About Linda
Linda MacQuigg is a licensed professional counselor, LPCC, practicing in New Mexico with 25 years of experience. She helps people cope with life changes, address addiction and recovery, manage relationship strain, navigate trauma and abuse, and handle parenting challenges. Her approach is respectful and compassionate, focused on practical steps people can use right away.
Her sessions are built around the individual's needs. She adapts conversation and plans to what each person brings to the room.
Background and approach
That can mean short problem-solving goals or deeper work on patterns that keep showing up. Over her career she has worked with issues that often follow family-of-origin wounds, blended family situations, caregiving stress, and end-of-life concerns. She also brings experience with adoption and foster care questions, codependency, and substance-related problems.
People with hearing impairments are included in her list of focus areas. Linda uses a mix of therapeutic styles so she can match the method to the issue. Some days the work is focused and solution-oriented.
Other times it is more reflective, drawing on meaning, symbols, and mindful awareness to shift perspective. This flexibility helps when a problem needs both practical steps and deeper understanding. She offers sessions in English and accepts international clients.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. The intake begins by completing a short matching questionnaire and scheduling a session.
Approaches for online growth and change
Linda mixes client-centered work with mindfulness and solution-focused techniques. Client-centered therapy means the conversation stays focused on the person's concerns and values, letting the client guide what matters most. This helps when someone wants a supportive space to be heard and to sort priorities.Mindfulness therapy teaches attention to present-moment experience and simple practices that reduce reactivity. It can be useful for stress, caregiver strain, and difficulties that feel overwhelming. Solution-focused therapy zeroes in on small, achievable steps and what works already, which is helpful for practical problems like parenting challenges or early recovery goals.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with the person about goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful, then adjust methods as progress is made. That collaborative process helps tailor sessions to each person's situation.
Online therapy offers practical benefits for busy lives. Video calls let people keep face-to-face contact while avoiding travel. Phone sessions work well for lower bandwidth or when being on camera is not desired. Live chat and text-based messaging make brief check-ins possible between sessions and can fit into short breaks or tight schedules. These formats provide flexibility so therapy can fit around daily demands rather than the other way around.
