Dr. Linda Visaggi , LCSW

Dr. Linda Visaggi is a licensed clinical social worker with 28 years of experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, grief, relationship concerns, and parenting challenges. She also supports people facing issues related to addiction, trauma, intimacy, self-esteem, career changes, ADHD, and concerns common for older adults and caregivers. Her work includes attention to LGBT issues and blended family dynamics.

She uses a warm, encouraging manner in sessions and focuses on practical steps clients can try between meetings. Conversations aim to clarify goals and build tools that fit everyday life. Sessions often include simple strategies to shift perspective and reduce overwhelm.

Dr. Visaggi draws on client-centered methods to keep the person’s goals central. She mixes that with cognitive behavioral techniques to spot unhelpful thoughts and replace them with workable alternatives. Mindfulness practices are used to calm strong emotions and increase present-moment awareness.

Solution-focused approaches help people identify small changes that lead to quick, noticeable progress. She combines these methods to match the concern and the person’s pace rather than using a one-size-fits-all plan.

She holds LCSW credentials and is licensed in Virginia and Florida. Sessions are offered in English and can be scheduled as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. The subscription-based model for sessions can be canceled at any time.

People who want to start are asked to use the Start Therapy button and complete a short matching questionnaire. Scheduling is then arranged according to the therapist’s availability.

How her approaches work in online sessions

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the person’s goals and values. The therapist listens closely and helps people clarify what matters most while tailoring support to their pace. This approach is useful for anyone who wants a collaborative, respectful process.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at patterns of thinking and behavior that keep problems going. In online sessions this often means identifying unhelpful thoughts, trying new behaviors between sessions, and tracking small changes that reduce anxiety or depression.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk through options, test what helps, and adjust methods based on the client’s needs, goals, and preferences. The process is collaborative and adaptable rather than fixed.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls allow fuller face-to-face interaction, while phone sessions can fit into a work break or require less bandwidth. Live chat and text-based messaging work well for quick check-ins, brief coaching, or when writing feels easier than speaking. These options make it simpler to keep continuity and use the approaches above in ways that fit a person’s day-to-day life.
