Linda Burroughs, LMSW

Linda Burroughs is a Licensed Master Social Worker with 35 years of experience helping people through stress, anxiety, grief, depression, relationship strain, parenting challenges, trauma, and related life changes. She greets new clients with a calm, steady presence and a focus on practical next steps. Linda aims to help people notice what matters to them and take workable steps toward feeling better.

Her background includes work across schools, community agencies, and home-based services. She has supported people with medical, social, and emotional needs and has worked with adults facing depression, anxiety, and loss. She also has experience supporting at-risk mothers and people with physical disabilities.

Linda has served as a school social worker, an administrator of special education programs, a principal in early childhood education, and an adjunct professor. Those roles shaped her skill set and gave her many approaches to problem solving. She brings this practical knowledge into sessions to help clients build everyday coping skills.

In therapy she listens first and then helps people build positive strategies. Sessions focus on clear goals, manageable steps, and celebrating progress. Linda emphasizes self-awareness and teaches skills people can use long after sessions end.

She practices from Michigan and works with concerns such as compassion fatigue, ADHD, aging and geriatric issues, anger, career stress, and parenting strain. Linda combines methods like cognitive behavioral work, client-centered listening, mindfulness, and solution-focused techniques to match what a person needs.

Practical approaches for online therapy

Linda uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors that keep them stuck. CBT is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress by teaching coping skills and small behavioral experiments.

She also uses Client-Centered Therapy which emphasizes listening, empathy, and putting the person's goals at the center of the work. This approach helps people feel heard while they sort out values and next steps. Mindfulness Therapy is used to build moment-to-moment awareness and reduce reactivity, which can help with grief, anger, and ongoing stress.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with each person about their needs, goals, and preferences and will recommend tools and methods to try. This is a collaborative process and approaches can be adjusted as progress is made.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit busy schedules. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation, phone calls can work when bandwidth is limited, and chat or messaging can be useful for quick check-ins or short skill practice. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, caregiving, or daily routines.
