About Linda
Linda Oberle is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) and a Licensed Master Social Worker (LMSW) with six years of clinical experience based in Texas. She focuses on addictions, trauma and abuse, parenting concerns, stress and anxiety, and relationship and family difficulties. Linda also supports people facing grief, low self-esteem, depression, and major life changes.
Her background includes long experience in child welfare and work with substance abuse and crisis situations. That history means she has spent a lot of time helping people who have experienced physical trauma or emotional abuse. She also brings experience with adoption and foster care, domestic violence, codependency, and post-traumatic stress.
In sessions she uses practical, problem-focused work alongside evidence-informed approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, EMDR, and mindfulness practices. She aims to keep treatment plans guided by the client’s goals rather than a preset agenda. Sessions typically focus on concrete steps and coping strategies.
Linda describes her style as attentive and interactive. She listens without judgment and respects different cultural backgrounds. She works collaboratively with each person to set goals and identify strategies that fit daily life.
People often seek her help for parenting stress, substance concerns, or recovering from past trauma. She can also assist with workplace stress, feelings of isolation, guilt, and issues around forgiveness. Prospective clients should confirm session formats before booking.
How sessions work
How her therapeutic approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and take small, values-based steps even when feelings are difficult. It is often used for anxiety, stress, and navigating life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing practical behavior changes. It is commonly used for anxiety, depression, and coping strategies. EMDR involves structured processing of distressing memories and is used for post-traumatic stress and trauma symptoms.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Linda will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and comfort level. That choice can change over time as needs evolve, and she aims to adapt plans based on what is helping in weekly sessions.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when that fits the schedule. It can also allow for different ways to practice skills between meetings, such as mindfulness exercises or worksheet-based CBT tasks. Licensed professionals commonly use these methods to keep sessions focused and practical while helping people manage parenting stress, trauma recovery, cravings, and workplace strain.
