About Linda
Linda Skoug is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Wisconsin with 13 years of clinical experience. She helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, and anger. She also works with concerns like self-esteem, addictions, grief, parenting strain, career stress, and ADHD.
Linda prefers clear, direct work that focuses on what is happening now and what can help next. She uses practical conversation and structured techniques to help people notice patterns and try different responses. Sessions aim to make everyday situations feel more manageable and less reactive.
Her background includes attachment-based ideas, cognitive behavioral methods, and hypnotherapy. Those approaches are used to understand relationship patterns, change unhelpful thinking and behavior, and access calmer states for learning new skills. She combines these tools rather than relying on just one method.
In sessions she talks through recent incidents, helps identify triggers, and practices small behavioral changes to reduce intense reactions. She also works on rebuilding trust in relationships and improving communication when anger or resentment has built up.
People who come to her often want straightforward steps and explanations. She encourages homework between sessions so new ways of responding have a chance to stick. The work is practical and paced to fit real life demands.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online therapy
Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on relationship patterns and how early connections influence current reactions. Online sessions using attachment ideas look at how trust and closeness affect anger and help people practice different ways of relating.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) targets thoughts and behaviors that keep anger going. In video or phone conversations this approach breaks reactions into manageable parts and uses exercises to test new, calmer responses in daily life.
Hypnotherapy offers focused relaxation and suggestion to access calmer states and reinforce new habits. When combined with talk work it can help reduce physiological reactivity that fuels angry outbursts.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. She will discuss goals, try methods that fit the problem, and adjust based on what helps. Clients and therapist decide together which tools make the most sense.
Session formats were not specified in the provided biography, so confirm current options before booking. Many people find online sessions easier to fit into a workday, allow shorter check-ins, or reduce travel time. The format can be arranged to suit schedules and practical needs rather than assuming a single way of meeting.
