About Linda
Linda Burroughs, LMSW, helps people manage stress, anxiety, parenting challenges, grief, and the everyday strains of life. She draws on 35 years of practical experience to offer steady support and clear strategies for change. Her approach is straightforward and focused on what will help you feel better day to day.
Linda listens closely and works with each person to set simple, achievable goals. She uses methods that help people notice unhelpful thoughts, practice new reactions, and build routines that work for real life.
Background and approach
Sessions are conversational and goal-oriented rather than long lectures or labels. Her background includes clinical social work in medical and community settings, home-based services for people with disabilities, and school social work. She has also served as an administrator for special education programs, a principal for an early childhood building, and an adjunct professor.
Those roles shaped her practical problem-solving style and ability to explain ideas plainly. Linda earned a Master of Social Work from the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, and holds a Licensed Master Social Worker credential in Michigan. She combines that training with decades of front-line experience to help people develop lasting coping skills and clearer self-awareness.
Many people come to her with parenting stress, relationship strain, burnout, trauma, or work challenges. She focuses on building step-by-step plans, teaching coping skills, and celebrating small wins as clients make progress.

How Linda’s approaches translate to online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and understanding your experience. The therapist mirrors your concerns, helps you name what matters, and supports choices that feel right for you. This approach is useful for parenting stress, grief, and feeling overwhelmed.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions. Sessions include practical exercises and homework to change unhelpful thinking and build new routines. CBT can help with anxiety, depression, ADHD challenges, and coping with life changes.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with you about your goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before. Together you will try methods and adjust the plan based on what fits your life and needs.
Online therapy offers flexibility for busy schedules. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions work when bandwidth is limited, live chat suits quick check-ins, and text messaging supports brief ongoing work between appointments. These options make it easier to fit sessions around parenting, work, and caregiving responsibilities while keeping the focus on practical change.
