Couples Counseling Therapists in Blair, NE

My name is Linda Degner and I have lived in several different places across the US finally landing in Nebraska in 2014. I believe that inviting a therapist into your life takes courage and I take that honor very seriously. I am trained in EMDR (Eye Movement Reprocessing and Desensitization), PCIT (Parent Child Interaction Therapy), Theraplay, and TF-CBT (Trauma Focused Cognitive Behavior Therapy). I have significant experience working with victims of sexual abuse, physical abuse and neglect, children in foster care, couples , and Christian Counseling.

Everyone encounters challenges in their life that may feel overwhelming. Seeking counseling during these times is a sign of strength, as it suggests the willingness to address problems rather than avoid them. I teach solution-focused tools that clients can use in the real world. I have a collaborative approach with my clients and believe humor and empowerment are key components to therapy. If stressful thoughts are keeping you up at night, it may be a sign that you're ready tackle the things that are holding you back. I would like to help.

Beginning this process is the most difficult step! I take an approach to therapy with empathy in the forefront and finding a solution as the goal. Often times people struggle with their thoughts and outlook does not match the life they hope for themselves. Therapy exists to heal and process this disconnect.

I enjoy using my knowledge of human development and family systems to serve my clients' unique needs. In addition, my experience with children, adults and families helps to cultivate an environment of growth for my clients. I give unconditional regard to all of my clients, and walk with them on their individual journeys. Personal growth can sometimes be uncomfortable, but I assure you, you do not have to experience it alone. Going through discomfort is part of the growth process, and you will be stronger because of it! My hope is that each person I work with will gain insight from guided self-exploration and goal setting.

I help clients realize what powerful resources they have within themselves to achieve their goals, to solve their problems, and to heal. My clients frequently discover options they did not realize they had. I do this by using a variety of approaches, tailored to the person's past experiences, the issues the client is trying to resolve and the objectives the person is trying to achieve. My goal is to help individuals move toward a greater mind/body/spirit connection within themselves and toward enriched relationships with others.
