About Linda
Linda Franga is an LPC - Licensed Professional Counselor in Colorado with 15 years of experience. She works with people dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship and family concerns, grief, parenting strains, trauma and abuse, anger, sleep problems, self-esteem, career worries, and depression.
Linda has practiced in schools, nonprofits, residential treatment centers, and community support programs. She also works part time as a Military and Family Life Counselor. Her training includes a master's degree from Boston University and many years of work across four countries. Those experiences inform how she talks with people and the concrete strategies she offers.
Her approach is straightforward and nonjudgmental. Sessions focus on identifying strengths, setting clear goals, and practicing manageable skills between meetings. She uses methods drawn from Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Solution-Focused Therapy to help people notice patterns and try different responses.
In sessions about anger she helps clients break down what usually happens before and after an outburst. She will work with a person to spot triggers, test small changes, and build alternatives to snapping or holding everything in. The work is practical and step-oriented rather than theoretical.
People who choose Linda can expect direct conversation, short-term skill work when helpful, and attention to life context such as caregiving or military-related stress. She asks clients to set clear goals and to try small experiments between sessions to see what helps.
How her approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and responding to a person's concerns, helping someone feel heard and steering sessions by the client's priorities. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and provides concrete exercises to change unhelpful patterns. Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on small, practical steps and on what a person wants to be different soon rather than digging through long histories.Finding the right mix of these methods is part of the work. Linda will discuss goals and preferences and then suggest which approaches to try together. That gives clients a chance to test what helps and to adjust the plan over time in collaboration with the therapist.
Confirm current session options before booking so you know the exact formats offered. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, shorten check-ins on a lunch break, or avoid travel when schedules are tight. The emphasis is on making therapy practical and usable within everyday life rather than on a single promised outcome.
