I’m a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist providing telehealth therapy to adults and couples in South Carolina and Florida. I work with individuals and couples who feel emotionally stuck, overwhelmed, or disconnected—often related to relationship stress, anxiety, life transitions, or faith-related concerns.

My professional background is rooted in relational and systems-based therapy, with focused experience in working with couples, marital conflict, communication breakdowns, emotional regulation, and identity or self-worth concerns. I frequently support clients navigating separation decisions, trust issues, chronic stress, and relational uncertainty.

For clients who desire it, I also offer a biblically based, psychologically and therapeutically validated approach, thoughtfully integrating faith with evidence-based clinical care.

Psychiatric Mental Health NP

Virtual & in-person • North Charleston, SC


Hello and welcome! I am a Master's level dual board certified Family Nurse Practitioner and Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner. Medication management is my specialty, and supportive therapy is part of every visit. I have experience with veterans, adults with developmental and intellectual disabilities, TBI, severe and persistent mental illness, pregnant women, transient/low income populations, Indian Health Services, geriatrics, trauma, and LGBTQIA2S+ patients.

I am a person who understands the stress that comes with multitasking life's many responsibilities including parenting, work, a spouse, women's health, and the many other hats we sometimes wear. I know the familiar strain of working in the medical field, providing care for others while delicately balancing self care. I can appreciate the layers of complexity of being multicultural. I know the burden of military life with a military spouse (now retired!) and the impact of deployments on families, loss included. I know the heaviness of caring for a family member with special needs, and am well versed in many things life may throw our way. I would be honored to support you as you navigate the tougher paths in your life.

Dr. Linda Wickens

Therapist

Virtual • South Carolina


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.
