About Lynda

Dr. Lynda Cokuslu is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) in Georgia with nine years of clinical experience helping people manage a wide range of challenges.

Background and approach

She draws on evidence-based methods to address concerns such as depression, anxiety, trauma, addiction, grief, relationship and communication issues, self-esteem struggles, career pressures, and ADHD. Her training includes approaches like Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Emotionally-Focused Therapy, and client-centered work, which she weaves together to match each person’s needs.

Her therapeutic stance is compassionate and holistic, oriented toward empowering clients to build resilience, strengthen self-understanding, and develop healthier coping strategies. Dr.

Cokuslu creates a respectful, nonjudgmental space where clients can explore painful experiences, examine patterns that hold them back, and practice new ways of responding to life’s demands. She emphasizes collaboration and practical skills while also attending to deeper meaning and emotional repair.

Clients who value a therapist who integrates structured, evidence-informed techniques with warmth and curiosity may find her approach helpful. She supports people through life transitions, stressors, and ongoing mental health concerns, tailoring care to the individual’s goals and circumstances.

Approaches and Online Care That Fit Your Life



Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters most and take committed steps toward those values while learning to relate differently to difficult thoughts and feelings. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and modifying unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns to reduce symptoms and improve daily functioning. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) centers on understanding emotional responses and strengthening supported emotional connections, which can help with relational and attachment-related concerns.

Choosing the right therapeutic approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each client to explore goals, preferences, and symptoms, then tailor methods that feel most helpful. Clients often try elements from different approaches to see what resonates, and adjustments are made over time to better support progress.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, allowing work to continue despite busy schedules or geographic constraints. These formats make it easier to fit sessions into daily life and to practice skills between meetings, while licensed professionals adapt techniques so they translate effectively to remote settings.
