Linda Burroughs , LMSW

Linda Burroughs brings more than 35 years of social work experience to her therapeutic practice in Michigan. She holds an LMSW and has worked across settings that addressed the medical, social, and emotional needs of children and adults. Over the course of her career she has provided home-based services for physically disabled people, supported at-risk mothers, and worked with adults coping with depression, anxiety, and grief.

Her background includes roles as a school social worker, an administrator of special education programs, principal of an early childhood building, and an adjunct professor. Those experiences have helped her develop a broad set of clinical skills and practical strategies that support increased self-awareness and long-term wellness. Linda believes meaningful change is possible through sustained effort and thoughtful guidance. She listens attentively, helps people develop concrete coping plans, and recognizes progress as clients reach their goals.

Her formal qualifications include an LMSW, 45 post-graduate hours, a Master of Social Work from the University of Michigan Ann Arbor, a Michigan teaching certificate, and a Bachelor of Science from Central Michigan University. Linda invites individuals who are ready to make positive changes to consider working with her as they begin their journey toward improved well-being.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Linda Burroughs draws from client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, and mindfulness practices to support people navigating stress, anxiety, relationship challenges, and life transitions. Client-centered therapy focuses on creating a respectful, nonjudgmental space where the individual’s goals and values guide the work and where empathy and active listening help build insight and confidence. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) targets the connection between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors by teaching practical skills to reframe unhelpful thinking and develop more effective coping strategies for issues like anxiety and depression. Mindfulness therapy encourages present-moment awareness and simple practices that reduce reactivity and support emotional regulation, which can be helpful for trauma, grief, and chronic stress.

Finding the right combination of approaches is part of the therapeutic process. Linda collaborates with each person to identify their needs, goals, and preferences, then adjusts techniques so the plan fits the individual rather than forcing a single method.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect, including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These options make it easier to maintain consistent care around work, family, or mobility constraints, and allow licensed professionals and therapists to deliver treatment that fits a person’s schedule and daily life.
