About Linda

Linda Comeau is a Connecticut-licensed marital and family therapist (LMFT) who brings roughly 30 years of experience across outpatient and inpatient psychiatric settings.

Background and approach

She draws on a systems-based family therapy foundation while using cognitive behavioral therapy and solution-focused ideas to help people manage depression, anxiety, grief, life transitions, and relationship difficulties in a variety of contexts. Her background includes work with parenting concerns, blended families, codependency, emotional abuse, caregiver stress, and medical or addiction-related family impact.

Comeau earned degrees in education and counseling, moving from nearly two decades as a public school teacher into specialized training in marital and family therapy. Her practice emphasizes practical skills such as effective communication, boundary setting, and self-care to support healthier daily functioning.

She aims to offer a warm, strengths-oriented approach that encourages realistic expectations and measurable changes in attitudes and behaviors. Clients encounter a clinician who values collaborative work and considers each person’s relationships and life systems when planning treatment.

When clients are ready to address challenges ranging from career stress and parenting to trauma, she focuses on concrete strategies and compassionate support to help restore balance and resilience.

Integrating CBT and Attachment Perspectives in Online Care



Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors to reduce symptoms like anxiety and depression and to improve coping with life changes. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy emphasizes values-based action and mindfulness to increase psychological flexibility when facing difficult emotions or grief. Attachment-Based Therapy explores patterns in relationships and emotional bonds to help with intimacy issues, family dynamics, and caregiving stress.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic work and is handled collaboratively. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and presenting concerns and will adapt techniques from CBT, ACT, or attachment work to fit each person’s needs, adjusting the plan as progress is made.

Online sessions by video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging offer flexibility for people managing busy schedules, caregiving responsibilities, or limited local options. These formats make it possible to maintain consistent care, practice skills between sessions, and access support from Connecticut-licensed professionals without additional travel, helping therapy fit into everyday life.
