About Linda
Linda Hazel is a licensed marriage and family therapist with 35 years of clinical experience in Tennessee. She focuses on helping people manage addictions, relationship struggles, family conflict, trauma and abuse, and intimacy-related issues. Linda frames clients as the experts on their own stories and aims to support their efforts to make change. She encourages people to take the first step toward a more fulfilling life and offers steady guidance along the way.
Her background spans many settings and common life challenges. She helps people navigate abandonment, attachment concerns, blended family tensions, and the stress that comes with caregiving. She also supports those facing chronic illness, body-image worries, divorce and separation, and issues tied to substance use.
Linda uses a mix of practical therapies to match the person in front of her. She draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help clients clarify values and take committed action. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is used to identify and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. Attachment-based and emotionally-focused work are part of sessions when relationship patterns and connection are central.
Sessions are conversational and centered on the client's goals. Linda listens, offers clear feedback, and suggests steps people can try between meetings. Many clients find this blend helpful for both immediate problems and longer-term growth.

Therapeutic approaches and online care
Linda often uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people name what matters most and take small actions that align with those values. ACT can help when worry, avoidance, or stuck patterns keep someone from living the life they want. She also uses Attachment-Based Therapy to look at how early relationships shape current patterns of connection. That approach is useful for people dealing with trust, closeness, or codependency concerns. Emotionally-Focused Therapy is another option when relationship emotions and healing are central to the work, helping people recognize and shift interaction cycles.Finding the right approach is part of the process and a collaborative effort. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust the plan as needed based on what actually helps.
The biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm the available options before booking. In general, online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, avoid travel time, and use shorter check-ins when that suits a schedule. Talk with the therapist about what will work best for your routine and goals so sessions fall into your life in a manageable way.
