About Linda

Linda Burroughs, LMSW, draws on 35 years of clinical experience to support people managing stress, anxiety, grief, relationship strains, trauma and abuse, depression, ADHD, and related life challenges.

Background and approach

She frames therapy as a collaborative process that helps individuals build self-awareness, develop practical coping strategies, and work toward meaningful change. Her background includes roles across agency-based services, school social work, special education administration, and higher education, which contribute to a practical, informed approach to care.

Linda emphasizes strengths and steady progress, helping clients identify realistic goals and celebrate incremental successes. She uses listening and reflective feedback to guide development of concrete tools for emotion regulation, problem solving, and improving day-to-day functioning.

Her work also addresses parenting, family dynamics, career concerns, aging and geriatric issues, compassion fatigue, and anger, tailoring interventions to each person’s circumstances. Clients can expect a supportive, person-centered stance grounded in evidence-informed methods.

Linda’s aim is to help people build sustainable wellness through skills, insight, and collaboration, honoring the effort it takes to change while offering structured strategies to move forward.

Approaches and Online Support for Practical Growth



Client-Centered Therapy focuses on creating a respectful, empathetic space where the client’s perspective guides the work; this approach helps people explore feelings and build self-directed change. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) offers structured techniques to identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which can be especially useful for anxiety, depression, stress, and many everyday challenges. Mindfulness Therapy teaches present-moment awareness and acceptance skills that can reduce reactivity and support emotion regulation across a range of concerns.

Choosing the best approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and needs, then tailor a combination of methods that fit the person’s situation. This allows treatment to evolve as progress is made and priorities change, with ongoing check-ins to ensure the plan remains helpful.

Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging, which makes scheduling more flexible and allows continuity when in-person meetings are difficult. These formats can support consistent work on skills, timely check-ins, and practical problem solving while accommodating varied routines and commitments.
