About Linda Guidry
Linda Guidry prefers to be called Lindy and brings a warm, practical approach to counseling that emphasizes each person’s ability to grow and recover from difficult circumstances. She frames therapy as a collaborative effort - helping people restore energy, strengthen relationships, and move toward goals when life’s demands feel overwhelming.
She holds a Master of Education (M.Ed.) in Educational Leadership, Guidance, and Counseling from the University of New Orleans and is credentialed as a National Certified Counselor (NCC). She is also a Licensed Professional Counselor and Counselor Supervisor - credentials that reflect her clinical training and supervisory role. Linda is licensed to practice in Louisiana and Alaska (LA LPC 4416; AK LPC 177868).
With 16 years of experience in the mental health field, she has worked across settings including private practice, the foster care system, a day program for chronically ill adults, and nonprofit organizations. Her clinical experience encompasses mood disorders, anxiety and depression, anger and self-control issues, self-esteem concerns, grief and loss, adult-onset disability, and chronic illness. She also works with relationship and family dynamics, parenting concerns, trauma and abuse, LGBTQ issues, and a range of life-transition challenges.
Her therapeutic style is empathetic, goal-oriented, and client-centered. She draws from a blend of evidence-informed approaches - including client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), mindfulness therapy, solution-focused strategies, narrative therapy, and hypnotherapy - to help clients set clear objectives and develop practical skills for change.

Could virtual sessions be a good fit for you?
Many people ask whether meeting with a therapist online can make a meaningful difference. For a wide range of common concerns - including stress, anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, and coping with life changes - online therapy can be comparable in effectiveness to traditional in-person care and offers an accessible alternative for many users.One of the main benefits is flexibility - people can choose the format that best suits their needs by connecting through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. That flexibility makes it easier to fit regular therapeutic work into busy schedules, caregiving responsibilities, and other life demands.
Licensed professionals and therapists who provide remote services bring clinical training and structured approaches to their work, and many clients find that virtual sessions support meaningful progress toward goals. If the fit with a therapist is not quite right, it is possible to switch to a different licensed professional to find the best match for one’s needs.
