About Linda
Linda King-Bronner is a licensed clinical social worker with 30 years of experience helping people manage addictions, family conflict, career stress, and major life changes. She approaches each person with respect, sensitivity, and steady support. Her style is practical and direct, aimed at helping people take the first steps toward change.
Linda adapts conversations and plans to fit each person's situation. She listens for the stories that shape how someone sees themselves and their choices.
Background and approach
Together they look for small, usable changes that build confidence and forward movement. Her work draws on Narrative ideas that separate a person from their problem. She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to clarify values and guide actions.
Attachment-based thinking helps when relationships and early patterns are central concerns. Sessions are collaborative and down-to-earth. People can expect questions that uncover patterns and invitations to try new behaviors between meetings.
The focus is on realistic steps rather than abstract theory. Linda has supported clients across many life stages and challenges over three decades. She tailors support for issues like abandonment, adoption and foster care concerns, blended family dynamics, caregiving strain, chronic illness, body image, and commitment or codependency struggles.
Her practice is based in New York and she meets with people in English.

Online session options
Approaches that shape online sessions
Linda often draws on Narrative Therapy to help people separate themselves from problems and rewrite the stories that hold them back. This can be useful for issues like addictions, family patterns, or long-standing self-judgments. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, is also part of her work and focuses on clarifying values and taking committed action even when hard feelings are present. That approach helps with life transitions, career decisions, and coping with chronic stress. Attachment-Based Therapy informs conversations when relationship patterns and early experiences affect current behavior and connection.Finding the right approach is a shared process. Linda works collaboratively to identify which ideas and exercises fit a person's needs and goals. She adjusts methods over time based on what helps the person make practical progress and feel more in control of daily choices.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet. Video calls let you see and hear facial cues and body language. Phone sessions can be easier when lower bandwidth is needed or when you prefer not to be on camera. Live chat and text-based messaging are useful for quick check-ins, short reflections, or when fitting therapy into a busy day. These options make it simpler to keep momentum between sessions and to choose formats that match your routine.
