About Linda

Linda Skoug is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Wisconsin with 13 years of clinical experience. She focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and relationship and intimacy concerns. Her work also includes support for grief, addictions, parenting challenges, and life changes such as career shifts or separation.

Linda uses clear, practical methods in sessions. She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients notice unhelpful thinking and try new behaviors.

Background and approach

She also uses Attachment-Based Therapy to look at patterns that affect how people connect, and she includes hypnotherapy when it fits a person's goals. Sessions aim to be straightforward and goal-focused. Linda helps people set small, manageable steps and practices to use between meetings.

Conversations often include skill-building for emotion regulation, problem solving for everyday stress, and attention to past experiences that keep causing pain. She works with adults facing a range of concerns including ADHD, bipolar disorder, eating issues, and substance use. Additional focuses include adoption and foster care questions, attachment difficulties, dissociation, and aging-related concerns.

Linda frames these topics in everyday language and helps people translate insight into action. The approach is collaborative and paced to each person. Clients leave with practical tools, clearer choices, and a plan for moving forward.

Sessions are offered by video, phone, live chat, or text messaging to fit different needs.

Online support

How hypnotherapy, CBT, and attachment work online

Hypnotherapy is used to help people access relaxed focus and work on habits, stress responses, and emotional patterns that feel stuck. Sessions typically include guided relaxation and suggestions tailored to a client's stated goals.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps people identify unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors. It is practical and often includes exercises and homework to try between sessions to reduce anxiety or depressive symptoms.

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current patterns of connection and trust. It helps people recognize repeating dynamics and try different ways of relating in close relationships.

Deciding which approach to use is a shared process. The therapist will talk with each person about their history, needs, and goals and then recommend one or a combination of approaches. Sessions are adjusted over time based on what is working and what the person prefers.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text messaging, which make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules. Video is useful for full conversations and exercises, phone works well when bandwidth is limited, and chat or text can suit shorter check-ins or ongoing support between sessions. These options offer flexibility for people juggling work, caregiving, or travel.
