About Linda
Linda Scaturro is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in New York with 25 years of experience in healthcare settings. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strain, grief, addiction concerns, and age-related issues.

Her approach is straightforward and conversational. Sessions are interactive and focus on practical skills people can use day to day. She listens carefully, checks what is working, and builds on individual strengths to help with immediate problems.
Linda uses methods that encourage clear thinking and concrete steps. She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and try different responses. Mindfulness techniques are used to help with emotional grounding and stress management. Motivational Interviewing and solution-focused ideas guide short-term goal setting and change planning.
In practice she helps people set small, achievable goals and track progress between meetings. Conversations aim to be respectful and direct, with attention to realistic options for everyday life. For older adults and caregivers she emphasizes maintaining purpose and practical supports as needs shift.
Linda works in New York and provides care in English. Prospective clients are asked to complete an initial questionnaire and schedule a first session to begin clarifying goals and next steps.
How her approaches translate to online work
Linda commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify patterns of thinking that increase anxiety or low mood and then try different, practical responses. CBT is useful for stress, panic, mood problems, and many daily life challenges. She also draws on Client-Centered Therapy which focuses on listening, understanding a person’s perspective, and building a working relationship that supports decision making. Mindfulness Therapy is used to teach simple attention and breathing practices that reduce reactivity and support coping with strong emotions.Choosing which approach to use is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, try a method, and adjust based on what helps the client meet their objectives. That process is collaborative and focuses on what is realistic for the client’s life and schedule.
Confirm the exact session formats available before booking, as current options are not listed here. Online work can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy day, shorten some check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. It can also allow sessions when face-to-face meetings are difficult to arrange, while still keeping the focus on measurable skills and clear next steps.
