With 32 years of helping people navigate life's hardest moments, I bring both depth of experience and warmth to every session. I'm Linda Thomas, a Licensed Master Social Worker and Black therapist practicing in Michigan, and I offer telehealth therapy that fits around your real life. Whether you're working through anxiety, grief, trauma, or a season that feels too heavy to carry alone, I'd love to help you find your footing again.
My approach is collaborative, and evidence-based, meaning I don't just listen, I work with you. Depending on what you're dealing with, we might use CBT to catch and reframe thought patterns that spiral, Trauma-Focused CBT to process painful experiences at a pace that feels right for your nervous system, or Motivational Interviewing when you feel stuck between knowing what you want and actually moving toward it. I adapt to you — not the other way around. The goal is always something you can feel, not just describe.
Our first session is a chance to get to know each other. I'll ask about what brought you here, what has worked in the past, and what you're hoping for. You don't need to have everything figured out before we meet. Most people leave that first session feeling genuinely heard and a little lighter, knowing they've taken a real step.
