About me

Hi there. Thank you for being curious about my profile. I appreciate the difficulty involved in reaching out for help and support.
I lived in Rhode Island and had a therapy practice in Bristol, RI for years. I relocated to Salem, New Hampshire in 2019. I hold a license in NH. My license number is 2097 with the NH Board of Mental Health Practice.
I have had a long career in human services and have had my own practice as a therapist for over 10 years. I am a mature therapist, both in years and experience.
My experience has been with individuals with anxiety, panic symptoms, fears and phobias, depression symptoms such as low motivation, family and relationship stress, and self-esteem and confidence issues. I also have experience with the grief process.
My approach is first to establish trust with you, then to help you crystallize what you want to be different in your life. After you have that clarity, we will add tools to your toolbox that you can use to make the changes you desire.
I have a clinical supervisor with whom I discuss symptoms. I do not disclose any identifying information so as to protect confidentiality for my clients. Most clinicians have regular supervision and I feel it is necessary to have another professional's perspective, advice, and support as part of my career. When you sign the agreement to work with me you are agreeing to my continued professional relationship with my supervisor that may include discussing one or more of your symptoms. And you are also benefitting from another experienced clinician's advice. Unless I were to have a signed release from you, I am ethically prohibited from disclosing any personal information of yours that would identify you.
It’s not easy making changes in our lives, but I will give you the support, encouragement, strategies and feedback along the way that will make the process easier and more likely that you will succeed with your goals.

Reviews

These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Linda O'Malley. We don't pay anyone to provide their review and they are all made voluntarily. Some people's experience receiving therapy with BetterHelp might be different.

I have just started with Linda O'Malley it's been a couple of sessions going on my third. I feel much more at ease with her than I have with any therapist in along time which has kept me from going. I have made great strides in my last 2 weeks in my relationship and my anxiety and depression speaking with her. I have a great feeling moving ahead

Caring, she has a soft brightness to her

Linda has been extremely helpful to my growth and development over the past several years. She is kind, understanding, empathetic, and challenges me to look at situations through a different lense. I look forward to our sessions every week!

Linda is wonderful. She listens and validates, but also challenges me when I have a blind spot. I’ve really enjoyed working with her in my goals!

Linda always follows up with me- even when I am too distracted or if I forget to reply. She also always shares positive affirmations which apply to my situation.

Linda has helped guide me through major transitions in my life and I couldn't recommend her more!
