About Linda
Linda Griffin is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Louisiana with 39 years of experience. She works with adults on concerns such as anxiety, depression, eating and self-esteem, relationship issues, grief, and family-related problems including family of origin issues.
Before moving into counseling full time, she taught at secondary and post-secondary levels. That background shaped her focus on learning and skill building. She also holds an Ed.D. in Educational Leadership and an MA in Counseling, and she has directed counseling services at the university level.
Her way of working emphasizes the client as the active driver of the sessions. She describes her role as a second rider on a tandem bicycle - offering information, encouragement, and guidance while the client sets direction and goals. Sessions center on defining concerns, setting objectives for change, and choosing concrete interventions.
She uses Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Motivational Interviewing among other approaches. Practical skill building, self-efficacy, and aiding people to clarify life choices are regular parts of her work.
Linda adapts techniques to each person’s needs and focuses on helping people name their goals and learn steps to reach them. Her background in education means she often blends teaching with counseling to strengthen skills for coping and decision making.
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and following the client’s lead. In practice this means the therapist reflects concerns, asks clarifying questions, and supports people as they decide what matters most and which steps to try. It is helpful for issues about relationships, self-esteem, and life direction.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts and behaviors interact. The therapist and client identify unhelpful patterns, try new behaviors, and test small changes between sessions. CBT is often used for anxiety, depression, and eating-related problems.
Motivational Interviewing is a conversational style that helps people weigh options and strengthen their own reasons for change. It suits decisions about career direction, lifestyle shifts, or building new habits.
Choosing an approach is collaborative. She will discuss goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t worked before. Together they decide which methods to try and they adjust as progress is tracked.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a weekday break, reduce travel time, or allow shorter check-ins when needed. Licensed professionals often adapt pacing, homework, and tools so therapy fits everyday life without requiring long blocks of time.
