About Linda
Linda MacQuigg is a licensed professional clinical counselor with 25 years of experience in New Mexico. She focuses on helping people cope with life changes, manage addiction and recovery, handle relationship challenges, address trauma and abuse, and navigate parenting concerns. Linda speaks English and also accepts international clients for online work.
Her style is respectful and straightforward. She listens first and then shapes sessions to fit what each person needs.
Background and approach
Linda aims to make conversations practical and clear so clients can try small changes between sessions. Linda draws on several approaches when planning care. Client-centered methods mean the person sets the pace and goals.
Solution-focused tools look for immediate, workable steps to reduce stress. Mindfulness practices help people notice thoughts and feelings without being overwhelmed. She has worked across many related areas, including adoption and foster care, blended family issues, caregiver stress, aging and end-of-life concerns, and substance use.
Linda also supports people dealing with family of origin problems, codependency, and divorce or separation. Sessions are offered via video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging and use a subscription model that can be canceled at any time. To begin, users select the Start Therapy button, complete a short matching questionnaire, and schedule based on therapist availability.
Therapeutic approaches and online care that fit your life
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and building goals based on what matters to the person. Sessions move at the client’s pace and emphasis is on understanding and practical next steps that feel doable. Solution-focused therapy looks for small, immediate changes that can reduce stress and improve everyday functioning; it suits people who want clear, short-term direction.Mindfulness therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to help with overwhelming thoughts and feelings. It can be useful alongside other approaches when trauma, addiction, or parenting stress make it hard to stay present.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about their needs, goals, and preferences and then try methods that fit. That decision is collaborative and can shift over time as progress is made.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase convenience. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and maintain continuity when life changes. Linda uses these options to keep focus on goals, homework, and steady progress regardless of location.
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.
Existential Therapy
Takes the larger questions seriously: meaning, choice, mortality, responsibility. Suited to periods when the difficulty is less a symptom than a sense that something has to change.
Mindfulness Therapy
Attention training: noticing thoughts and physical feelings as they arrive without being carried off by them. Much of it is practice you do yourself, so guidance over video or audio works much as it would in person.
