About Linda
Linda Hazel is a Tennessee-licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) with 35 years of clinical experience. She works with adults on addictions, relationship and family concerns, trauma and abuse, and intimacy-related issues. Her practice also addresses blended family issues and related challenges such as communication problems, commitment and control concerns, and codependency.
Linda frames therapy around the person's own experience. She treats clients as the expert on their lives and looks for existing strengths to build on. Sessions are practical and focused on clear steps a person can try between meetings. Conversations are direct and aimed at making real changes to daily routines and relationships.
Her background spans long-term clinical work with people facing substance use, domestic violence, and the aftermath of separation and divorce. She also supports those dealing with abandonment, attachment struggles, caregiver stress, chronic illness, and aging concerns. That range means she often helps people untangle overlapping problems rather than treating a single issue in isolation.
Clinically she uses methods from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Attachment-Based Therapy, Emotionally-Focused Therapy, and Client-Centered Therapy. Those approaches guide practical skills work and attention to emotional patterns that keep old problems repeating.
People who contact her should expect clear discussion of goals and steady follow-up. The initial steps are completing a short matching questionnaire and scheduling a first session. Sessions use a subscription model that can be canceled at any time.
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice thoughts without getting stuck and focus on actions that match their values. It can be useful for addictions, anxiety around relationships, and moving forward after loss. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at patterns of thinking and behavior to teach concrete skills that reduce distress and improve daily routines. It is often used for habit change, communication problems, and trauma-related symptoms. Attachment-Based Therapy pays attention to how early relationship patterns shape current interactions and helps people change repeating emotional responses that cause conflict.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit best for their goals and preferences. That may mean trying an approach for a few sessions and adjusting based on what helps most.

Online meetings can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. They also let people practice communication and behavioral changes where they live, so skills transfer directly to everyday interactions.
