Linda Orlando

Linda Orlando is a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) in Maine with nine years of clinical experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, relationship problems, career doubts, and life changes. Linda also supports clients dealing with grief, sleep difficulties, parenting strains, self-esteem concerns, depression, and ADHD. She lists life purpose among her areas of focus.

Linda describes clients as the experts in their own stories. She uses that position to help people notice strengths and build on them. Sessions are conversational and problem-focused, with practical steps to try between meetings.

Her approach draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people recognize unhelpful thoughts and choose values-based actions. Client-Centered and Narrative ideas shape how she listens and helps people tell their stories differently. Hypnotherapy is also one of the methods she uses when appropriate.

In the room, Linda aims to break down big problems into smaller, manageable actions. She often offers simple exercises for stress, sleep, and mood regulation. When work or relationships feel stuck, she helps people map options and test changes in small steps.

She works in English and practices in Maine. Starting therapy begins with a short questionnaire and scheduling a first session. Fees vary by location and use a cancellable subscription model.

How her approaches translate to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and take small steps toward those values. It focuses on noticing thoughts and making choices that match personal priorities rather than getting stuck in worry. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) identifies unhelpful thinking and tests new behaviors to change mood and coping. It is often used for anxiety, depression, sleep, and stress management. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and reflecting so the client can find their own solutions; it supports change by treating the client as the expert in their life.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Linda will work collaboratively to decide which methods fit a person's goals and preferences. That can mean combining techniques from ACT, CBT, and client-centered listening, or trying one approach for a few sessions and adjusting as needed.

Confirm current session options before booking, since specific formats are not listed here. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, shorten a check-in when time is limited, or avoid travel. Therapists often find remote work useful for maintaining continuity during life transitions and for practicing techniques in everyday settings.
