About Linda
Linda Guidry is a Licensed Professional Counselor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, and parenting challenges. She speaks plainly and focuses on practical steps to reduce pressure and regain a sense of balance. Her style is warm and goal-oriented, aimed at helping people move forward one step at a time.
With 16 years in the mental health field, she draws on work in independent practice, the foster care system, day programs for chronically ill adults, and non-profit settings.
Background and approach
That range of experience informs how she tailors sessions to everyday life and real problems. She has a master’s degree in Educational Leadership, Guidance, and Counseling from the University of New Orleans. Sessions focus on clear goals and skills you can use between meetings.
Techniques include helping people notice patterns of thinking, learn practical coping skills, build self-control, and practice mindfulness to reduce reactivity. Hypnotherapy is also part of her toolkit when it fits the client's goals. Linda works with a wide variety of concerns such as mood disorders, anxiety and depression, anger, low self-esteem, trauma and intimacy-related issues, ADHD, bipolar mood concerns, and compassion fatigue.
She also supports people dealing with adoption and foster care issues, caregiving stress, chronic illness, grief, and life changes. Her approach centers on listening first, then setting realistic objectives together. She aims to help people gain clearer self-understanding, make decisions that match their values, and build routines that support longer-term wellbeing.
Therapeutic approaches for online support
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and building a trusting conversation. The therapist follows the client's lead, helps people name what matters, and works collaboratively to set achievable goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps people spot unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors; it is useful for anxiety, depression, and stress by teaching practical coping steps. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, adds skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and better communication, which can help with strong reactions and relationship strain.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss options with each person and choose techniques based on goals, needs, and preferences. That decision is collaborative and can change as progress is made or new issues come up.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face interaction for longer sessions, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, and messaging options support brief check-ins or ongoing coaching between meetings. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into work, caregiving, and busy days while keeping focus on practical tools and steady progress.
