About Linda
Linda Losi is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Florida with 35 years of experience. She began her clinical path after graduating from Barry University in 1996 and brings a long background that includes nursing and behavioral health. Linda lists anger among the concerns she helps people address alongside anxiety, trauma, depression, addictions, and relationship stress.
Her approach is straightforward and practical. She works collaboratively with clients and uses a mix of methods such as Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), existential ideas, and hypnotherapy. Sessions typically focus on skills, insight, and steps people can try between meetings.
Linda aims to make therapy feel accessible rather than intimidating. She notes that change comes from action, so sessions include concrete exercises and discussion about real-life patterns. People can expect direct conversation, some reflective work, and tools to manage strong feelings like anger and frustration.
Her background as a retired registered nurse and many years in behavioral health inform a practical stance toward coping and recovery. She also names work with LGBTQ issues, ADHD, personality disorders, and post-traumatic stress among her experience areas. That variety informs how she reads individual struggles and plans next steps.
Linda invites an open, nonjudgmental tone in sessions while encouraging clients to do active work between meetings. She uses techniques to reduce overwhelm, build emotion-regulation skills, and address communication and relationship concerns as they arise.
How sessions work
Approaches she uses for online sessions
Linda uses Client-Centered Therapy to build a conversational base where clients can talk through what feels most pressing. That approach emphasizes listening and responding to a person's priorities and makes it easier to shape goals around everyday problems like anger, work stress, or relationship strain.She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to identify unhelpful thought patterns and practice different responses. CBT provides concrete exercises and homework that people can try between sessions to reduce reactivity and manage mood. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills are used to teach emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and clearer communication for high-intensity feelings.
Choosing an approach is collaborative. The therapist will review symptoms, preferences, and goals and then suggest methods to try. Clients and the therapist adjust the plan together as progress and needs become clearer.
Confirm the current session formats before booking since the profile does not list them explicitly. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. If you want focused skills practice or CBT homework, those elements translate well to remote sessions; if you prefer different pacing or methods, that can be discussed and arranged when you schedule.
