LINDA FONG

LCSW

Linda is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with seven years of experience supporting adults and families. Originally from Oregon, she has called Hawaiʻi home for decades and earned both her Bachelor of Science in Psychology and her Masters in Social Work from the University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa. Linda has a special interest in palliative care and bereavement, with a focus on life transitions, coping, anxiety, adaptation, depression, and grief and loss.

​

Her approach is person-centered and solution-focused, blending therapy and clear goal setting with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Motivational Interviewing, and mindfulness practices to tailor care to each individual’s needs. She aims to create a steady, compassionate space where clients can find clarity, build resilience, and move forward with greater ease.

​

Outside of work, Linda enjoys all things outdoors—hiking, ocean swimming, and camping—as well as yoga, photography, reading, and traveling to experience new cultures and meet new people.
