I'm a licensed therapist and one of the few clinicians in Alaska with a PhD in

Clinical Sexology — which means I'm trained to hold the full range of human

intimacy, identity, and relationships without judgment. I specialize in

working with LGBTQ+ individuals, couples navigating non-traditional

relationship structures (poly, ENM, kink-affirming care), people in or

connected to the military, and anyone dealing with trauma, addiction,

anxiety, or depression. I've been doing this work since 2013, and I've found

that the clients who come to me are often the ones who've struggled to find

someone who truly gets where they're coming from. I'm not here to

normalize you — you're already whole. I'm here to help you move forward.

Therapist

As a licensed clinical social worker, I believe therapy should meet you where you are while also helping you move toward where you want to be. I often compare therapy to going to the gym: it is dedicated time to strengthen the way you understand and respond to your thoughts, emotions, relationships and behaviors.

My approach is warm, direct and collaborative. You can expect empathy, compassion and acceptance, along with thoughtful questions and practical strategies that help you make meaningful changes. Your needs, experiences and goals will guide our work together.

I support adults and adolescents experiencing depression, anxiety, grief, trauma, addiction, relationship challenges and major life transitions. I also have experience working with concerns related to sexual orientation, identity, suicide prevention, family dynamics and professional stress.

You do not have to have everything figured out before beginning therapy. We can start with what is happening right now and work together from there.

Dr. Linda Wickens

Dr. Linda Wickens

Therapist

Virtual • Alaska


Hi, I’m Dr. Linda Wickens, a doctoral-level therapist and coach who works with individuals navigating stress, life transitions, relationship challenges, and patterns that keep them feeling stuck while preventing forward movement and growth. Many of my clients are high-functioning on the outside but feel overwhelmed, disconnected, or frustrated that change feels harder than it should.

Therapy and coaching with me are never one-size-fits-all. We work collaboratively to create a plan that is specific to you, your goals, and your capacity, adjusting pace and structure as your needs evolve. I focus on helping clients understand their patterns, build emotional awareness, and develop practical skills they can actually use in daily life.

I hold a Doctorate in Social Work and am a fully licensed clinical social worker, with over nine years of experience in the mental health field. My work integrates evidence-based therapy with a coaching-informed lens when appropriate, allowing sessions to be both supportive and goal-oriented while still making space to explore the past and its impact on the present.

Clients often describe my style as warm, direct, and collaborative. As part of my concierge model, clients work directly with me rather than an assistant, and I remain accessible to my clients outside of sessions through secure communication when needed. I believe growth happens through understanding, compassion, and honest conversation, and that progress is most sustainable when care feels personal, intentional, and consistent.

Please Note: I do not provide couples or marriage counseling. I do not treat adolescents under the age of 21. Additionally, I am not able to treat clients who are experiencing active suicidal ideation or self-harm behaviors. If these services are needed, I encourage seeking a provider who specializes in these areas or contacting appropriate crisis resources if immediate support is required.

I believe that you are the expert in your own life. Oftentimes people seek therapy as a way to cope with difficult environments, navigating a complex and rapidly changing world without the support they need to overcome obstacles. I have worked with disenfranchised folks most of my life - many impacted by systems involvement, lack of access to services, homelessness, and intimate partner violence. Past clients have shared they genuinely appreciate having a helping professional who meets them where they are at in life, supports them in achieving realistic goals, and keeps dignity, respect and honesty at the forefront of the work.

I focus mostly on behavior change. That might be a change from how you think about yourself, relationships, work, or something else. I can help you explore that. My role is to support you in believing that change is possible.

I also work in an open-ended environment. There is no contract or set number of sessions. Therapy should be flexible, and everyone's frequency is different. Most people notice growth within 10 sessions.

I am able to evaluate and make diagnoses, and/or support existing diagnoses and work with you for a 'best-fit' solution to your needs. So many come from a past of being told they are 'X, Y, Z" and often misdiagnosed or underdiagnosed.

My goal is to help find a good treatment start point that resonates with you and provide evidence-based treatment to support your needs, goals, and desires to bring relief and remission, joy and hope.

All options on the table including progressive medication management, psychotherapy and counseling, or referrals for other modalities including deepTMS.

Happy patient looking away

Find the right LGBTQ-friendly therapy provider for you

Headway makes it easier to connect with affirming therapists who understand your identity — from finding the right therapist, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.

Factors to Consider When Choosing an LGBTQIA Therapist in Anchorage

Searching for LGBTQIA+ therapists in Anchorage starts with finding care that is affirming, specific, and aligned with what you want to work on. An LGBTQ friendly therapist in Anchorage may support concerns related to identity, gender identity, relationships, family dynamics, anxiety, depression, or life transitions. As you compare options, look for therapists who list experience with LGBTQIA+ affirming therapy in Anchorage, affirmative therapy, gender-diverse care, or World Professional Association for Transgender Health training. These details can help you find a therapist whose background matches your needs.

Anchorage has a meaningful mental health care community, but LGBTQ affirming therapists in Anchorage may be more limited than in larger cities. Virtual appointments can expand your options while still keeping care local to Alaska. In addition to specialty, consider appointment availability, whether the therapist is accepting new patients, and whether their background, identity, or approach matters to you. Reading therapist bios can help you see how they describe their work with LGBTQIA+ populations, including therapy for gender identity in Anchorage, LGBTQ counseling in Anchorage, or LGBTQ couples counseling.

Therapy in Anchorage can be a significant expense without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and understand what you may pay before your first appointment. Headway helps you compare LGBTQIA+ therapists who are accepting new patients, review detailed bios, check virtual and in-person availability, and see your estimated out-of-pocket cost before booking — making it easier to find a therapist who matches your needs, accepts your plan, and is ready to meet.
