Linda Guidry , LPC

Linda Guidry brings a warm, empathic, and goal-focused approach to counseling, guiding people who feel stuck by life stressors, loss, or transitions toward greater well-being and practical solutions. She believes individuals have the capacity to thrive, connect, and succeed, and she partners with clients to reduce the overwhelm of daily challenges and to reclaim energy for meaningful goals.

Linda holds a Master of Education - M.Ed. - in Educational Leadership, Guidance, and Counseling from the University of New Orleans. She is a National Certified Counselor (NCC) and a Licensed Professional Counselor and Counselor Supervisor (LPC-S). Over the course of her career she has worked in private practice, within the foster care system, at a day program for chronically ill adults, and in the non-profit sector, bringing a breadth of experience to her work with mood disorders, anxiety, depression, anger management, self-esteem concerns, grief and loss, adult-onset disability, and chronic illness.

Her clinical style is compassionate and client-centered while remaining focused on clear goals and measurable progress. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, mindfulness techniques, solution-focused methods, and other tools to help clients set objectives and build practical skills. Linda is committed to supporting personal growth, improving relationships and communication, and helping people navigate important life decisions and changes. She offers collaborative, strengths-based care aimed at helping clients move toward a more balanced and fulfilling life.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support

Linda Guidry integrates client-centered therapy into her online practice, creating a supportive environment where the person's values and goals guide the work. This approach emphasizes empathy, active listening, and collaboration to help clients explore their priorities and build on their strengths.

She also employs Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), a practical method that helps clients identify and adjust unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. CBT is commonly used for anxiety, depression, stress, and difficulties with coping and problem solving. In addition, she uses Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills to teach emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and improved interpersonal effectiveness for people struggling with intense emotions or relationship challenges.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Linda works with each client to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, and she adjusts the plan as progress is made. Online sessions via video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging provide flexibility for scheduling and make it easier to access regular care from home or another convenient location. For many clients, this range of remote options supports consistent engagement and practical application of therapeutic skills between sessions.
