About Linda
Linda Orlando is a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) practicing in Maine with nine years of experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, career challenges, and coping with life changes, and speaks English for all sessions.
Linda frames sessions around practical skills and clear steps. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and habits and try different responses. She also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and client-centered techniques to support values-based goals and to keep the work focused on what matters most to the client.
In the room she works in a direct, respectful way. Sessions often include identifying specific thoughts that increase worry, testing those thoughts with small experiments, and practicing new behaviors between meetings. She also uses narrative methods to help people rewrite problematic stories about themselves and hypnotherapy where appropriate to address sleep or stress-related patterns.
Her background includes nearly a decade of work helping people manage depression, ADHD, grief, parenting strain, and chronic health concerns. She has experience addressing issues that affect life stage and aging as well as concerns around body image, gender dysphoria, and non-monogamous relationship dynamics.
People who choose her can expect a focus on concrete strategies, clear goals, and regular review of progress. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule an initial session to set priorities and plan next steps.
How CBT, ACT, and client-centered work online
Linda uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify thought patterns and test new behaviors; this approach is useful for anxiety, depression, and sleep problems. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy focuses on values and actions - it helps when someone wants to live more consistently with what matters despite difficult feelings. Client-centered work centers on the client's perspective and priorities, providing space to clarify goals and make practical plans.Choosing the right approach is part of the first few sessions. She works with clients to decide whether CBT, ACT, client-centered methods, or a mix best fits their needs, goals, and preferences. That decision is collaborative and can be revisited as progress is reviewed.

It also lets people practice skills in day-to-day settings and bring concrete challenges from everyday life into session for immediate problem solving.
