About Linda
Linda Hazel is an LMFT licensed in Tennessee with 35 years of clinical experience. She works with adults who are coping with addictions, relationship strain, family conflict, trauma and abuse, and intimacy-related issues. Linda also addresses problems such as abandonment, attachment concerns, blended family dynamics, and caregiver stress.
Her approach treats the person rather than a label. She listens for what is important to each individual and builds on existing strengths. Sessions focus on clear concerns like communication problems, commitment doubts, substance use, or the fallout from separation and divorce.
Linda draws on several practical methods. She uses techniques from cognitive behavioral work to identify patterns that keep people stuck. She also uses emotionally focused ideas to help people notice and talk about strong feelings. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy is part of how she helps people shift focus toward meaningful actions.
In session she keeps language direct and concrete. There is time to name what feels wrong and then try small, manageable steps to change it. People who want a pragmatic, steady process to sort through family and relationship stress tend to find this helpful.
Her long experience includes work with domestic violence, chronic illness and addiction concerns. She accepts international clients and conducts work in English. To begin, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule an initial meeting.
How sessions work
Therapeutic approaches used in online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, often called ACT, helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting pushed around by them. It focuses on identifying personal values and taking small actions that align with those values, which can help with addiction, avoidance, and life transitions.Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current patterns. It can help people who struggle with trust, abandonment fears, or repeated relational conflicts to understand their reactions and try different ways of relating.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what feels most useful. That collaborative process guides which methods are emphasized in sessions rather than relying on a single fixed plan.
Session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm the available options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. They can also let someone keep appointments while traveling or when managing caregiving or health demands. Licensed professionals adapt the methods above to work in the online space and help people apply changes in everyday life.
