Linda Guidry brings a compassionate, goal-focused approach to counseling, helping people navigate stress, anxiety, grief, relationship challenges, parenting concerns, and life transitions. She works with clients dealing with mood disorders, anger and self-control issues, low self-esteem, chronic illness and adult-onset disability, and other concerns that can make daily life feel overwhelming.

She is a National Certified Counselor - a national credential that recognizes professional training and standards - and a Licensed Professional Counselor who also serves in a counselor supervisor role. These credentials reflect formal training and experience in clinical work and supervision.

Over sixteen years of professional experience include roles in private practice, the foster care system, a day program for chronically ill adults, and work with nonprofit organizations. She draws on client-centered principles to create an empathetic, respectful environment, while integrating Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, solution-focused methods, and mindfulness practices to help clients set achievable goals and build skills.

Linda aims to collaborate with each person to identify priorities, strengthen coping skills, and support meaningful change. She is committed to helping clients pursue personal growth, improve relationships, and restore greater balance and well-being in everyday life.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Linda often integrates client-centered therapy, which emphasizes empathy and collaboration so clients set the pace and focus of sessions. This approach supports self-exploration, improved relationships, and personal growth by honoring each person’s values and goals.

She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help people identify unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and to develop practical strategies for managing anxiety, depression, stress, and related challenges. CBT is skill-oriented and works well for clients seeking structured tools to cope and change patterns.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) is offered for clients who need skills in emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and improving interpersonal effectiveness. DBT provides concrete techniques to manage intense emotions and enhance day-to-day functioning.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Linda works collaboratively with each client to determine which methods best fit their needs, goals, and preferences, and adjusts the plan over time as progress and priorities evolve.

Online therapy appointments are available by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to access consistent support from licensed professionals and therapists without rearranging major parts of daily life, helping clients maintain continuity of care as they work toward their goals.
