Background and approach
She earned a master’s degree in Educational Leadership, Guidance and Counseling from the University of New Orleans. Linda holds LPC licensure in Louisiana and Alaska and uses that background to shape tailored plans for each person. Her approach centers on the client and on clear goals.
She uses Client-Centered methods alongside Cognitive Behavioral techniques and Dialectical Behavior ideas to address mood disorders, anger, and self-esteem concerns. Mindfulness and hypnotherapy are also part of her toolbox when they fit a person’s needs. Sessions focus on identifying realistic goals, building coping skills, and practicing new ways of responding to stress.
Linda also supports people facing adoption and foster care issues, caregiver strain, chronic illness, and fertility or bereavement concerns. She encourages steady progress and small wins along the way. Linda works with adults who want practical support and emotional insight.
She offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Her style is warm, goal-oriented, and respectful of each person’s pace and priorities.
How Linda’s Approaches Work Online
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the person’s own goals and lived experience, with the therapist offering empathy and reflection to help clarify priorities and next steps. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts and behaviors interact and uses practical exercises to reduce anxiety and depressive patterns. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) adds skills for emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and improved communication to help manage strong emotions and relationship strain.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Linda will listen to what matters most to the client, try techniques that match those priorities, and adjust the plan over time. Working together helps identify which methods feel useful and which need fine tuning.
Online therapy offers flexibility for busy lives. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and exercises that benefit from visual cues. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or for shorter check-ins. Live chat or text messaging can support quick skill practice, brief coaching, or ongoing touchpoints between sessions. These options make it simpler to fit work on coping skills and life changes into a real schedule.
