About Linda
Linda Oberle is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) and a Licensed Master Social Worker (LMSW) with six years of post-licensure experience. She practices in Texas and helps people with addiction, trauma and abuse, parenting stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, grief, low self-esteem, depression, and life transitions.
Her background includes long experience in child welfare and work related to substance abuse and crisis intervention. That history informs her approach to adoption and foster care concerns, domestic violence, codependency, and post-traumatic stress. She also addresses workplace stress, isolation, guilt and shame, and issues that follow loss or major change.
Linda uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy alongside Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, client-centered methods, EMDR, and mindfulness techniques. In sessions she focuses on noticing unhelpful thoughts and testing new ways of responding. She works in a practical, interactive way and builds plans around what the person wants to accomplish.
She describes her role as attentive and interactive, with an emphasis on respect for different cultures. Treatment plans are shaped by the client's priorities and goals, and she encourages people to take an active role in their progress. Her style centers on clear steps, concrete skills, and regular review of how those steps are going.
People who choose her can expect straightforward problem-focused work that aims to reduce distress and increase coping skills. Before a first session she asks people to identify their main concerns so early appointments can focus on practical next steps.
How CBT, ACT and client-centered work online
Linda commonly combines Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, and client-centered techniques in online sessions. CBT looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions and uses short exercises to change patterns that maintain anxiety or depression. ACT emphasizes identifying what matters to a person and taking committed steps toward those values even when difficult thoughts appear. Client-centered methods focus on active listening and building plans driven by the client's goals.Choosing an approach is collaborative. The therapist will talk with the person about objectives, try a method, and adjust based on what helps. That means sessions can shift toward skill-building, mindfulness, or EMDR work depending on how the client responds and what they want to address.
Session formats are not listed in the supplied biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a day because it removes travel and allows for more flexible scheduling. It can also allow shorter check-ins, audio-only conversations when video is difficult, or focused skill-practice between meetings. Linda will discuss which ways of meeting fit the person's routine and needs.
