Getting to know Linda Pitale

My name is Linda Pitale. I am an LCSW, Licensed Social Worker, in New Jersey where I will be providing virtual therapy to adults and teens. I work with all ages of the adult population, including the elderly. I work with school age children virtually if they have sufficient attention span. My approach My approach to therapy will be suited to meet your individual needs. I feel it is an honor to assist you in your exploring opportunities to gain insight and effective coping skills to enjoy a more rewarding life. I utilize various theoretical approaches, including, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Psychotherapy, and Positive Psychology. My focus I work with clients struggling with anxiety and depression, psychotic symptoms and suicidal ideation. Anger management and trama treatment, as well as ADHD in children and adults are also areas of focus. Parenting skills, communication skills and coping with both family and work relationships are other areas of focus. Support in coping with medical conditions is another area of expertise. My communication style It is most important that a client feels safe with me. Knowing they can trust me with anything they tell me is essential. Safety and trust are the foundation of our collaborative work. I tend to be supportive and encouraging, aware that it is challenging to change our patterns of interacting. I help clients develop insight as they understand how and why these behaviors once helpful, are no longer effective. Developing new patterns of behaviors is rewarding. My journey to mental healthcare I had a professor in graduate school, who said that Social Work is a calling. I agree with that statement. As long as I can recall I wanted to help people. I recall helping neighbors as a child as I ran errands in summer heat and when streets were icy. My friends and family often came to me for advise in high school and throughout my years of teaching.
