Her work is practical and focused on skills people can use day to day. She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thoughts and habits.

Sessions typically include goal-setting, experimenting with new responses, and tracking progress over time. She aims to help people notice patterns, try small changes, and practice new skills between sessions.
Her background includes providing individual and group therapy in areas such as life management, relapse prevention, anger management, domestic violence, addictions, and career development. She has experience supporting people through medical and major life stressors and addressing attachment, codependency, and communication problems.
Clients can expect direct, structured sessions that balance talking with practical exercises. Pollack encourages a focus on strengths and on routines that support both mental and physical well-being.
Approaches used in online sessions and how they help
Linda Pollack regularly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice and test unhelpful thoughts and patterns. CBT breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions so someone can try small changes and see what helps.She also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, which focuses on choosing meaningful actions even when difficult feelings are present. Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills are used for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and improving interpersonal effectiveness when those skills are needed.
Finding the right approach is part of the first discussions. The therapist works collaboratively to match methods to the client’s goals, needs, and preferences. That may mean trying CBT tools for a while and adding ACT or DBT skills later based on how the work is going.
