About Linda
Linda Scaturro is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in New York with 25 years of experience. She helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strain, parenting concerns, grief, and addiction-related problems. Her background also includes work with aging and geriatric issues, caregiver stress, blended family concerns, and midlife transitions.
Her approach is conversational and down to earth. Sessions are interactive and focused on active listening. She uses a strengths-based, client-centered stance that emphasizes practical skills for daily life.
Linda draws on cognitive behavioral tools to help people notice unhelpful thinking and try different behaviors. She also uses mindfulness techniques to increase present-moment awareness and reduce reactivity. Motivational interviewing and solution-focused strategies are used when people want clear, goal-oriented change.
In practice she treats sessions as collaborative problem solving. People can expect goal setting, skill building, and regular check-ins on progress. The work often includes communication strategies, coping plans for anxiety or mood swings, and steps for managing caregiver or aging-related stress.
Her prior experience in healthcare informs a practical view of life changes and complex medical or caregiving situations. She stresses building support outside the immediate circle when needed and helping people regain a sense of purpose and everyday functioning.
How sessions work
How Linda uses practical approaches online
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and understanding the person's perspective. It helps people feel heard and supports self-directed problem solving. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at thoughts and behaviors that keep stress or anxiety going. It uses short exercises and experiments to change patterns and improve mood.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Linda will collaborate with each person to choose strategies that fit their goals and day-to-day life. That may mean combining listening-based work with CBT exercises or using solution-focused steps for immediate concerns.
