Linda Griffin, LPC - Therapist in Louisiana

About Linda

Linda Griffin is a Licensed Professional Counselor with 39 years of practice. She combines long experience in counseling and education to help people clarify problems and take practical steps forward. Her background in teaching shaped a focus on learning skills and building confidence.

She speaks plainly in sessions and centers the client's goals when planning work together. She describes the client as the driver of the process while she rides alongside offering information, encouragement, and direction.

Background and approach

Sessions often begin by defining a concern and setting clear, manageable objectives. Linda uses straightforward tools to help people understand patterns and try new behaviors between meetings. Her work commonly addresses stress, anxiety, depression, eating and food-related issues, self-esteem, career questions, and grief.

She also supports people facing trauma and abuse, intimacy-related and relationship challenges, anger, and issues related to sexual orientation and gender identity. Additional focus areas include aging and geriatric issues, blended family concerns, caregiver stress, and multicultural matters. Linda draws on Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Motivational Interviewing among other approaches.

She adapts methods to fit each person's needs and priorities rather than following a single rigid plan. Expect a practical, respectful process aimed at helping you set and reach clear goals. Based in Louisiana, she brings decades of experience to conversations about life purpose, midlife transitions, family of origin struggles, and communication problems.

Sessions emphasize skill building so people can use new strategies in daily life.

How Linda’s Approaches Work Online

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and responding to what each person brings. The therapist follows the client’s pace, reflects what is said, and helps build self-confidence and decision-making skills. This approach is useful for people who want a respectful, supportive space to talk through problems.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect. Linda uses CBT techniques to help identify unhelpful thinking and try small behavior changes that can reduce anxiety, depression, and stress. Motivational Interviewing helps when someone feels stuck or ambivalent about change by exploring values and gentle strategies to boost motivation.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Linda collaborates with each person to decide which methods fit their goals, needs, and comfort. She adapts techniques over time so the plan evolves as progress occurs.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase options for scheduling and access. These formats allow for regular check-ins, skill practice between meetings, and flexibility for busy lives. The variety of contact styles makes it easier to maintain momentum while fitting therapy into daily routines.

Client-Centered Therapy

The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.

Motivational Interviewing

A way of working through mixed feelings about change without being pushed. The therapist helps you weigh things up and find your own reasons, which often makes a difficult decision feel less stuck.
