About Linda
Linda Comeau is a licensed marriage and family therapist with 30 years of experience in Connecticut. She brings a practical, down-to-earth style and focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, grief, relationship problems, parenting struggles, and major life changes.
Background and approach
Linda uses approaches that help people name what matters, change unhelpful patterns, and rebuild connections. Sessions are straightforward and goal-focused.
She emphasizes clear communication, boundary setting, and realistic expectations so daily life feels more manageable. Her background includes training in marital and family therapy and many years working across outpatient settings and inpatient psychiatric care.
Before becoming a therapist she taught in public schools for nearly two decades, which shaped her calm, patient manner. Linda blends cognitive behavioral techniques with client-centered and solution-focused work to help people shift thoughts and behaviors.
She also draws on attachment ideas and emotion-focused strategies when relationships and closeness are central concerns. Clients can expect a warm, strength-based approach that values self-care and social supports.
The therapist frames change as a series of practical steps and offers encouragement along the way. When someone is ready to take the first step, Linda guides them through the process.
Therapeutic approaches and how they work online
Linda draws on cognitive behavioral therapy to help people spot unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors. CBT is useful for anxiety, depression, and stress when the goal is to change patterns that keep problems going.She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people clarify values and take meaningful action even when feelings are hard. ACT can be a good fit for coping with life changes, chronic stress, and recurring worries.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist partners with each person to choose methods that match their goals, needs, and preferences. That collaborative process may shift over time as progress is made.
Online sessions offer flexibility and multiple ways to connect. Video calls let the therapist and client meet face to face for deeper conversation. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or for shorter check-ins. Live chat and text-based messaging provide a way to stay engaged between appointments or fit therapy into a busy schedule. These options make it easier to keep momentum and adapt therapy to everyday life.
