About Linda
Linda Franga is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Colorado with 15 years of experience. She focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, relationship concerns, grief, parenting challenges, and trauma. Linda aims to build a straightforward, nonjudgmental connection so people feel heard and can take practical steps forward.
She draws on experience from schools, nonprofits, residential treatment, and community programs. That work exposed her to many life situations and shaped how she listens and responds.
Background and approach
Linda uses clear goal-setting to help people break problems into manageable steps. In sessions she uses client-centered methods to follow the person's lead and create a safe space for honest conversation. She also uses cognitive behavioral tools to spot unhelpful thinking patterns and practical solution-focused strategies to identify small changes that make a difference.
Together these approaches help address coping skills, mood, sleep, and relationship patterns. Linda has a master’s degree from Boston University and has worked in multiple countries over the last two decades. She currently carries experience supporting military-connected clients through her part-time role as a Military and Family Life Counselor.
Her background emphasizes listening first, then developing clear, achievable goals. People who want direct, practical work that still values empathy often find her approach useful. Sessions aim to strengthen strengths, reduce daily stressors, and improve communication.
She encourages people to bring specific concerns so they can work on concrete solutions together.
How Linda's Methods Work Online
Linda uses client-centered therapy to follow each person's concerns and priorities, creating space for them to speak and be heard. This approach helps people clarify what matters most and set goals that fit their life.She also employs cognitive behavioral therapy, which looks at the connection between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. CBT is useful for addressing anxiety, low mood, sleep problems, and stress by teaching concrete skills to change patterns that keep problems going.
Solution-focused techniques round out her practice by zeroing in on small, practical changes that can be tested between sessions. These brief steps aim to build momentum and show measurable progress quickly.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Linda collaborates with each person to choose methods that match their goals and preferences, and she adjusts plans as progress is made. That collaborative process helps keep sessions relevant and efficient.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions can work when bandwidth is limited, live chat is helpful for shorter check-ins, and text-based messaging supports ongoing reflection between meetings. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and to continue work when travel or relocation occurs.
