About Linda
Linda Jarels is an LPC - Licensed Professional Counselor in South Carolina with 20 years of experience helping adults with stress, anxiety, depression, grief, and life changes. She also works with people facing relationship and intimacy issues, trauma and abuse, anger, and concerns related to HIV/AIDS.
Her sessions focus on practical steps clients can try between meetings. She listens to what is happening day to day, notices thoughts and habits that cause problems, and helps people test different ways of responding. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is one approach she uses alongside acceptance and commitment strategies, mindfulness, and solution-focused work.
Clients can expect a collaborative style where goals are set together and progress is reviewed regularly. She uses client-centered techniques to keep conversations grounded in each person's values and priorities. The work often includes short exercises, thought records, and behavioral experiments to track what changes help.
Linda has worked with adults across a wide span of concerns for two decades. That experience informs a straightforward, skills-oriented approach when emotions become overwhelming or life situations shift. She pays attention to practical barriers and helps people build steps that fit everyday life.

How her approaches translate to online work
Linda uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and test small behavior changes. CBT focuses on specific thoughts, routines, and experiments that can reduce anxiety, depression, and stress-related patterns. She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, which helps people clarify what matters to them and take actions that reflect those values even when emotions are hard. Client-Centered Therapy is part of her approach too, meaning conversations prioritize the person's perspective and goals. The therapist treats finding the right approach as a collaborative process. She will discuss options, try methods that fit a person's needs, and adjust the plan based on what helps. Clients and therapist review progress and change strategies together. Confirm the session formats available before booking, since current options are listed at sign-up. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. It can also let people try techniques in real-world settings between meetings so skills are practiced where they will be used.Areas of expertise
