About Linda
Linda Griffin is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 39 years of experience in counseling. She practices in Louisiana and works with adults on concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship issues, eating and body image problems, and anger.
Her background includes many years in education. She was a secondary and post-secondary teacher, served as director of counseling services, and worked as a university dean of student development. Those roles shaped how she teaches skills in sessions and why skill building is central to her work.
Linda describes therapy like riding a tandem bicycle. The client steers and sets the direction. She rides alongside, offering information, encouragement, and guidance as needed.
Her main methods include client-centered work, cognitive behavioral techniques, and motivational interviewing. She adjusts these approaches to fit what each person needs and focuses on helping people define clear goals and practical steps to reach them.
In sessions she helps people clarify what they want to change, set objectives, and identify interventions to try between meetings. Topics she commonly addresses include grief and loss, career questions, self-esteem, family of origin concerns, and issues related to gender and sexual identity.
People who prefer a direct, skills-based style that still leaves them in charge of the process tend to find her approach useful. To begin, readers are asked to use the site flow to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting what matters to the client. It helps when people want to set their own pace and priorities. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at thinking and behavior patterns and teaches practical skills to reduce anxiety, manage anger, and change unhelpful routines. Motivational Interviewing is a short-term, goal-focused way to strengthen a person’s own reasons for change and reduce resistance.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust them as progress or new issues appear.
Confirm the available online session formats before booking, since formats are not listed in this profile. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counseling into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. They can also let a person continue work on stress, anger, or life transitions without rearranging large parts of their day. Licensed professionals tailor session pacing and homework to what fits a client’s routine.
