About
Linda Banks is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Louisiana with eight years of experience delivering mental health services in community-based settings.

Her background includes supporting individuals affected by emotional abuse and other adverse life events.
Her counseling style is warm, collaborative, and culturally responsive. She emphasizes dignity, respect, compassion, and understanding while creating a nonjudgmental space where individuals can explore thoughts, emotions, and life transitions. Treatment plans are tailored to each person’s goals and strengths rather than following a single prescribed route.
Linda integrates several clinical approaches to guide her work, drawing on practical skills and deeper exploration to meet individual needs. She is committed to partnering with people who are seeking support for challenges ranging from career-related stress to social anxiety and midlife concerns, and she frames therapy as a shared process aimed at growth and well-being.

Remote therapy options and approach
Linda combines structured skills work and reflective exploration in remote sessions. She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify and change unhelpful thought and behavior patterns and on Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy to examine and reframe core beliefs that contribute to distress. These approaches are presented in concrete, accessible ways to support practical problem solving and skills development.
Alongside skills-based methods she integrates Humanistic principles that emphasize each person’s strengths and capacity for growth. This allows space for emotional processing and for therapy to be shaped around individual goals and values. Treatment plans are tailored collaboratively so each session addresses what matters most to the individual.
Remote sessions are available by video, by phone, and through live chat or text-based messaging. These options are used to maintain an ongoing, collaborative working relationship and to adapt to different communication preferences while focusing on agreed therapeutic goals.
