About Lynda

Dr. Lynda Cokuslu is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Georgia with nine years of experience. She focuses on day-to-day problems people bring from home and work, including stress, anxiety, depression, addiction, trauma, and parenting concerns. She also addresses relationship and family-related issues and a range of life changes such as grief, career shifts, and caregiver stress.

Her style is person-centered and practical. Sessions aim to identify what is most pressing and workable. She uses clear tools and straightforward conversation rather than jargon. The goal is to help people manage emotions, improve communication, and build coping habits that fit their lives.

Dr. Cokuslu draws from a mix of approaches including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Emotionally-Focused Therapy. She adapts techniques from these models to what a person needs that week. That might mean practicing skills in session or setting small, concrete steps to try between meetings.

She often works with people dealing with parenting strain, sleep or eating concerns, attention difficulties, and identity-related stress. Other areas she addresses include abandonment, adoption and foster care questions, chronic illness and caregiver burden, and codependency or commitment issues.

Sessions are conducted in English. International clients are not accepted. Costs vary by location and use a subscription that can be canceled at any time. To begin, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.

How sessions work

How her approaches translate to online care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on identifying personal values and taking small committed steps toward them while making room for difficult thoughts and feelings. It can help with anxiety, depression, and life transitions by shifting the focus from symptom control to meaningful action.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors interact. It breaks problems into manageable parts and teaches practical skills for changing unhelpful thinking and routines, which often helps with stress, sleep, and mood problems.

Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) focuses on patterns in close relationships and the emotions that drive them. It can help people notice how they respond under stress and practice new ways of connecting and communicating.

Finding the right approach is collaborative. The therapist will discuss goals and try methods that fit a person's needs and preferences. If a technique does not help, adjustments are made together so the work stays practical and relevant.

The original biography did not list specific session formats, so confirm available online options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit appointments around work and family tasks, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Many licensed professionals use these benefits to keep therapy aligned with everyday life.
