About Linda
Dr. Linda DeBiase is a psychologist licensed in Arizona (AZ Psychologist PSY-005209) and California (CA Psychologist 14727) with 20 years of clinical experience. She works with adults on relationship struggles, trauma and abuse, intimacy concerns, mood issues, and problems with motivation or self-esteem. Sessions are conducted in English and international clients are not accepted.
Dr. DeBiase approaches therapy with direct, person-focused methods. She draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice unhelpful thinking and choose actions that match their values. Attachment-Based and Emotionally-Focused ideas guide work on closeness and trust in relationships.
People often come for help with anger, communication problems, codependency, or addiction. She also addresses grief from divorce or separation, blended family stress, adoption and foster care issues, and problems linked to trauma such as dissociation. Practical skills and clear communication are a regular part of sessions.
Her background includes work with complex cases where more than one problem shows up at once - for example mood disorders alongside substance use or attachment struggles. That experience shapes a steady, problem-solving approach rather than long theoretical talks.

How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online work
Dr. DeBiase often blends Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in clear, practical ways. ACT focuses on noticing thoughts and choosing meaningful action, which can help with frustration, resentment, and behavior patterns. CBT looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches tools to change unhelpful thinking and reduce reactivity.She also uses Attachment-Based and Emotionally-Focused ideas to address how people connect and respond in close relationships. That work looks at patterns of closeness, trust, and emotional responses so clients can try new ways of relating. Together these approaches aim to reduce anger that comes from feeling misunderstood, controlled, or disconnected.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to pick methods that fit their goals and daily life. That means trying techniques, checking if they help, and adjusting the plan based on progress and preference.
