About Lynda

Dr. Lynda Cokuslu is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Georgia with nine years of clinical experience. She works with adults who are dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, grief, addictions, anger, relationship strain, parenting concerns, and related life changes. Sessions are conducted in English and international clients are not accepted.

She uses several practical therapy approaches, including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Client-Centered Therapy, and Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT). In session she helps people notice unhelpful patterns, practice new ways of responding, and try small behavior changes that can reduce tension and improve daily functioning. Work often focuses on things like coping skills, communication, and managing strong feelings.

Dr. Cokuslu also supports people facing identity and relationship concerns, parenting stress, sleep and eating difficulties, ADHD-related struggles, and caregiving burdens. She pays attention to how past experiences such as abandonment, adoption, or attachment issues shape present reactions. Practical problem-solving and skill practice are common parts of the work.

Her sessions include coaching elements for career and life transitions and attention to co-occurring medical or chronic conditions when relevant. For people wrestling with anger or persistent frustration, she offers strategies to recognize triggers and take calmer actions in charged moments. Costs vary by location and sessions operate through a cancelable subscription model.

To begin, users complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session via the See online therapy options button. This first meeting is used to clarify goals and pick the approaches that fit best.

How sessions work

Therapeutic approaches and working online

The work often draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. ACT focuses on clarifying values and taking committed action even when emotions are strong, which can help when anger gets in the way of goals. CBT looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches concrete skills to change unhelpful thinking and reduce reactive responses.

She also uses elements of Dialectical Behavior Therapy for skills training. DBT offers practical tools for distress tolerance, emotion regulation, and clearer communication, which are useful for managing intense or frequent anger. The therapist will discuss these approaches and together you will choose which methods match your goals and preferences in a collaborative way.

Because the biography does not list specific session formats, confirm the available online options before booking. Many people find online sessions make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when time is tight, or reduce travel time around work and family commitments. The first session is used to set goals, agree on an approach, and determine how to schedule ongoing meetings that fit daily life.
