About Linda

Linda Scaturro is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in New York who supports people facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, grief, addiction, trauma, and a wide range of life transitions.

Background and approach

She also addresses concerns such as self-esteem, parenting, career struggles, intimacy-related issues, compassion fatigue, and panic attacks, as well as aging and geriatric matters and blended family dynamics. With 25 years of professional experience, she brings long-term practice in healthcare settings to her therapeutic work.

Her style is conversational, interactive, and down-to-earth, grounded in active listening and a strengths-based, client-centered approach. She integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) alongside mindfulness practices, motivational interviewing, and solution-focused strategies to build practical life skills and coping tools.

Linda emphasizes respect, sensitivity, and compassion while helping clients set goals and explore new perspectives outside their usual support networks. Clients can expect collaborative goal-setting and a focus on skills that translate into everyday life.

She frames therapy as a process of working together to identify priorities and take achievable steps toward greater well-being and renewed purpose.

Approaches That Shape Online Sessions



Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps clients identify unhelpful thought patterns and test practical behavior changes to reduce symptoms like anxiety, panic attacks, and depression. This approach emphasizes skill-building and short-term strategies to manage day-to-day challenges.

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening with empathy and creating a supportive environment where clients set the pace and priorities. It helps people explore values, relationships, and self-esteem while feeling heard and respected.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and the therapist works collaboratively with each person to determine what methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences. Sessions often blend techniques so that treatment is tailored and responsive rather than fixed.

Online therapy with this practitioner is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, allowing flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These formats make it easier to maintain continuity of care while balancing work, family, and other responsibilities, and they provide multiple ways to engage in skill-building and goal work from wherever a client is located in New York.
