About Linda

Linda Skoug is an LPC practicing in Wisconsin with 13 years of clinical experience. She focuses on helping people handle anxiety, depression, relationship strain, and major life changes. Her work emphasizes steady, practical support for everyday struggles and emotional setbacks.

She uses clear, straightforward methods so people know what to expect each session. Linda pays attention to attachment patterns and how past relationships shape present behavior. She also offers strategies to manage mood, stress, and addictive behaviors in day-to-day life.

Clients can expect a calm, respectful tone and a focus on small, achievable steps. Conversations move from understanding what’s happening now to trying different ways to respond. Sessions include skill-building alongside reflective talk about past wounds and current triggers.

Linda brings experience working with people who face trauma, loss, and transitions. She also supports those navigating parenting questions, eating concerns, and ADHD-related challenges. Her approach balances relationship-focused work with practical behavioral techniques.

Hypnotherapy is among the approaches she uses when appropriate, offered alongside cognitive behavioral techniques and attachment-focused work. Decisions about which approach to try come from talking through needs and goals together. This helps shape a plan that fits each person’s pace and situation.

Step 3

How Linda’s approaches translate to online work

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current patterns. It helps people notice how they seek closeness, react to rejection, and rebuild trust in relationships.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy or CBT focuses on changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. It is practical and goal-oriented, useful for anxiety, depression, and stress management.

Hypnotherapy uses guided relaxation and focused attention to address habits, pain points, and strong emotional responses when appropriate. It can be paired with other techniques to support change.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before. Together they decide whether attachment work, CBT, hypnotherapy, or a mix makes the most sense.

Session options are not specified in the biography, so confirm available formats before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and offer alternatives for people who prefer not to use video. Licensed professionals can adapt these approaches to work well across different settings and schedules.
