About Linda
Linda Russell is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Kentucky with 28 years of practice. She focuses on trauma and abuse and helps people who feel stuck after big life changes. Many come for help with social anxiety, isolation, guilt, shame, and questions about life purpose.
She keeps sessions direct and practical. Linda listens for patterns that keep people stuck and then works with them to try different ways of responding. Conversations address communication problems, rebuilding self-regard, and steps toward forgiveness in everyday life.
Linda uses trauma-informed ways of working to help people make sense of painful experiences. She helps clients notice how past events affect current relationships and behavior. The focus is on small, manageable changes that reduce overwhelm and increase confidence in daily situations.
She also helps people rebuild social connections and practice communication skills. That can include role-play, rehearsal of difficult conversations, and planning actions between sessions. The aim is to make interactions feel more workable, not to force a single outcome.
Sessions explore values and purpose when that is a concern. Linda supports people who are unsure what matters next after changes in work, health, or relationships. She encourages realistic steps toward clearer priorities and steadier day-to-day choices.
Approaches to change and online sessions
Linda uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that are practical and focused. One common approach is trauma-informed work, which helps people understand how past harm affects current feelings and behavior and then practices concrete ways to reduce distress. Another frequent method involves skills-based work on social anxiety and communication, using rehearsal and stepwise exposure to build confidence in real situations.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss your goals, preferences, and how symptoms show up, and then recommend methods to try. Decisions about pace and techniques are collaborative and adjusted as needed.
The original biography does not list specific online session formats. Confirm current session options before booking so you know whether video, phone, or other formats are offered. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy around work and family life, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. Therapists and clients often find that remote sessions let practical work continue between in-person visits and help maintain momentum during busy periods.
