Linda Guidry

Linda Guidry prefers to be called Lindy and brings a warm, practical approach to therapy for people facing life’s challenges. She helps clients who feel stuck, drained, or overwhelmed by stress, grief, relationship struggles, parenting concerns, mood changes, or other difficulties that interfere with daily life.

She is a National Certified Counselor and a licensed professional counselor who is also credentialed to supervise other counselors. Linda is licensed to practice in both Louisiana and Alaska and has worked in the mental health field since 2004. She earned a master’s degree in Educational Leadership, Guidance, and Counseling from the University of New Orleans in 2008, and she has 16 years of clinical experience.

Her work has taken place in a variety of settings, including private practice, the foster care system, a day program serving adults with chronic illness, and the non-profit sector. She has supported people managing mood disorders, anxiety and depression, anger and self-control issues, challenges with self-esteem, grief and loss, adult-onset disability, and chronic illness. Her specialties also include parenting issues, trauma and abuse, LGBT concerns, intimacy-related difficulties, bipolar disorder, ADHD, compassion fatigue, and coaching for coping with life changes.

Linda describes her style as empathetic, client-centered, and goal-oriented. She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Solution-Focused Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and mindfulness techniques to help clients identify practical goals and develop skills to move toward the life they want.

She is committed to helping clients find greater balance and stability, increase self-understanding, and make meaningful changes. Sessions are intended to offer a safe, non-judgmental space to explore concerns, process grief or loss, manage symptoms, and rediscover joy and purpose.

Linda maintains a private practice in Louisiana and is available Monday through Thursday from 9:00 AM to 4:00 PM Central Daylight Time, Fridays from 12:00 PM to 3:00 PM CDT, and weekends by appointment. If those hours present a challenge, she invites prospective clients to raise that need so she can attempt to find a mutually workable appointment time.
