Linda Skoug, LPC

Linda Skoug is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Wisconsin with 13 years of experience. She focuses on helping people address stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, trauma and abuse, and issues around self-esteem and intimacy. Linda aims to create an environment where people can speak plainly about what’s going on and start to feel more in control.

Linda uses practical methods to help people change patterns that cause pain. She often draws on cognitive behavioral techniques to identify unhelpful thoughts and shift behaviors. Attachment-based ideas guide work around closeness, trust, and repeating old relationship patterns.

Her background includes helping people cope with grief, addiction, mood concerns such as depression and bipolar symptoms, and life changes like divorce or career shifts. Linda also supports people facing parenting stress, eating-related concerns, anger, and ADHD-related difficulties. She addresses specific areas such as abandonment, adoption and foster care, attachment issues, and dissociation when they come up in therapy.

Linda offers sessions through video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging. Sessions follow a format that fits the person’s needs and goals, with clear steps and collaborative planning. She uses techniques that are straightforward and focused on small, practical changes.

People who start work with Linda can expect a steady, direct approach that mixes talking, skill-building, and guided techniques. She works at the person’s pace and helps set achievable goals for clearer thinking, healthier relationships, and improved daily functioning.

Using CBT, Attachment Work, and Hypnotherapy Online

Linda often uses cognitive behavioral therapy, which looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches concrete skills to reduce anxiety and improve mood. Attachment-based work focuses on how past relationships shape current patterns and helps people build healthier ways of relating to others. Hypnotherapy involves guided relaxation and focused attention to work on habits, stress responses, or deeply held patterns when appropriate.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Linda will work collaboratively to decide which methods match a person’s goals and preferences. Together they set clear, realistic goals and try methods in ways that feel manageable, then adjust based on what helps most.

Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video lets people see nonverbal cues for deeper work, phone can be a quicker option or use less bandwidth, and messaging or chat can fit brief check-ins or ongoing support between longer sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, family, or daily routines while maintaining consistent progress.
