About Linda

Linda Newton, LCSW brings 25 years of clinical social work experience to her practice in Colorado. As a licensed clinician (LCSW, CSW), she has devoted much of her career to supporting people facing trauma, addiction, and mood disorders, including work with veterans and complex post-traumatic stress presentations.

Background and approach

Her background includes developing psychoeducational curricula that explore how PTSD, substance use, and self-esteem interact and affect everyday functioning. Her approach blends practical, evidence-informed methods such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), EMDR, client-centered techniques, and relationship work influenced by the Gottman Method.

She emphasizes addressing co-occurring diagnoses and the ways trauma can shape relationships, morals, and sense of self. Linda aims to help clients move beyond past events toward clearer goals and improved coping.

Prospective clients are invited to schedule an appointment and can expect a timely response within 24 to 48 business hours. Her practice focuses on collaboration and skill-building to support recovery, growth, and better day-to-day functioning.

How therapy approaches translate to online care

Linda often draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients identify unhelpful thinking patterns and develop practical strategies for changing behaviors and emotions; CBT is commonly used for anxiety, depression, and stress-related concerns. She also uses EMDR for processing trauma memories and reducing their emotional intensity, which can be helpful for those with PTSD or other trauma-related symptoms.

Choosing an approach is collaborative; she works with each person to evaluate which methods fit their history, goals, and comfort level. Initial sessions typically involve learning about a client's needs and trying a few techniques to determine what feels most effective, adjusting the plan as progress unfolds.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to offer flexibility for different lifestyles and schedules. These formats make it easier to maintain continuity of care, access sessions from home or work, and practice skills between meetings while working with a licensed professional in Colorado.
