessions so progress continues outside meeting times.
