Linda Comeau, LMFT

Linda Comeau is a licensed marriage and family therapist with 30 years in the mental health field. She works with people facing depression, anxiety, grief, relationship strain, and life changes. Linda emphasizes practical steps people can use right away to feel steadier and more capable.

She trained as a family therapist and brings a systems perspective to individual concerns. That means she looks at how relationships, work, and daily routines affect mood and behavior. Her background includes outpatient care and inpatient psychiatric hospitalization experience, which informs how she supports people through crises and transitions.

Linda holds a Bachelor of Science in Education from the University of Connecticut, a Master of Science in Education from Central Connecticut State University, and a Master of Science in Counseling with a focus on Marital and Family Therapy, also from Central Connecticut State University. Before shifting careers she taught in public schools for nearly twenty years.

Her approach blends cognitive behavioral techniques with solution-focused ideas, and she emphasizes self-care, social supports, clear communication, and healthy boundaries. She aims for a warm, strength-based style that helps people make concrete changes in attitudes and behavior.

Linda’s practice addresses a wide range of concerns including aging and geriatric issues, caregiver stress, attachment and blended family tensions, medical and cancer-related stress, parenting, and trauma-related problems. She finds it rewarding when people make shifts that restore calm and balance to daily life.

How therapy approaches shape online care

Linda often combines cognitive behavioral therapy and attachment-based ideas in her work. Cognitive behavioral therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors to reduce anxiety and depression. Attachment-based work looks at how early and current relationships shape feelings and reactions, which can help with intimacy concerns and caregiver stress.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels most useful. Together they try different strategies and adjust the focus as needed so the work fits the person’s life and aims.

If you are considering online therapy, confirm available session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow quick check-ins during breaks. It also lets people do focused skill practice between meetings and bring real-life situations into sessions for problem solving. Ask about scheduling, session length, and any other practical details when you complete the matching questionnaire so arrangements match your needs.
