01About Linda
Linda Guidry is a Licensed Professional Counselor who focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, grief, and major life changes. She aims to create a calm space where clients can talk through problems and set clear goals. Linda uses straightforward techniques to help people regain energy and direction.
Linda has worked in mental health since 2004 and earned a master’s degree in Educational Leadership, Guidance, and Counseling from the University of New Orleans in 2008.
Background and approach
She holds LPC licenses in Louisiana and Alaska and brings sixteen years of clinical experience to her practice. Her background includes independent practice, work within the foster care system, a day program for chronically ill adults, and roles in the non-profit sector.
That variety has given her experience with mood disorders, anxiety and depression, anger and self-control issues, self-esteem, grief, and adult-onset disability and chronic illness. In sessions she describes her style as empathetic and goal oriented. She draws on client-centered methods and cognitive-behavioral techniques to help clients identify small, practical steps toward change.
Mindfulness and dialectical skills are also used to manage intense emotions and to build coping tools. Linda helps clients clarify values, set realistic objectives, and make decisions that fit their lives. She focuses on simple, doable strategies so people can find more balance, connection, and satisfaction day to day.

How Linda’s Approaches Work Online
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and helping clients find their own solutions through supportive conversation and reflection. It helps when someone needs to clarify values, set personal goals, and feel heard. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts affect feelings and behaviors and uses practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns; it is often used for anxiety, depression, and coping with life changes.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals and try techniques together to see what fits best. Over time they adjust methods based on what is helping and what isn’t, so the plan stays practical and relevant to the client’s needs.
Online therapy offers several practical benefits. Video calls let people work face to face from different locations and suit deeper conversations. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a quick check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging are useful for shorter updates, scheduling, and on-the-spot coaching between longer sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, caregiving, or other routines.
