Linda Sharples, LMFT

Linda Sharples, LMFT

Psychotherapist
CA
Hi, my name is Linda Sharples, and I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT). I am based in Murrieta but provide therapy statewide via telehealth. I work with individuals, couples, and families addressing anxiety, depression, family dysfunction, and stress from life transitions. My approach I tailor my approach to each client, utilizing Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Psychodynamic, and Structural Family Therapy. I provide a safe environment through empathy and positive regard, helping clients understand their issues and build coping skills to reduce symptoms and increase healthy functioning. My focus I have experience with serious illnesses such as cancer, dementia, and end-of-life issues. I have worked extensively with young people transitioning into adulthood and enjoy working with children using play therapy. I have training in Gottman couples therapy and am certified in Prepare/Enrich marriage therapy. As a committed Christian, I can offer a biblical approach if requested. My communication style My style is calm, empathetic, and non-judgmental. I create a safe environment and take time to build trust, allowing clients to be honest and open in therapy. My journey to mental healthcare After raising my children to adulthood, I pursued a second career. Drawn to helping people and having experienced therapy’s effectiveness, I became a therapist. Being a “mature” student was challenging, but now I help clients overcome problems and become their best selves, which is priceless. Education I earned my Master’s in Counseling Psychology from California Baptist University, providing a strong foundation for my clinical work. My goals for you I work with clients to define their therapy expectations, establish goals, and track progress.
