About Linda
Linda MacQuigg is a licensed professional clinical counselor in New Mexico with 25 years of experience. She helps people manage life changes, addiction and recovery, relationship struggles, trauma and abuse, and parenting concerns. Her approach is respectful and focused on each person's needs.
Linda uses a conversational style in sessions. She listens first and adapts questions and suggestions to each situation. Sessions emphasize practical steps you can try between meetings, and reflection about what is working and what needs to change.
Background and approach
Her background includes long-term clinical work across a range of settings. That experience informs how she tailors care for adoption and foster care challenges, blended family dynamics, caregiver stress, and end-of-life concerns. She also supports people dealing with substance issues, codependency, commitment or control struggles, and family-of-origin patterns.
Linda draws on several therapy approaches to shape conversations and plans. She leans on client-centered methods to make space for what matters to you, uses mindfulness tools to help manage strong emotions, and applies solution-focused strategies to build short-term goals. Jungian and existential ideas may be woven in when exploring meaning and identity.
Sessions are offered in English and may be scheduled as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. People outside the United States may also arrange appointments. Costs vary with location and use a subscription that can be canceled at any time.

Approaches that guide online sessions
Client-centered therapy starts by placing the person's experience at the center of the conversation. The therapist listens closely, reflects what she hears, and adjusts questions so sessions match your needs; this helps when sorting parenting concerns or relationship stress.Mindfulness therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and calm strong feelings. These exercises are useful for stress from life transitions, trauma reminders, or cravings during recovery.
Solution-focused therapy concentrates on small, practical steps and short-term goals. It aims to identify strengths and build immediate changes you can try between sessions, which can feel helpful when juggling parenting demands or caregiving stress.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with you to test techniques, notice what helps, and adjust the plan based on your goals and preferences. Expect the method to evolve as you make progress.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or a session needs to fit into a busy day. Live chat and text messaging offer quick check-ins, short reflections, or ongoing support between longer meetings. These options make scheduling easier and allow work to continue from different locations.
