About Linda
Linda Skoug is an LPC - Licensed Professional Counselor practicing in Wisconsin with 13 years of experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, relationship and intimacy concerns, trauma and abuse, mood disorders, and life transitions. Linda also helps with issues like ADHD, grief, eating and addiction concerns, and career stress.
She uses practical, down-to-earth methods that help people make sense of what's happening now. Sessions focus on what’s causing daily strain and on small changes that reduce overwhelm. Her style draws on approaches such as attachment work, cognitive behavioral techniques, and hypnotherapy to address patterns that repeat in relationships and self-image.
Linda pays attention to how early relationships shape current reactions. That perspective helps when someone struggles with commitment issues, attachment problems, or feelings tied to adoption or abandonment. She also supports people working through separation, divorce, and loss, and those managing mood and behavioral issues like bipolar or disruptive mood regulation concerns.
Practical skills form a large part of sessions. People learn ways to manage anxiety, handle anger, and approach difficult conversations. She offers tools that can be used between meetings to stabilize mood and improve functioning at work or school.
Clients who are young adults often look for help with identity, moving out, first jobs, and relationship pressure. Linda combines structured techniques with reflective exploration to help clients create clearer next steps and steadier day-to-day habits.
How her approaches translate to online work
Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationships shape current reactions. Online sessions use discussion and exercises to identify repeating patterns in relationships and to practice new responses that feel more manageable. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks down thoughts, feelings, and actions into parts you can change. In sessions this means learning simple skills to reduce anxiety, shift negative thinking, and try new behaviors between meetings. Hypnotherapy involves guided relaxation and focused attention to help change habits and manage symptoms. When used alongside other methods, it aims to support shifts in how people respond to stress or cravings. Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals and preferences and try methods that fit their needs. People often mix techniques rather than relying on a single method. Confirm the session formats before booking, as the biography does not list specific online options. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow for shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time so sessions can happen between school or work commitments. Those practical benefits help therapy integrate into everyday life without promising any particular outcome.Areas of expertise
