About Linda
Linda Griffin is a Licensed Professional Counselor with 39 years of experience. She draws on a long career in education and higher‑education leadership to help people set practical goals and build skills. Her style centers on listening, clear guidance, and encouraging clients to take the lead in their growth.
She began as a secondary and post‑secondary teacher and later served as director of counseling services and dean of student development.
Background and approach
Those roles shaped her focus on teaching self‑efficacy and life‑long learning. She holds a Master of Arts in Counseling and an Ed.D. in Educational Leadership, and she has supervised other counselors. In sessions she helps people clarify what matters to them and pick small steps that add up.
She uses client‑centered methods to follow each person’s pace and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to spot unhelpful thinking and change behavior. Motivational Interviewing is part of how she supports readiness for change and helps people set realistic goals.
Linda has worked with a wide range of concerns including stress, anxiety, depression, grief, eating and self‑esteem issues, intimacy concerns, anger, and questions about sexual orientation and gender identity. She also addresses caregiver strain, blended family challenges, and midlife concerns. Her approach treats the client as the driver of the work.
She offers information, encouragement, and practical tools while people steer the direction of the sessions. That makes the work collaborative and focused on everyday results.

How Linda’s approaches work online
Client‑Centered Therapy focuses on following the client’s lead and offering empathy and support. Online sessions let the therapist listen closely and respond to what matters most to the person in front of her.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps people spot patterns of thinking that keep them stuck and then practice different behaviors. In video or phone sessions this often means setting small in‑between session tasks and reviewing progress together.
Motivational Interviewing is a conversational way to build motivation for change. The therapist asks open questions and reflects back what she hears to help clients choose steps they feel ready to take.
Finding the best fit is a collaborative process. Linda will discuss goals, try approaches that match those goals, and adjust methods as needed so the work stays useful and realistic.
Online therapy offers practical benefits. Video calls approximate an in‑person conversation and allow screen sharing for worksheets. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check‑in is needed. Live chat and text‑based messaging work well for quick updates, coaching between sessions, or when typing helps someone organize thoughts. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and keep progress moving forward.
