About Linda Jarels

As a licensed therapist in South Carolina, I bring over two decades of compassionate mental health experience to my practice. My professional journey has been dedicated to supporting individuals navigating complex emotional landscapes, with specialized expertise in depression, anxiety, grief, and life transitions.

I have a deep commitment to working with adults of all ages and providing a supportive, progressive therapeutic environment. My approach centers on understanding each client’s unique experiences and helping them develop meaningful coping strategies. With particular sensitivity to challenges faced by individuals living with chronic health conditions I strive to create a safe, affirming space for healing and personal growth.

My therapeutic style is collaborative and empathetic, focusing on building resilience, enhancing self-esteem, and supporting clients through significant life changes. I believe in meeting each person exactly where they are, offering gentle guidance and evidence-based support tailored to their individual needs and goals.

“The absolute best. Accommodating, helpful, great conversationalist, and very knowledgable in her field. I wouldn't recommend anyone go to anyone else.”

“Linda Jarels is your best therapist, in case you were wondering. I'm very good at trying to dodge important things, and she's even better at redirecting me back to the topic at hand. She is amazingly kind, understanding, knowledgeable, and has so much experience, she can pull therapy tools out of an array of disciplines. I've been at this for FORTY YEARS, and I've made more progress with her than the rest combined. I HIGHLY recommend her for whatever problem or situation you're dealing with.”

“Excellent support and dedication to helping me grow.”

“Dr. Linda is awesome. She's patient, kind, supportive and willing to listen even if it's about things that she may not understand. She always asks questions if she needs clarification but handles it gracefully and with patience. She has helped me navigate the myriad of issues that I've been dealing with in the last few months and I am extremely thankful for the help she has given me. I am glad that I decided to seek out help when I did because she has been invaluable these last few months especially when it's come to the health stuff. And Dr. Linda if you're reading this: Thank you for all that you do!”

“Linda has taken my existence, and helped me work - a lot - to turn it into a happy, pretty normal life. Which, with BiPolar II, Depression, Generalized Anxiety, ADD, and Insomnia is quite the feat. I don't know where I'd be if it wasn't for Linda, her expertise, gentle guidance, and creativity. I don't know where you found her, but you could use at least 10 more of her.”

“Linda is a great therapist because she listens and gives you the honest truth back. That is needed for healing and moving forward. I feel my confidence is building and I am becoming my own person because of her support.”

“She is doing a great job.”

“She's the best. We talk easily, and have great sessions.”

“Linda is a great listener and I really enjoy talking with her”

“I have worked with Linda before and she is direct and offers support like homework or reading material in the areas I need to work on.”

“I have appreciated the last two months with my therapist. On a practical level, she is very responsive and flexible with my busy schedule, so there’s no wasted time.<br /> <br /> On a one on one basis, she is easy going, relatable, and adjusted - meaning she adapts to the conversation and adjusts to what is needed in the moment. I am going through big changes in my life and I am able to better navigate and have more tools to go through them, therefore more confidence. I feel respected and because she has more life experience than me, I feel I can trust her. I had a big a-ha moment last week with a communication tool she shared with me. Something I’ve understood intellectually for years that made its way into a practical everyday tool to better express myself and my needs. It is now up to me to practice and while it is a little mental gymnastics, it is a positive experience and I am very grateful. It has given me more power and confidence. <br /> <br /> Thank you Better Help!”

“Been with linda for over a year and a half and shes absolutely great !”

“Linda is honest and kind. She is very intuitive to your feelings. She is a great guide through things happy and sad. She gives me a lot to think about that is very helpful.”

“She is lovely and very understanding of any issues I have had. She’s cool calm and collected and always sees the light in the darkness that I’m facing.”

“Linda is the most relatable therapist I've ever had. Our personalities mesh well, there's not a lot of "Could you rephrase that?" She knows what I mean, and she's easy to understand. And she has been doing this for quite a while, she's definitely "got the chops" to take on a really complicated set of problems. And they are gradually examined for any connection to anything else, and I've been able to get rid of SEVERAL "baggage cars" on my "brain train." (I ruminate a lot.)<br /> Linda is THE BEST.”
