About Linn

Linn Aosjia is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist who focuses on helping people navigate stress, anxiety, family difficulties, grief, self-esteem struggles, and major life changes.

Background and approach

With 36 years of clinical experience, she brings a calm, curious presence and practical strategies to clients who are ready to move from feeling overwhelmed toward clearer choices and steadier emotional ground. Linn emphasizes collaboration and respects each person's unique strengths while offering tools for both immediate relief and longer-term growth.

Her approach integrates Internal Family Systems with mindfulness-based practices, existential reflection, hypnotherapy techniques, and acceptance and commitment principles. Linn's style blends warmth and directness so clients can explore difficult emotions without judgment and practice new ways of coping and relating.

She works with a wide range of life concerns including family of origin issues, communication and blended family challenges, caregiving stress, abandonment and attachment issues, and the fallout from divorce, loss, or major transitions. Based in California and licensed as CA LMFT 132115, she offers therapy in English and accepts international clients.

Linn provides video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging so that clients can choose the format that fits their life and availability.

Approaches That Translate Well to Online Therapy



Internal Family Systems (IFS) invites clients to notice and gently engage the different parts that make up their inner experience, helping to reduce inner conflict and build self-leadership; this can be especially useful for addressing anxiety, attachment wounds, and complex family dynamics. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying personal values and learning practical ways to accept difficult thoughts and feelings while committing to meaningful action, which supports coping with stress, grief, and life transitions. Existential Therapy explores questions of meaning, choice, and responsibility, offering a space to examine values and life direction when facing major changes or feelings of emptiness.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Linn will collaborate with each client to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting techniques as progress unfolds and new concerns arise. The process is conversational and tailored rather than one-size-fits-all.

Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility and accessibility. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, maintain continuity during transitions, and choose the communication style that feels most comfortable for ongoing care with a licensed professional.
