About Linda
Dr. Linda l Peoples is an LPC (Licensed Professional Counselor) based in Tennessee with 21 years of experience. She works with adults on stress, anxiety, anger, self-esteem, depression, grief, and career concerns. She also supports people facing trauma, compassion fatigue, intimacy-related issues, relationship and family questions, and first responder issues.
She uses straightforward counseling to help people sort through confusing or frustrating situations. Sessions focus on clear goals and practical steps. People talk through decisions, develop coping skills, and practice ways to manage strong feelings like anger or anxiety.
Her work draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thinking patterns and try new behaviors. Mindfulness techniques are also used to help someone stay present and reduce reactivity. Together these approaches aim to reduce intense reactions and build steady ways of handling stress.
Dr. Peoples describes counseling as a chance to gain another perspective and find workable next steps. She emphasizes everyday changes you can use between sessions. The pace and focus are shaped by what each person needs.
Since the COVID-19 period she has offered sessions by tele-health video or telephone. Before scheduling, people are invited to confirm the current session options and any details about how sessions are run.
How sessions work
How CBT and Mindfulness translate to online sessions
CBT focuses on spotting and changing thought patterns that increase anger or anxiety. Online sessions usually involve talking through recent situations, identifying thoughts that escalate emotion, and planning small behavior changes to try between visits.Mindfulness Therapy emphasizes simple attention practices to notice feelings without acting on them immediately. In an online setting this can include brief guided exercises and everyday strategies to reduce reactivity when stress rises.
Finding the right mix of methods is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which approach or combination fits their goals and day-to-day life. That decision is revisited as progress is made.
The biography indicates sessions have been offered by tele-health video or telephone since COVID-19. If you are unsure which options are currently available, confirm the session formats before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counseling into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time so work or family commitments are easier to manage.
