About Linda

Linda Baxter is a Licensed Professional Counselor with three decades of experience helping people through hard times. She works with individuals facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, addiction, and relationship or parenting concerns. Linda aims for clear, direct communication and practical steps that people can use between sessions.

She begins by listening to what matters most to each person and builds treatment from that starting point. Sessions focus on increasing awareness of patterns in thinking and behavior.

Background and approach

Mindfulness exercises and client-centered conversations help people notice what gets in the way of change. Linda combines several well-known approaches to fit each person’s needs. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is used to spot and shift unhelpful thoughts.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy offers tools for emotion regulation and distress tolerance. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, listed among her approaches, may be used when trauma memories are part of the struggle. Over thirty years she has supported people working toward sobriety and those coping with loss, career shifts, or caregiver stress.

Her work is straightforward and focused on practical progress rather than jargon. Clients can expect honest feedback and a plan that addresses both immediate struggles and longer-term goals. Linda practices in Texas and offers sessions in English.

She helps people who want a therapist who listens first, then builds a plan together.

Online support

How therapeutic approaches translate to online care

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and building trust so the person sets the pace and goals. Online sessions use that same approach: conversations begin where the client is and move at a comfortable rate to address what matters most.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps people identify unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors. In remote sessions a therapist guides thought records, problem-solving exercises, and homework that can be practiced between video or phone meetings.

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is an approach used for processing distressing memories. When EMDR techniques are applied online, the therapist adapts pacing and exercises to fit a video or phone format and checks in regularly about comfort and progress.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t worked before, then recommend methods to try. Adjustments are made along the way based on how the client responds.

Online formats offer practical benefits. Video calls provide face-to-face interaction and visual cues. Phone sessions can be simpler when bandwidth is limited or someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat or text-based messaging lets people check in between sessions or use shorter, more frequent touchpoints. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, caregiving, or recovery routines.
