About Linda
Linda Skoug is an LPC (licensed professional counselor) practicing in Wisconsin with 13 years of clinical experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, depression, relationship concerns, trauma and abuse, parenting, and related issues such as self-esteem and coping with life changes. Linda uses several therapeutic approaches to help people facing difficult moments at home and in work life.
She draws on Attachment-Based Therapy to look at how early and current relationships shape responses to conflict and intimacy. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used to identify unhelpful thinking patterns and try new behaviors. Hypnotherapy is offered as an adjunctive tool for some issues when appropriate.
Sessions tend to be practical and conversational. Linda helps people break problems into manageable steps. She works with clients to set short-term goals, practice new skills, and track what changes between sessions.
Her background includes support for people dealing with grief, addictions, eating and food-related issues, anger, and career stress. She also notes experience with complex concerns such as attachment issues, adoption and foster care, and substance-related problems.
Clients can expect direct talk about what is happening now, plus attention to patterns that repeat over time. People interested in starting are asked to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule an initial session to discuss goals and practical next steps.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online work
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how relationships shape current behavior and feelings. Online sessions can focus on patterns in close relationships and how those patterns affect parenting, intimacy, or conflict.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. In video or phone conversations, CBT often uses short exercises and homework to practice new ways of thinking between sessions.
Hypnotherapy is offered as an additional tool for certain concerns, typically aimed at reducing anxiety, improving focus, or addressing habits. It is presented as one part of a broader plan rather than a stand-alone fix.
Deciding which approach to use is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with the client to weigh goals, preferences, and what feels manageable. That plan can be adjusted over time as progress or challenges become clear.
Session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Therapists and licensed professionals generally find that clear goals, regular practice between sessions, and straightforward scheduling help integrate therapy into everyday life.
