Hello my name is Linda Jarels and I am a licensed professional counselor with undergraduate and graduate degrees in psychology and over 20 years of experience in mental health treatment. I have worked with a variety of persons from children to the elderly and in various settings including residential treatment and inpatient acute psychiatric facilities. My experience includes not only direct patient care but psychometric testing/evaluation to adjunct college professorship. I am passionate about human behavior and have known since my early years what my life's work would be. I truly love the role of counselor and my patients; I find everyone's situation unique and do my best to help the patient navigate their way through their challenges. I use cognitive based approaches when appropriate but otherwise, tailor treatment to the individuals needs as no one approach is appropriate in all circumstances, I consider myself experienced and compassionate and welcome the opportunity to provide quality care.

I enjoy focusing on process/insight-oriented modalities and feel the excitement as my client achieves an “aha” moment in the therapeutic process. I am comfortable looking into family of origin topics as well as end of life issues. Because of my health background I am also comfortable dealing with medical issues and take a more holistic approach to clients. I do believe that alternative therapies including somatic therapy can be helpful in the therapeutic process. I have spent most of my career continually learning new techniques and theories to provide the best care of my clients. I have a tool box of helping techniques which are based on evidence based theories to include cognitive behavioral therapy, psychodynamic therapy, solution focused therapy, Socratic Questioning, and ACT (Acceptance and Commitment Therapy).

Imagine that little voice in your head telling you you're not good enough. That it’s all your fault. Making you relive the worst days of your life. The intrusive thoughts that cause you to question your every movement and tell you to participate in seemingly odd behaviors - or else. Notice how you have tried so hard to make it go away, but you can’t seem to shake the feeling of being stuck. My goal as your therapist is to help YOU run the show. Not your inner dialogue, your past, or your fears. I specialize in IFS, guiding clients to reconnect with and nurture their wounded parts in a safe environment. By utilizing EMDR for trauma processing, I help clients reclaim their narratives and build resilience. I also incorporate ACT to assist clients in identifying core values and taking aligned actions for a more fulfilling, meaningful life journey. Each session is a collaborative process, tailored to your unique needs and goals. Clients often leave feeling relieved and empowered, equipped with new skills or fresh perspectives that transform how they approach challenges. This shift can open new possibilities for personal growth and understanding, helping you navigate your circumstances more effectively.

I am a licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker in South Carolina with 4 years of professional work experience. I have experience helping clients with stress and anxiety, relationship issues, family conflicts, & motivation, self esteem, and confidence. I have worked with teenagers within the criminal justice system and facilitated psycho-education groups with mandated clients suffering from addiction. I later shifted to working with caregivers of and individuals receiving hospice and home health care. I worked with these individuals to prioritize needs, pursue needed resources, engage in long-term care planning, cope with chronic illness, and address dysfunctional family systems. Most recently, I have worked with Veterans' and their families in a health care setting. I have found each of the populations I have worked with engaging and rewarding in their own way. I believe, regardless of age, people are people. While our specific needs and priorities may change throughout our life, we all need unconditional positive regard as a foundation of any healthy supportive relationship. Working with unique and diverse groups has further ingrained in me the numerous systemic barriers that individuals of different ages, genders, religions, races, and sexual orientations face. Programs and services I am most familiar with include, Medicare, Medicaid, Health insurance, In-patient rehabilitation services, Nursing home care, Assisted living, Independent living, In-home care, Home-health, Hospice care, Veteran's benefits administration, Veteran's health administration, Addiction rehabilitation services, SNAP Food Stamps, and Income-based housing. My approach to client care is patient-centered, strength-based, trauma informed, advocacy. Therapeutic interventions and clinical skills I have the most training in include Cognitive behavioral therapy, Suicide prevention, SBIRT, active listening, and motivational interviewing. However, I recognize that trauma and family dynamics impact individuals throughout their life. My clients have described me as approachable, straight forward, non-judgmental, caring, and as a good listener. I am a big believer of practice what you preach. I know from personal experience the amount of courage and resilience it takes to take the first step of recognizing you need support, to finding a counselor that is a good fit, and showing up for yourself in and out of therapy. If you are ready to take that step with me or simply talk about what therapy is like, what to look for, and what your needs are; I am here for you.
