About Linda

Linda Burrell is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) based in Florida who helps people navigate stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, depression, anger, relationship and family concerns, grief, sleep problems, parenting struggles, self-esteem, career challenges, bipolar disorder, and major life changes.

Background and approach

She draws on a variety of methods to address complex presentations, tailoring her work to the needs of each person and combining practical skills with empathic support. Her approach emphasizes collaboration and skill-building through techniques rooted in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy along with client-centered listening, dialectical strategies, mindfulness exercises, and motivational methods when appropriate.

With 12 years of experience in mental health settings, she has supported individuals across different ages in both individual and group contexts and worked extensively with issues such as substance use, domestic violence, and personality-related concerns. Linda values rapport, trust, and respect as the foundation of therapy and encourages open engagement even when sessions become challenging.

She offers a steady, genuine presence while helping clients learn tools to manage symptoms, improve relationships, and pursue goals. Her work is practical and person-focused, emphasizing choices and steps clients can take between sessions to support lasting change.

Therapeutic approaches adapted for online care

Linda commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients identify and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns; this approach is practical and often focuses on learning coping skills for anxiety, depression, compulsive behaviors, and stress. She also integrates Client-Centered Therapy, offering an empathic, nonjudgmental space where the client’s experience guides the pace and focus of sessions. When intense emotion regulation or interpersonal difficulties arise, Dialectical Behavior Therapy techniques may be introduced to teach skills for distress tolerance, emotional regulation, and improved relationships.

Finding the right mix of methods is presented as a collaborative process. The therapist works with each person to assess needs, goals, and preferences and adjusts strategies over time so the approach fits the client rather than forcing a single model.

Online sessions are available by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility and access. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, maintain continuity during life transitions, and practice skills between sessions using the communication style that feels most comfortable for the client.
