About Linda

Linda Franga is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Colorado with 15 years of experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, grief, parenting challenges, trauma and abuse, and issues around intimacy and self-esteem. Linda is also noted for addressing guilt and shame alongside life transitions and caregiver stress.

She has worked in schools, nonprofits, residential treatment settings, and community support centers. Linda also has experience as a Military and Family Life Counselor and has worked with people in several countries. Her training includes a Master’s degree from Boston University, and she uses that background alongside years of practical experience.

Linda emphasizes a straightforward, person-centered way of working. She focuses on building a trusting therapeutic relationship and on setting concrete goals together. Sessions tend to center on identifying strengths, learning practical skills, and talking through difficult emotions in a nonjudgmental manner.

Clinically she draws from Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Solution-Focused Therapy. That mix lets her combine open listening with skill-building and short-term problem solving for everyday struggles like sleep problems, anger, or workplace stress.

People who come for help with family conflict, forgiveness, or guilt and shame often work on communication, boundary-setting, and small steps toward feeling more in control. Linda aims to help clients translate insight into practical changes they can try between sessions.

How her approaches translate to online work

Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and building a trustworthy working relationship. Online sessions using this approach focus on open questioning and reflective listening to help people name what matters and identify personal strengths.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. In online sessions CBT is used to teach practical skills, test gentle behavioral experiments, and build better sleep, anger, or stress routines.

Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on small, achievable steps and what works already. Online meetings using this method often set short-term goals and track progress between sessions.

Finding the right mix of these approaches is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose methods based on their goals, preferences, and the issues they bring. That process may shift as new needs appear.

The original biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life - for example, shorter check-ins during a lunch break, avoiding travel time, or choosing a quieter setting for focused conversation. Licensed professionals often use online sessions to help maintain momentum between in-person meetings and to support consistent progress without large scheduling disruptions.
