More about me

Licensing: MS, LPCC, LICDC Years in Practice: 6 State: Ohio

After earning a dual degree in mental health and substance abuse treatment, I began to work with clients who were recovering from opioid abuse and co-occurring disorders. This gave me the unique capacity to help clients not only with addiction, but also trauma, stress, depression, low self-confidence, guilt & shame, anger, and anxiety among many other issues. In addition to general counseling services, I am seasoned in working with process addictions such as shopping, video gaming, Internet, exercise, gambling, and sex and love addictions.

I have worked with many clients in the LGBTQIA community and value diversity for others and myself. I have the knowledge and skills to work with clients who struggle with sexual identity and help emotionally work through many issues that arise as a result of sexual trauma, grief or dysfunction. I also work with many clients who open and/or non-monogamous relationships. I believe that acceptance and empowerment is the foundation of this work.

I use my accumulated skills to help you identify what is holding you back and how your past helps you identify your strengths to achieve the life you want. I can use a variety of approaches to fit your needs.

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. Starting at $65 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

I’m so glad that I was matched with Linda! She is great to talk to and great at helping me figure things out. She is so kind and caring, that I not only feel better after talking to her, but just knowing that I can reach out to her also makes me feel better when stuff is happening.

Linda is very supportive and gives me specific tasks to do. I really like that!

Linda is a kind, understanding, compassionate therapist who also is willing to ask hard questions to uncover the underlying thoughts that are contributing to keeping you stuck. I returned to her after a year when I needed support and it felt very easy to reach out to her to re-engage.

If I could give more five stars, I would Linda Levinson has truly helped me in a big way, understand and connect dots that I had questions about, or did fully recognize and tie them together for an outcome that is more peaceful and tranquility. Her expertise is Surpassed by none I would strongly strongly recommend anybody seeking help to give her a shot. She would not disappoint thank you, Mrs Levinson you have made a difference to my life.

Linda is great. She is an amazing listener, and seems to always ask the right questions to get me to look at situations in my life from a fresh persoective.

She listens well and can identify all of my issues pretty easily, which impressed me. She’s very kind and heartwarming.

Linda is good. I’ve been helped getting my life refocused after 3 close family members died.

Linda is great, she’s thoughtful and very helpful.

Linda, is a very admirable and magnificent therapist. You sometimes even forget that she is one that the way you converse is quite casual and the whole story gets out there instead of like a public talk where you filter out the dirty talk. I always look forward to my conversations with her and always prepared of what I want to talk with her about, because I get so zoned in that I go over our time limit. So that really shows that I enjoy being with her and time passes quite fast, that to be looking at the clock every 5 minutes to wait for the session to finish. It's more like looking at the clock every 5 minutes to make sure you still have enough time.

I greatly appreciate all of the advice and help she has given me. She's been there for me in good and bad times, and I know she will be there in the future if I need her.

Linda possesses the top 3 things I look for in a therapist- Warmth, Empathy and questions that make me really think about my situation on many levels. Love her easy rapport and look forward to our sessions

Lynda has been the most supportive and non judgmental person I’ve ever met!

Linda has helped me in so many ways. I am so grateful for her wise and non- judge mental advice and guidance. It has made my life so much better!!

She’s a really good therapist and I appreciate the fact she’s wanting to problem solve.

Linda has been great!

Linda is very responsive and proactive. She asks me how I'm doing when she knows I have a stressful situation coming up or recently finished. Having a professional reenforce what friends are telling me has been very reassuring and has allowed me to trust the people around me.

Easy flowing conversations and a sense of care in her responses. I genuinely feel she is invested in my growth.

I am hoping that communicating via messages will work until I am able to talk one on one with Linda again (once my son goes back to school). I take her advice to heart and just knowing that she is there and responds so quickly to me is a relief.

Linda is such a pure and nice person. I would actually love to send her a gift if I was ever able to. She is that one friend who will always listen to you, and even though it is her job, you really just zone out and forget because of how easy the conversation flows. I will say so far I've had excellent experience with her. I also cannot believe that in 3 months I'll be having my 1 year anniversary starting with Betterhelp and Linda. And I would love to thank her for her patience and kindness as I see it is really her and not just a fake act.

She is very understand and willing to work with you

Linda has been a lifesaver these past two years I've been with her. She's helped me come a long way from where I was, and now I feel confident in my skin, and able to move through adversity without panicking about the unknown.

Linda has been great for me to talk to in some of my hardest moments recently. I really appreciate the consistency and follow she provides as well.

Linda is very professional and supportive. She is a great listener and isn't afraid to ask tough questions to get you to examine the beliefs that might be limiting your healing.

Linda is an amazing counsellor and has helped me through so much in the time we’ve spent working through my issues. I would highly recommend her to anyone, unless that means I get less of her time, haha!

Linda is kind, empathetic, and always listens to my concerns. She has been so helpful and supportive in my mental health journey. She recommends books about subjects I'm interested in learning more about. She takes the time to check-in and connect. Honestly, she's fantastic. 10/10

Linda has been very attentive to my concerns and very helpful. She is a good listener and tries to understand where my struggles are. I appreciate everything she has done for me. I highly recommend her!

Linda is an easy to talk to therapist. I can see her expertise in the manner she speaks with me when we have our conversations. It's always a good feeling when I ask her if she remembers when I told her a story and she says yes, it's always great because I know she's been engaging since day one. She almost always feels like a sister to talk to and I'm comfortable telling her everything that I feel and every situation that's happened. And not always bad ones, but even good ones to share. Or even big stages that I was able to conquer because of her help and I wanna share with her that she was a part of it and made it possible. :)

Linda has been so helpful since i started therapy :) i love her a lot

Linda is a great listener and asks thoughtful questions. She respects me and my concerns and has good relationship insight

I am very happy that I chose to start therapy. I’m especially happy that I was paired with Linda. She always great and helped me tremendously in a short amount of time. I would recommend her in a heart beat!

So far we talked a few times and it’s been helpful. She is super responsive and respectful!!

She’s absolutely amazing and I’m glad to have worked with her all this time. Linda has helped me heal from a lot and I’m very thankful for her!

She’s a wonderful listener with helpful advice and self care tools and skills she can teach.

I appreciate her checking on me

Linda is great to work with and really listens and provides specific support to my needs. I highly recommend partnering with Linda to navigate life’s struggles!

Always a good session with Linda

I want my original therapist brandy

I tried therapy in a few different forms and settings and nothing seemed to stick. Once I started talking with Linda she just clicked and really had great things to say and challenged me in a lot of ways. She changed my perspective on therapy!

She knew I needed coping skills and provided those right away.

Seemed to be a nice person willing to listen and give good reasonable feedback

I really appreciate Linda's professionalism and congeniality. She is easy to talk to and creates a safe environment for difficult conversations.

Seriously, Better Help has changed my life! It’s so convenient and you can do it from the comfort of wherever you are!

Still working with Linda to see if she is a good fit. Going through a re-diagnosis as she feels she does not have enough information to understand the cause of my anxiety.

Linda has been so caring and compassionate. She listens to me and works with me.

I have been working with Linda for years now to explore and process my trauma and she is a compassionate, open, and creative counselor. She does an amazing job providing a balance of gentle guidance and encouragement, and always makes me feel fully listened to. I highly recommend her.

Linda is a great listener and provides guidance.

Linda is a good listener and focuses on you. And get you to focus on you.

Good first experience

Linda is extremely helpful, professional, and responsive. She's been a wonderful resource as I work through some challenges.

Linda is easy to talk to, supportive, and consistently offers an unbiased ear.

Linda had helped me so much, I was nervous to start therapy bit she has made it a good process.

Linda is an absolute gem of a person. Her skills and expertise are apparent every session and I would recommend her to everyone, unless it would mean she might have less time to help me, haha!

Linda is always helpful and knows how to guide our sessions

Linda is always prepared for what a session might bring, whether it be laughs or tears she's equipped to provide solutions or just listen. She's helped me through figuring out complex emotions, and how to navigate through life without letting them disrupt my day to day life. Finding my identity after separation, and whether I was making decisions for me. I couldn't have pictured anyone else helping me through this journey.

Linda is a well-educated and nonjudgemental professional with whom I have been able to share easily and feel supported in the process. Linda is trauma-informed and someone I would recommend.

She is amazing and so positive. She has truly an awesome outlet. That she doesn't truly know me and can give me advice without being bias. It's nice.

Linda is a great listener and also great at giving pointers when it comes to handling certain situations. I would recommend her to anyone!!

This is my first experience with a therapist and Linda has made the proce extremely comfortable. She listens intently and is responsive to my needs and fears. She also has great resource recommendations.

Linda gives great advice. I am usually all over the place while talking through my issues, but she does a good job of helping me make sense of the root of the issue. I feel so much better after our session.

Great listener and knows just right questions to ask to push the conversation into a meaningful direction.

Just started working with Linda and she has been great! Very kind and offers practical advice. I felt better right after my session!

Linda is very understanding and is always trying to work with you! Best therapist I've ever had!

Linda is my very first therapist. It has been a great experience. She messages me every night at 10:30 and I look forward to it.

Linda makes me feel heard and understood and very supported. She also reminds me that it's okay to be upset by decisions other people have made and to stop giving them excuses. She's the best.

Lots covered during counseling sessions. I appreciate the messaged sent throughout the week and Linda's detailed summary of counseling sessions. I reread them frequently.

Linda is extremely supportive, attentive, and gives intelligent and helpful advice. I'm very grateful to have found her!
