Linda Marie Snell is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and Certified Drug and Alcohol Counselor with a practice in Laguna Niguel and Carlsbad. Over the past 8+ years, she has worked with a diverse population of all ages but has found her niche among couples, adults, emerging adults. Linda specializes in helping clients work through past or recent trauma, difficulties in relationships and parenting, substance abuse, including alcohol dependence or general drinking concerns, and mood disorders.
Clients seek Linda’s support when their emotional challenges have evolved into a daily hindrance, manifesting in symptoms like underlying dread, self loathing, lack of motivation and/or emotional disregulation. Others experience sacrificing their own wants and needs in order to please family and friends, but aren’t sure how to establish and maintain stronger boundaries due to a lack of self efficacy and autonomy. Whatever the struggle Linda engages her clients in a collaborative journey to explore whether the expectations one has been adhering to works for them.
Linda understands the importance of emotional safety, attunement, therapeutic alliance, and strives to provide a space in which each client feels understood and secure expressing thoughts, emotions, and disagreements as they arise. She invites you to reach out via email or schedule a free phone consultation to assess fit, and looks forward to hearing more about your personal journey.
