About Linda
Linda Comeau is a licensed marital and family therapist who blends practical strategies with a warm, strengths-based manner. She has worked in mental health for nearly 30 years and brings steady, experienced support to people facing stress and life changes.
Background and approach
She focuses on common problems like anxiety, depression, grief, and relationship strain. Parenting challenges, blended family issues, caregiving stress, and intimacy-related concerns are also frequent topics in her work.
Linda aims to help people re-balance their lives with clearer communication and healthier boundaries. Her background began in education with a Bachelor of Science from the University of Connecticut and a Master of Science in Education from Central Connecticut State University.
She later earned a Master of Science in Counseling with a focus on Marital and Family Therapy from Central Connecticut State University. Before training as a therapist, she taught in public schools for almost twenty years.
Linda uses cognitive behavioral techniques alongside solution-focused and client-centered principles. She also draws on attachment-based ideas and the Gottman Method when relationships are involved.
Sessions are practical and goal-oriented, with an emphasis on small, doable changes that add up over time. People meet Linda for a mix of support and coaching.
She encourages self-care, realistic expectations, and stronger social supports. When someone chooses to make a change, she works to offer steady encouragement and useful tools for everyday life.
Using relationship and behavioral approaches in online sessions
Linda draws on the Gottman Method to help people notice patterns in their interactions and build better communication. That approach focuses on practical skills for handling conflict, increasing understanding, and restoring connection in close relationships.She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, which helps people name their values and take small steps toward them even when feelings are hard. Attachment-based ideas guide work on how early connection patterns affect current relationships and how to create more supported ways of relating.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to choose methods that fit their goals, personality, and situation. Sessions often mix approaches so work stays relevant and useful rather than theoretical.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for deeper conversation and skill practice, phone can be simpler when bandwidth is limited, and messaging formats allow brief check-ins or ongoing coaching. These options make it easier to fit work into a busy life and to keep momentum between sessions.
