01About Linda
Linda Griffin is a Licensed Professional Counselor with 39 years of experience. She brings a background in education and leadership into her counseling, and she focuses on helping people build skills they can use in daily life. Her earlier work as a secondary and post-secondary teacher shaped how she explains things and supports learning.
She also earned an Ed.D. in Educational Leadership and served in university counseling and student development roles.
Background and approach
Those roles helped her develop a practical, teaching-minded approach to therapy. In sessions she centers the person's goals. She uses an approach similar to riding a tandem bicycle - the client steers while she provides information, energy, encouragement, and guidance.
That means listening first, then helping clients name realistic goals and small steps toward them. She uses Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Motivational Interviewing among other approaches. In practice this looks like identifying unhelpful patterns, testing small behavior changes, and supporting motivation to keep trying.
Linda adapts the way she works to match individual needs and preferences. People come to her for many concerns, including stress, anxiety, depression, relationship struggles, eating and body image issues, grief, and questions about gender or sexual orientation. She also helps with career decisions, caregiving strain, midlife transitions, and feelings of isolation.
Sessions aim to clarify problems, set goals, and practice skills that make everyday life easier.

04Online support
Therapy approaches and flexible online care
Linda uses Client-Centered Therapy to follow the person's lead, listening closely and responding with empathy and reflection. This approach is helpful when someone needs space to sort feelings and decide what matters most to them.She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which focuses on identifying thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going and trying small experiments to change them. CBT is often useful for anxiety, depression, and patterns that cause daily stress.
Motivational Interviewing is another tool she draws on to help people find the reasons they want to change and to strengthen their motivation. This is useful when someone feels stuck or unsure about next steps.
Choosing an approach is a team effort. The therapist will talk with a person about their goals and preferences, then pick methods together and adjust them over time. The process is collaborative and aimed at practical progress.
Online therapy offers several ways to connect: video calls for full face-to-face sessions, phone sessions when bandwidth is limited, live chat for a quicker back-and-forth, and text-based messaging for brief check-ins or ongoing support. These options make it easier to fit sessions into work, caregiving, or busy schedules and to pick the format that best matches how someone wants to work.
