About Linda

Linda Baxter is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Texas with three decades of experience supporting people through a wide range of life challenges. She works with clients facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, addictions, relationship and intimacy-related concerns, bipolar disorder, ADHD, and other complex issues.

Background and approach

Her background includes long-term work with individuals pursuing recovery from substance use, and she emphasizes direct, honest communication to help clients take courageous steps toward change. Her practice begins from a client-centered foundation that prioritizes the person’s goals and lived experience.

Linda blends mindfulness and classic psychodynamic ideas to help clients increase awareness of how thinking patterns affect feelings and behavior. She also integrates evidence-based tools such as CBT, DBT, and EMDR when clinically appropriate to address trauma, mood symptoms, and regulation skills.

Clients can expect a practical, results-oriented approach grounded in respect and collaboration. Linda’s experience as an LPC and her decades working with addiction and mood concerns inform a steady, compassionate style aimed at helping people move toward healthier coping, clearer priorities, and improved daily functioning.

Integrating evidence-based approaches for online care



Linda uses Client-Centered Therapy to place the client’s priorities at the center of the work, fostering a collaborative relationship where goals and progress are defined together. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is employed to help identify unhelpful thinking patterns and to develop concrete skills for managing mood, anxiety, and daily functioning. When trauma or intense emotional regulation issues are present, elements of Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) can be introduced to teach distress tolerance, emotion regulation, and interpersonal effectiveness skills.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and she works with clients to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences. That collaborative exploration helps shape a plan that can include skill-building, insight-oriented work, or targeted interventions for trauma and addiction concerns.

Online therapy with video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging provides flexibility for scheduling and for matching the format to how a client feels most comfortable communicating. These options make it easier to maintain consistency in care, practice skills between sessions, and access support when life’s demands or geography make in-person meetings difficult.
