About Linda
Linda Griffin is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with nearly four decades of experience in counseling and higher education leadership. Her background includes roles as director of Counseling Services and university Dean of Student Development, and she holds an MA in Counseling and an Ed.D. in Educational Leadership.
Background and approach
Those experiences shaped her emphasis on teaching self-efficacy and supporting clients as they develop greater agency in their lives. She frames counseling as a collaborative process in which the client guides the direction of work while the therapist offers information, encouragement, and practical tools.
Her primary methods include cognitive behavioral approaches alongside client-centered strategies and motivational interviewing, and she tailors techniques to match each person’s needs. Linda has supported people dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, eating and food-related concerns, relationship and family problems, grief, trauma and abuse, intimacy-related issues, anger, and issues related to sexual orientation and gender identity.
Practically oriented and educational in style, she helps clients clarify concerns, set measurable goals, and identify steps toward change. Based in Louisiana, she brings a long career of teaching and counseling to guide clients toward increased self-authorship and life purpose.
Approaches that guide online sessions
Linda Griffin uses cognitive behavioral ideas to help clients identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors; this approach is often applied to anxiety, depression, stress, and difficulties with self-esteem and eating-related concerns. She also draws on client-centered therapy, emphasizing active listening and respect so that clients set the agenda and feel understood as they explore goals and personal values. Motivational interviewing is another tool she uses to support readiness for change by exploring ambivalence and strengthening intrinsic motivation.Choosing the right approach is treated as a collaborative process. She works with each person to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting techniques over time so the work stays relevant and effective for the individual.
Online therapy with her is available through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These formats make it easier to access regular support, maintain continuity of care during life transitions, and fit sessions into busy routines while working toward clear, actionable goals.
