Linda King-Bronner, LCSW

Linda King-Bronner is a New York licensed clinical social worker with 30 years of experience helping people manage addictions, family conflict, career stress, and major life changes. She focuses on practical steps that people can use right away. Her approach is respectful and compassionate, and she adapts conversations to each person's needs.

Clients can expect straightforward talk about goals and obstacles. Linda listens first, then helps identify small shifts in thinking and behavior that reduce stress and build momentum. She uses a mix of tools drawn from cognitive behavioral approaches and acceptance-based work to address patterns that get in the way.

Her style is collaborative and down-to-earth. Sessions often include clear techniques to reframe thoughts, practice new responses, and reconnect with what matters. She also pays attention to attachment patterns and emotions that influence relationships and decision making.

Over three decades she has worked with a wide range of concerns including compassion fatigue, caregiver strain, body image, chronic illness, and issues related to adoption and abandonment. She tailors plans to the situation, whether someone needs help with a specific problem or wants support through a big life transition.

Linda welcomes questions about how therapy might fit into daily life. She helps people break large problems into manageable steps and supports them as they try new ways of coping and relating.

Practical approaches for online therapy and connection

Linda uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and try different responses. CBT often focuses on small experiments and skills you can practice between sessions to reduce anxiety, break cycles of avoidance, or change behaviors that feed addictions.

She also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, which helps people clarify what matters most and take action even when uncomfortable feelings show up. ACT can be useful for coping with chronic stress, life changes, and ongoing challenges that don't have quick fixes. Attachment-Based Therapy is used to look at relationship patterns and how early bonds shape current reactions, which can help with family tensions and commitment worries.

Linda treats finding the right approach as a team effort. She will talk with clients about goals, try different techniques, and adjust the plan based on what feels most helpful and doable. The therapist and client decide together which methods to emphasize.

Online sessions are available by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging, which makes it easier to fit therapy into a busy life. Video allows face-to-face conversation; phone works well when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging can help maintain momentum between sessions or suit people who prefer writing to talking.
