About Linda
Linda Wiley is a Washington LICSW with 15 years of clinical experience. She helps people manage stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, grief, self-esteem problems, and life changes. She also focuses on aging and geriatric issues, communication difficulties, control issues, guilt and shame, isolation and loneliness, life purpose, and social anxiety and phobia.
Her approach centers on clear, practical conversation and simple skill building. Sessions focus on problem solving, noticing thought and behavior patterns, and trying different responses. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy alongside client-centered listening and mindfulness practices to keep work concrete and actionable.
People meet to define a few clear goals and to learn tools they can use between sessions. Linda emphasizes regular check-ins on what works and what needs adjusting. She often breaks larger concerns into small steps so progress is easier to track.
Her background includes a mix of short-term problem-focused work and longer-term support for life transitions. Over 15 years she has worked with adults across a range of stressors and loss. Her clinical style tends to be structured, focused on skills, and attentive to everyday challenges.
Sessions are conversational with an emphasis on practical exercises, thought monitoring, and brief mindfulness practices. Clients interested in beginning are asked to complete an initial matching questionnaire and schedule a first session to outline goals and the plan moving forward.
How her approaches translate to online work
Linda uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and test small behavior changes. CBT sessions often include brief experiments, thought records, and step-by-step plans to reduce anxiety or manage stress.She also uses client-centered methods that prioritize listening and building a collaborative plan. That approach focuses on the person’s goals and preferences rather than a fixed agenda. Mindfulness Therapy is used in short, practical exercises to slow down reactivity and improve focus; these practices can be done during or between sessions to support stress and grief work.
Deciding which approach to emphasize is part of the work together. She will review goals and preferences, try techniques, and adjust the plan based on what helps most. This collaborative process helps match methods to real-life needs.

It can also let people use short mindfulness exercises or CBT worksheets between meetings to keep progress moving.
