About Linda
Linda Griffin is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Louisiana with 39 years of experience. She combines a background in education and leadership with long clinical work to help people facing stress, anxiety, depression, anger, relationship strain, and identity concerns. Linda draws on counseling and teaching skills to help people build practical self-efficacy skills.
Her training includes an MA in Counseling and an Ed.D. in Educational Leadership. Those roles shaped her approach - she often uses clear, teachable techniques that people can apply outside sessions. She views the client as the driver of the work and sees her role as offering guidance, information, and encouragement.
Linda commonly uses client-centered methods alongside cognitive-behavioral tools and motivational interviewing. She helps people define clear objectives, name practical steps, and test small changes to see what works. Sessions focus on concrete skill building rather than abstract theory.
She has supported people with eating and food-related issues, grief and loss, career questions, intimacy concerns, multicultural matters, caregiver stress, and family of origin struggles. Anger and communication problems are among the concerns she addresses, approached through behavior-focused exercises and clearer problem definition.
Her background as a teacher and a university administrator also informs how she explains strategies. People can expect straightforward discussion, suggested exercises, and work to strengthen confidence in managing difficult feelings and decisions.
How her approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on supporting the client as the active decision maker. The therapist listens, reflects, and offers guidance while the client sets the direction. This helps people who need clarity and confidence to take action.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the connection between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It breaks problems into small, testable steps and teaches practical skills to reduce anxiety, manage anger, or change unhelpful patterns.
Motivational Interviewing is a collaborative way to explore what matters to a person and to strengthen their own motivation for change. It is useful when someone feels stuck or unsure how to begin making changes.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust them over time based on progress and feedback.
Confirm current session options before booking so you know how sessions are conducted. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when time is tight, and avoid travel. Ask about the specific session format when you schedule your first appointment.
