About Linda
Linda Hazel is a licensed marriage and family therapist with 35 years of practice in Tennessee. She draws on long experience helping people untangle addiction, relationship strain, family conflict, trauma, and intimacy-related concerns. Linda treats each person as the expert on their own life and looks for strengths to build on during therapy.
Her work often focuses on patterns that connect people and the systems around them. That means looking at how relationships, roles, and communication keep problems going, then testing small changes to shift those patterns.
Background and approach
She uses clear, practical strategies so clients can try new ways of relating and coping between sessions. Linda also uses tools from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people live by their values even when feelings are hard. Attachment-based ideas guide conversations about trust, safety, and closeness.
Cognitive Behavioral approaches are used to spot unhelpful thoughts and try more flexible ways of thinking. Sessions aim to be collaborative and straightforward. Linda listens for what matters most to each person and adapts the work to match those goals.
She supports people through decisions like separation, managing addiction, or recovering after abuse. Many clients bring worries about caregiving, chronic illness, blended family tensions, or changes that come with aging. Linda combines relational insight with doable steps so people can make progress at a pace that fits their life.

Online support
How therapeutic approaches translate to online care
Systemic Therapy looks at how relationships and routines keep problems going and what small shifts might change them. Online sessions can explore communication patterns and role expectations, then practice new interactions between meetings. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, focuses on identifying personal values and taking committed action even when emotions are difficult. In remote work this often means setting value-driven goals and using short exercises or homework that fit into daily life.Finding the right approach is a team effort. The therapist will talk with each person about goals and preferences, then suggest which methods to try first. That plan can be adjusted as the work progresses so the approach matches what actually helps.
Online therapy offers several practical advantages. Video calls let the therapist see interactions and nonverbal cues similar to an in-person visit. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be easier when video isn’t convenient. Live chat or text-based messaging supports quick check-ins, short progress notes, or flexible scheduling during busy days. These options make it easier to fit consistent sessions into life and to practice new skills between meetings.
