Linda Levinson, LPCC

Linda Levinson is an Ohio LPCC with ten years of clinical experience. She began her work after earning a dual degree in mental health and substance abuse treatment and has spent much of her career supporting people moving past addiction and co-occurring issues.

She helped many clients recover from opioid dependence and related disorders. That early work also led to experience with trauma, stress, depression, low self-confidence, guilt and shame, anger, and anxiety. Over time she developed experience addressing process addictions such as shopping, video gaming, Internet use, exercise, gambling, and sex and love addictions.

Levinson has worked with people in the LGBTQIA community and supports clients navigating sexual identity, sexual trauma, grief, or dysfunction. She also works with clients who are exploring open or non-monogamous relationships. She lists blended family issues among her additional focus areas and can help people managing the practical and emotional challenges that come with merging households.

Her approach draws on several evidence-informed methods to fit the client’s current needs. Sessions focus on identifying what is holding a person back and using past strengths to move toward concrete goals. She mixes skills-based work with reflective conversation depending on what seems most helpful.

Clients can expect direct, practical collaboration on problems such as addiction, relationship questions, parenting stresses, mood concerns, and life transitions. She frames work around clear steps and measurable progress rather than abstract promises.
