About Linda
Linda Baxter is a Licensed Professional Counselor with 30 years of experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, grief, addiction, and ADHD-related concerns. She approaches each person with straightforward, honest communication and a focus on practical progress. Linda aims to make sessions feel like a clear path forward rather than a maze of jargon.
She begins from a client-centered stance, listening carefully to what matters most to the individual. That listening shapes each session and determines which tools to use next.
Background and approach
Clients can expect direct conversation about patterns, coping skills, and next steps. Linda draws on cognitive behavioral techniques to help people notice and change unhelpful thinking. She also uses dialectical behavior ideas for emotion regulation and mindfulness practices to build steadiness in daily life.
For those with trauma history, she integrates eye movement desensitization and reprocessing methods when appropriate. Many people who face substance use concerns come for her straightforward support and practical relapse-prevention planning. She combines motivational interviewing style questions with clear expectations to help people move toward recovery and sustained change.
Sessions tend to emphasize skill-building, real-world problem solving, and honest feedback. Linda helps clients set achievable goals, track progress, and adapt strategies if something isn’t working. Her practice is based in Texas, and she offers services in English.
How therapeutic approaches translate to online care
Linda often uses cognitive behavioral therapy to help people identify and change patterns of thinking that feed anxiety, depression, or unhelpful behaviors. CBT tends to focus on practical exercises, homework, and clear strategies that transfer well to digital formats. She also applies dialectical behavior therapy skills for emotion regulation and distress tolerance, which teach concrete tools for managing intense feelings and relationships.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist listens to the client's goals and preferences, then suggests methods to try and checks in about what is or isn’t helping. Together they adjust the plan so sessions remain relevant and useful as needs change.
Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy fit into a busy life. Video works well for deeper discussions and visual cues, phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is limited, and text or chat can support brief check-ins or ongoing skill practice. These options give flexibility for scheduling, shorter check-ins during a workday, and easier access from different locations.
