About Linda

Linda Culver is an Indiana-licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) with 20 years of experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, addictions, grief, and relationship concerns. She also works with issues around parenting, intimacy, sleep and eating, career strain, ADHD, and family-of-origin patterns. Linda draws on several practical approaches to help people get unstuck.

Linda’s style is down-to-earth and focused on practical change. She uses cognitive reframing and behavioral choices to address problems. She also emphasizes learning to notice and cope with strong feelings so they interfere less with daily life.

She has worked in hospitals, residential treatment centers, and outpatient settings. That range of experience means she is familiar with recovery settings and long-term health concerns. She has supported people across a broad age span, from adolescents to older adults, in those settings.

Linda has particular experience supporting people in 12 Step recovery who need help with outside issues that fit with recovery principles. She blends cognitive-behavioral methods with attention to emotions and motivation. Motivational interviewing is part of how she approaches change conversations when readiness varies.

In practical sessions she talks through choices and coping strategies, helps reframe thinking, and practices ways to tolerate difficult feelings. She encourages people to bring whatever questions they have. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session to see how the work will proceed.

How Linda’s approaches translate to online work

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and understanding the person’s perspective. In practice this means sessions spend time reflecting concerns and clarifying goals so people feel heard before moving to change work. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going. Online sessions can include talking through thought patterns, planning behavioral experiments, and reviewing homework between meetings. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) helps people recognize and work with strong feelings that shape relationships and personal responses. Finding the right approach is part of the process. Linda will collaborate with the person to decide which methods suit their needs, goals, and preferences. That may mean starting with reframing and behavior-focused work, then adding emotion-focused techniques or motivational interviewing as needed. Confirm the session formats before booking so you know how meetings will be scheduled. The practical benefits of remote work include fitting sessions into a weekday routine, shorter check-ins when time is limited, and avoiding travel time. Online conversations make it easier to bring notes or worksheets into a session and to practice skills between appointments. Discuss the preferred format when you schedule the first meeting so sessions fit into everyday life.
