More about me

Licensing: LMHC Years in Practice: 15 State: New Hampshire

Hi there. Thank you for being curious about my profile. I appreciate the difficulty involved in reaching out for help and support.

I lived in Rhode Island and had a therapy practice in Bristol, RI for years. I relocated to Salem, New Hampshire in 2019. I hold a license in NH. My license number is 2097 with the NH Board of Mental Health Practice.

I have had a long career in human services and have had my own practice as a therapist for over 10 years. I am a mature therapist, both in years and experience.

My experience has been with individuals with anxiety, panic symptoms, fears and phobias, depression symptoms such as low motivation, family and relationship stress, and self-esteem and confidence issues. I also have experience with the grief process.

My approach is first to establish trust with you, then to help you crystallize what you want to be different in your life. After you have that clarity, we will add tools to your toolbox that you can use to make the changes you desire.

I have a clinical supervisor with whom I discuss symptoms. I do not disclose any identifying information so as to protect confidentiality for my clients. Most clinicians have regular supervision and I feel it is necessary to have another professional's perspective, advice, and support as part of my career. When you sign the agreement to work with me you are agreeing to my continued professional relationship with my supervisor that may include discussing one or more of your symptoms. And you are also benefitting from another experienced clinician's advice. Unless I were to have a signed release from you, I am ethically prohibited from disclosing any personal information of yours that would identify you.

It’s not easy making changes in our lives, but I will give you the support, encouragement, strategies and feedback along the way that will make the process easier and more likely that you will succeed with your goals.

About online counseling

Online counseling allows you to receive care from an online mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Ranging from $60 to $90 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.

Overall

Linda always follows up with me- even when I am too distracted or if I forget to reply. She also always shares positive affirmations which apply to my situation.

Linda has helped guide me through major transitions in my life and I couldn't recommend her more!

I’ve had Linda as my therapist for 2 years now and all I can say is that she is wonderful. Helped me in so many ways and I can’t be more grateful to her and this platform.

Linda is smart, intuitive and helpful!

Linda listens to me.

She is great, easy to talk to and helping me work through some things

Linda is an amazing therapist and I am truly grateful I ended up with her. She is a very kind and caring person.

Linda has been a great help. Insightful and empathic. Wise.

I love Linda, she has been like a light when I have needed it and somehow always knows what to say, how to say it and in a gentle way that makes me feel seen and heard!

Linda is helping me.

Linda is caring, prompt and attentive. I lucked out so hard with her on this platform. Cannot recommend her and betterhelp enough!

Linda is awesome. I can’t thank her enough for all she has done for me.

Fantastic therapist

Been to many therapists since I was in highschool and she’s to only one who I think has really listened and has helped me incredibly with dealing with trauma and death and my own depression and anxiety

It would be nice if BetterHelp still allowed you to see openings in the schedule even when you have a session booked just in case you need to change it but don’t want to cancel if there are no other options. It would also be nice to have a “pay as you go” or pay by session option.

Linda is a very knowledgable and compassionate therapist. She always gets back to me right away and gives very insightful input in our video sessions. I definitely recommend her to others looking for help.

Linda is a a great professional therapist so and the experience is as good as a local in-person therapy session. This is my first experience using Better Help and I got a great first impression of the app!

Linda cares about my struggles, yet doesn't coddle me. She gives me space to process and speak and is a steady help with my growth. Gentle, cool Aunt energy.

I have really benefited from my sessions with Linda. She definitely knows how to help people with anxiety.

Linda is a very caring, compassionate person. She has helped me in so many ways. I am very grateful to have her as my therapist.

Linda is strong in her approach. She confidently conveys her message. She respects if I do not agree with one of her thoughts or questions. She is able to follow my systemic thinking. She accepts an answer when I give it to her. She respects when I am firm in my answer and seems as though she trusts that I will confidently call out my weaknesses.

Linda has been an amazing support to me over these last 9 months. She listens intently, challenges me to step outside of my comfort zone, and offers many coping strategies and exercises to help me get outside my comfort zone. She is an absolute blessing and I would recommend her to anyone I know.

Linda is very easy to talk to. She gives reassurance and clarity to every problem I’ve brought to her. She has also provided me with many helpful resources!

Linda is phenomenal.

Linda is caring and supportive and a wonderful listener - she's a strong and graceful presence

Linda O’Malley is a wonderful therapist. She listens, reflects back my concerns and then gives me tools to address my problems. She is warm and caring.

Linda is a very thoughtful and experienced therapist. She always listens to my concerns and gives helpful advice. I strongly recommend her!

Linda is my safe place. I want her to be my therapist for forever

Having Linda as my counselor has truly been a gift. She is so caring and kind. She guides me in a gentle way and asks questions that prompt me to think about what I can do to live a healthier and more fulfilled life. Linda helped me with career decisions and difficult work and personal issues. She helped me to grieve the loss of my mother, and to create mental space to finish writing a book about my mom after years of trying. With her guidance, I have modified daily activities that have improved my sleep and reduced my anxiety. I feel calmer and more grounded. I am now able to intentionally think about what is best for me. For instance, what I want the last third of my career and retirement to look like and begin planning for it. I am sad that I could not continue with Linda because she no longer sees clients who live in MA. I am so grateful to Linda and feel extremely fortunate to have had the past 8 months with her.

Linda is intuitive and understands situations I explain to her very well! I feel like she recognizes what I need and how to help me.

Linda has changed my life for the better! I have worked with her for about a year and a half and I attribute much of my progress and positive change to her support and advice. She has been especially supportive to me in one of the most difficult periods of my life. Linda has given me the techniques and skills necessary to live a happier life. If I had to describe her in one word, it would be: exceptional.

She had been a great support system and help to me.

Linda has been wonderful so far! I know I’m still at the beginning of my therapy journey and overcoming social anxiety, but Linda has been very supportive and validates my feelings and I trust her. I’m not scared to be open and vulnerable about my fears and feelings, and I’m really looking forward to my next session and the work that I’ll be doing to better myself between sessions.

Linda is extremely knowledgeable about the therapy that will be most helpful for me. She sends me articles , immediately , after our sessions. This helps with reinforcing what we have discussed and allowing me to continue my reading and practice that will allow me future success.

Linda has helped me so much I am forever thankful. I continue to evolve and appreciate myself through sessions with her. Truly, transforming!

Linda is wonderful! I would recommend her without reservation to anyone.

I appreciate so much that Linda understands my schedule, and doesn't fault me if I don't keep consistent weekly calls. She is kind and listens, but also really wants me to work on things to be a better me for myself first.

Linda has been an amazing help with what I have brought to her

Linda is my savior and everything I’ve wanted in a therapist. She understands exactly what I need even when I don’t. Would highly recommend and am so grateful for everything’s she’s done for me.

Linda is wonderful, insightful and helpful!

She is amazing and has really helped me with my struggles.

Linda helps me see things from a different perspective and challenges me to think about things differently than I’m used to. She always provides me with helpful ideas and resources.

Linda is very helpful making me see things through another perspective and showing me the tools I need to cope with stressors in a healthy way

Linda is smart, compassionate and simply just knows how to help you.

Absolutely amazing she truly cares about my needs and help me feel better about myself

Linda O’Malley has helped me find the positives in my life, and has given me the resources to help my anxiety when needed. She is always checking in on me even when I am not responsive and that is everything I wanted out of this. She is the best.

Linda, has been wonderful to work with and very helpful! I would highly recommend her to others!

I was immediately comfortable and confident in Linda. She checks in routinely and ensures my well being.

Linda has already been very helpful to me and giving me resources and guidance on the reasons I came to therapy. She’s been so wonderful and I highly recommend her!

Linda has a wide range of knowledge with exceptional skills. She is very easy to talk to and she listens. She is simply excellent.
