About Linda
LCSW Linda Kartell has 24 years of clinical experience and practices in Florida. She helps people with stress, anxiety, depression, relationship concerns, LGBT issues, and career questions. She frames clients as the experts in their lives and works alongside them to use existing strengths and resources.
Linda emphasizes partnership in sessions. She listens for what is already working, then helps people apply those strengths to reduce difficulties. Conversations focus on practical ways to address worries and relationship patterns rather than on jargon or tests.
Her approach is rooted in Client-Centered Therapy, which centers the person’s perspective and priorities. Sessions are directed by the client’s concerns and paced to match comfort and readiness. This makes the work useful for problems like persistent worry, low mood, and feeling isolated.
She also pays attention to themes such as forgiveness, guilt and shame, loneliness, and questions about life purpose. These topics are addressed through open conversation that aims to reframe self-judgment and identify small, realistic steps forward. The emphasis is on clear, manageable strategies rather than lengthy theoretical explanations.
Practical matters are part of the process. Linda asks about what a person already does well and about realistic next steps they can try between sessions. Beginning therapy starts with a short matching questionnaire and scheduling a first session so the client and clinician can decide how to proceed together.

How Client-Centered Work Adapts to Remote Sessions
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the person’s perspective and lets the client guide the topics and pace. In this approach the therapist listens closely, reflects what they hear, and helps people identify the strengths they already have. This is useful for worries, low mood, relationship worries, and questions about life purpose.The work often involves exploring feelings about guilt, shame, or loneliness and finding small, concrete steps forward. That same client-led approach translates to remote work by keeping the session focused on the client’s priorities and practical needs. The therapist and client decide together which techniques to try and how to measure progress.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will collaborate with the client to pick techniques that fit the person’s goals and daily life. That shared decision-making helps choose how often to meet and which session rhythms are most helpful.
