Linda Goldsmith, LMHC, LCPC

Linda Goldsmith is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) and a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) with 25 years of experience. She practices in Florida and helps people dealing with stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship difficulties, trauma, depression, grief, parenting strains, anger, and related concerns.

She uses straightforward methods that focus on what people can do now to feel better. Conversations look at current problems and patterns that come from past experiences. Sessions often combine listening with practical skills so clients can try things between appointments and notice what changes.

Linda draws on Client-Centered methods to keep sessions focused on each person's perspective. She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thoughts and Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills for managing intense feelings. Relationship work can include Gottman and Imago ideas when relevant to a person's goals.

With long experience across mood disorders, addictions, caregiving stress, chronic illness, and grief, she brings a calm, problem-focused approach. She helps people recognize patterns, set doable goals, and practice new responses to anger and frustration. Sessions aim to reduce reactivity and improve communication in daily life.

People who want a practical, skill-based process often find this approach useful. To start, the typical next step is completing a brief matching questionnaire and scheduling an initial session to identify immediate priorities and a plan for follow-up.
