About Linda
Linda Hazel is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with 35 years of clinical experience in Tennessee. She has worked extensively helping people manage addictions, relationship difficulties, family conflict, trauma and abuse, and intimacy-related concerns. Linda approaches each person with respect for their story and the strengths they already bring to change.
She sees the choice to seek help as a brave step and aims to offer steady support through that process.
Background and approach
Sessions focus on practical steps that fit a person’s life. Linda listens closely and helps people name goals and try manageable changes between meetings. Her work draws on several common therapy approaches.
She uses tools from cognitive behavioral therapy to identify unhelpful patterns and acceptance and commitment therapy to build values-focused action. Attachment-based and emotionally-focused ideas guide work on close relationships and connection. Clients can expect a collaborative style that centers their priorities.
Linda helps people sort through complicated feelings, make decisions about relationships, and address patterns that can feed addiction or hurt family life. She also supports those dealing with medical or caregiving strain. Over decades of practice she has learned to mix straightforward problem-solving with time to process emotions.
The intention is steady progress rather than quick fixes. Linda meets people where they are and helps them move toward clearer choices and more satisfying connection.

Online support
How therapeutic approaches fit into online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that match their values. It can be useful for addiction, ongoing stress, and decisions that feel stuck. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on spotting patterns of thinking and behavior that keep problems going and then testing new ways of responding. It works well for anxiety, depression, and relationship patterns. Emotionally-Focused Therapy centers on connection and the emotions that drive how people relate to others, which can be helpful for relationship and intimacy concerns.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist and client will talk about goals, try methods, and adjust as needed. That collaborative process means techniques can shift over time to match what helps most.
Online therapy offers flexibility in how sessions happen. Video calls let people meet face-to-face even when travel is difficult. Phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth is limited or for shorter check-ins. Live chat and text messaging allow ongoing contact between sessions for brief updates or to process steps during the week. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives and to continue work even when schedules or distance would otherwise get in the way.
