Linda Griffin, LPC

Linda Griffin is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with decades of experience guiding people through life changes. She brings a background in education and leadership to her work and focuses on helping people build skills they can use every day.

Her early career as a secondary and post-secondary teacher shaped how she approaches counseling. She holds a Master of Arts in Counseling and an Ed.D. in Educational Leadership. Those roles, including director of counseling services and dean of student development, feed into her emphasis on learning and growth.

Linda centers sessions on the client’s goals. She uses a tandem bicycle metaphor to explain the work - the client steers and she pedals alongside, offering information, encouragement, and guidance. That means sessions tend to be collaborative and respectful of each person’s values and choices.

Her practice addresses stress, anxiety, depression, grief, eating and food-related concerns, self-esteem, career questions, relationship and intimacy issues, trauma and abuse, anger, and LGBT-related matters including gender dysphoria. She also helps with caregiver stress, blended family concerns, family of origin issues, and life purpose or midlife transitions.

Therapeutic methods she commonly uses include Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Motivational Interviewing, adapted to fit the individual. In sessions she helps people clarify concerns, set practical objectives, and try interventions that match their goals.

Linda works from Louisiana and conducts sessions in English. If you want to move forward, use the continue button on this profile and complete the short matching questionnaire to schedule according to therapist availability.

Therapeutic approaches and online care that fit your life

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and responding to what the person brings to the room. The therapist follows the client's lead, offering empathy, reflection, and support to help the client find their own solutions. This approach helps with self-esteem, life direction, and relationship concerns.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at patterns of thought and behavior and works to change unhelpful habits. It uses practical exercises and small experiments to reduce anxiety, manage mood, and tackle eating and stress-related problems.

Motivational Interviewing is a collaborative way to explore ambivalence and strengthen motivation for change. It is often useful for career shifts, habit change, or when a person is unsure about next steps.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn't worked before. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust the plan as progress is made.
