Linda Stein, LPC

Linda Stein is a compassionate licensed counselor with 25 years of experience who centers her work on helping people regain clarity and agency in their lives. As an LPC - Licensed Professional Counselor - she approaches each person as the expert on their own experience, offering guidance when life circumstances make that inner expertise harder to access. Linda has worked extensively with individuals facing situational stressors, anxiety, grief and loss, struggles with self-esteem, parenting and step-parenting challenges, and the effects of trauma.

She also brings experience supporting parents of children, teens, and adults who are coming out as gay, queer, or trans, attending to the complexities those families may face. Linda emphasizes respect, sensitivity, and compassion in her therapeutic relationships and collaborates with clients to build greater self-understanding and stronger connections to personal strengths and potential. Her goal is to help clients make choices that support their well-being rather than work against it.

Mindful of the way individuals are embedded in larger networks - family, partners, and community - she addresses relational dynamics as part of treatment. Linda uses a range of evidence-informed approaches, including strengths-based methods, solution-focused strategies, person-centered care, and cognitive behavioral techniques (CBT), tailoring interventions to each person’s needs. She recognizes the courage it takes to seek help and honors the step clients make when they begin therapy.
