Dr. Linda Visaggi is a licensed clinical social worker with 28 years of practice who assists adults, couples, and families through a wide range of life challenges.

Background and approach

Her work addresses stress, anxiety, depression, grief, relationship and family difficulties, addictions, trauma and abuse, parenting and intimacy-related concerns, ADHD, career questions, and compassion fatigue, among many other areas. She also brings experience with aging and geriatric issues, autism spectrum concerns, blended family dynamics, caregiver stress, and end-of-life and hospice-related topics.

Her style blends warmth, openness, and encouragement with practical strategies that clients can use between sessions. Dr.

Visaggi draws on client-centered principles to prioritize each person's perspectives, and she uses cognitive behavioral techniques and mindfulness practices to help people reframe thinking patterns and build coping skills. Solution-focused methods are added to identify immediate goals and steps toward change.

Licensed in Florida and Virginia, she combines long experience with adaptable, research-informed methods to help clients move from hope to clearly defined tools and strategies for lasting progress.

Online Therapy Using Practical, Evidence-Informed Methods

Dr. Visaggi commonly integrates cognitive behavioral techniques and client-centered principles when working online. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new ways of thinking and behaving to reduce symptoms like anxiety and depression in everyday life. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a collaborative, empathetic relationship where the therapist listens deeply and helps clients clarify their own priorities and strengths.

Determining the best therapeutic approach is a collaborative process. She works with each person to weigh their needs, goals, and preferences and tailors a plan that may combine these approaches so clients can practice useful skills between sessions and track progress together.

Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, which can make therapy more flexible for busy schedules, mobility limits, or geographically distant clients. These options allow ongoing access to a licensed professional while maintaining the ability to use CBT exercises, mindfulness practices, and solution-focused steps in formats that fit individual routines.
