About LinTiya

LinTiya McCleary is a licensed counselor practicing with five years of professional experience and holding LPC and LCMHC credentials. She focuses on helping people navigate stress, anxiety, relationship and family concerns, and challenges with self-esteem and depression.

Background and approach

Her approach combines practical strategies with an empathetic presence to help clients explore patterns that maintain distress and build skills for change. She draws on a range of methods including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, and client-centered principles to shape conversations and treatment plans around each person's goals.

LinTiya aims to listen without judgment and to tailor interventions to what fits best for an individual's situation. She encourages small, manageable steps toward a more meaningful and satisfying life while supporting clients through the courage it takes to begin that work.

Approaches that guide online work and flexibility

LinTiya frequently integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy into her online sessions. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thought and behavior patterns and teaching concrete skills to shift them, which is often useful for anxiety, mood concerns, and social fears. ACT emphasizes values-driven action and present-moment awareness, helping clients tolerate difficult thoughts and build a meaningful life even when discomfort is present.

She also brings client-centered principles into remote work, offering a respectful, nonjudgmental space where the client's goals shape the process. Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the work; she collaborates with each person to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, and adjusts the plan as progress unfolds.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase accessibility and fit varied schedules. These options allow clients to engage from different locations, maintain continuity between meetings, and choose formats that feel most comfortable for practicing skills and processing concerns.
