About Linda
Linda Griffin is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) licensed in Louisiana with 39 years of experience. She draws on a long career in education and counseling leadership to help people cope with stress, anxiety, depression, eating and self-esteem concerns, relationship and family questions, grief, trauma, and related issues.
Her background includes roles in secondary and post-secondary teaching, directing counseling services, and student development leadership. That mix of classroom and administrative work shaped how she teaches skills in sessions. She focuses on building practical self-efficacy – skills people can use between meetings.
In sessions she sees the person as the driver of change. She listens, offers information, and suggests options while clients decide the direction of work. She names goals, breaks them into steps, and checks progress together.
Her typical methods include client-centered work, cognitive behavioral strategies, and motivational interviewing. She adapts techniques to the problem at hand rather than sticking rigidly to one model. That means a session might include problem-solving, thought records, or goal-setting depending on what a client needs.
She has worked with concerns tied to identity and relationships, including LGBT and gender dysphoria topics, as well as life-stage issues such as midlife questions, caregiving stress, and aging-related matters. Her approach emphasizes practical tools and clear goals to help people manage everyday strains at home and work.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online work
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and letting the person lead. In practice this means the therapist reflects what matters to the client, helps clarify goals, and follows the client’s pace. It is useful when someone needs to talk through relationship or identity questions and decide next steps.Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) targets patterns of thinking and behavior that keep problems active. Online CBT can include tracking thoughts, trying new behaviors between sessions, and reviewing results together. This approach is often used for anxiety, depression, eating-related concerns, and anger management.
Motivational interviewing helps when someone feels unsure about change. It uses short, guided conversations to explore ambivalence and strengthen motivation for a specific goal, such as changing eating habits or addressing relationship patterns.
Finding the best approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to select and adjust methods based on needs, goals, and preferences. That means approaches may shift over time as progress and priorities change.
