Linda Suzette Danks, LCSW

Linda Suzette Danks is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in Oklahoma with four years of professional practice in clinical settings. She also holds certification as a Certified Clinical Trauma Professional (CCTP), a credential that reflects additional training in working with trauma and its lasting effects.

In addition to her clinical years, Linda brings more than three decades of community experience leading youth groups for millennials, which informs her understanding of life stage challenges and interpersonal dynamics. A trauma survivor herself, she specializes in supporting people with complex PTSD (C-PTSD) and PTSD, drawing on both training and lived experience to guide recovery.

Her clinical focus includes stress and anxiety, relationship and attachment concerns, trauma and abuse, self-esteem and confidence, and depression. She also works with a range of related issues such as abandonment, caregiver stress, chronic illness and pain, family of origin conflicts, and end-of-life and hospice concerns.

Linda aims to create an open, nonjudgmental space where clients can explore thoughts and feelings and build practical strategies for coping and growth. She recognizes that beginning therapy requires courage and offers steady support as clients take that first step toward change.

Trauma-informed and skills-based online care

Linda often uses trauma-focused therapy to address the lasting effects of traumatic experiences. This approach helps clients process traumatic memories and reduce symptoms associated with PTSD and complex PTSD by focusing treatment on the specific impact of trauma.

She also employs skills-based strategies that teach practical tools for managing anxiety, stress, and mood. These techniques equip clients with coping skills for regulation, problem solving, and improving day-to-day functioning.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Linda collaborates with each person to identify which methods match their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting the plan over time to ensure a good therapeutic fit.

Online sessions by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and to access support across distances. These options provide flexibility in scheduling and in how clients choose to engage, allowing consistent progress even when in-person visits are not possible.
