About Linda
Linda Skoug is an LPC practicing in Wisconsin with 13 years of clinical experience. She helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, and relationship concerns. She also supports those coping with trauma, attachment struggles, and major life changes.
Linda focuses on building a calm, predictable space where people can talk through painful memories and current struggles. She listens for patterns that affect daily life like codependent behaviors, difficulty with intimacy, or recurring worry. Sessions include practical steps people can try between meetings and time to reflect on what feels most helpful.
Her background includes work with people managing grief, addiction, eating issues, bipolar mood concerns, and ADHD. She brings Attachment-Based approaches alongside cognitive tools to reduce unhelpful thinking. Hypnotherapy is also part of her toolkit when appropriate for a person's goals.
Linda aims to help each person identify what matters most and then set small, doable goals. She encourages experiments in the real world and reviews what works and what needs adjusting. This approach helps people build steadier relationships with themselves and others.
People looking to begin can expect straightforward, compassionate conversation and clear next steps. Her practice is located in Wisconsin and sessions are conducted in English.
How attachment work and CBT translate to online sessions
Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationships shape current patterns. It helps people notice how they connect, how they pull away, and how to build more dependable interactions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches skills to change unhelpful thinking and reactions. Hypnotherapy uses guided relaxation and focused attention to help a person access motivation or shift automatic responses when that fits their goals.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, history, and what methods feel comfortable. Together they decide whether attachment work, CBT, hypnotherapy, or a mix makes the most sense for current needs.

Many people find online sessions help fit therapy into a busy life - they can shorten commute time, make scheduling easier around work or parenting, and allow follow-up check-ins without a long trip. Online work also lets the therapist and client try tools and homework that apply directly to daily routines.
