I am a licensed professional counselor in Connecticut with 17 years of dedicated work experience. I have experience working with primarily the adult population dealing with trauma, loss, stress, and anxiety, adapting to change within the course of life.
I see therapy as a collaborative effort to work with my clients to create solutions. I work with clients providing tools identifying the significance of confidence and self-esteem through empathy, empowerment, and guidance. Through therapy I support navigating workplace obstacles, coping with grief and loss, working though unforeseen situational events, and life transitions.
I believe in treating everyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion. I will tailor our dialogue and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs. It takes courage to seek out a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps towards a change. I am here to support & empower you in that journey.

These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Linda Richardson. We don't pay anyone to provide their review and they are all made voluntarily. Some people's experience receiving therapy with BetterHelp might be different.
Linda has been a real gift of learning for me. She’s a great listener, she’s a real pro at pulling out the emotions and then being able to work on solutions and tools to get better at things.

My time with Linda (and BetterHelp) has been some of the most positively transformative in my life. I signed up for BetterHelp in a time that I was struggling with my relationships with myself and others. Linda guided me through one of the toughest times in my life by helping me to reframe my thinking, supporting me (but also helping me to see other perspectives), and allowing me to be my truest self. It was through her help that I started to learn who that person was again. I'm so so grateful for her kindness, intelligence, wittiness, and empathy. Although I am sure this is not the last therapy I will need in my life, this is the first time (in my many years of therapy) that I feel like I've accomplished my own goals, and goals I didn't know I had. I am eternally grateful. Thank you Linda <3
