Linda Franga , LPC

Linda Franga is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Colorado who focuses on women's issues alongside a wide range of life stresses. She works with people facing anxiety, depression, grief, parenting strain, relationship and intimacy concerns, and career or self-esteem questions. Linda aims to make therapy straightforward and practical, helping people set small goals and build from their strengths.

She brings 15 years of experience in varied clinical settings, including schools, nonprofits, residential treatment programs, and community support centers. Her background includes work with military-connected clients as a Military and Family Life Counselor, and she has served people across multiple countries. That variety shaped a flexible, down-to-earth approach to care.

In sessions she uses client-centered work to listen and follow what matters most to the person in front of her. She also applies cognitive behavioral techniques to spot thought and behavior patterns that keep problems going. Solution-focused strategies are used to set clear, short-term steps and measure progress.

Linda describes her style as nonjudgmental and practical. She prefers to collaborate on concrete goals and to help people practice skills between sessions. Her work also addresses specific concerns such as sleep problems, anger, caregiver stress, blended family challenges, postpartum depression, and issues faced by veterans and armed forces communities.

People who choose her often want direct feedback, clear steps, and a supportive listener who understands both clinical settings and military-related stress. Sessions are offered in English and conducted online in a variety of formats.

How Linda’s Approaches Work Online

Linda uses client-centered work to start by listening closely and following what matters most to the person. That approach helps identify priorities and guides the shape of sessions for issues like relationship strain, grief, or parenting stress.

She also brings cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) techniques into online sessions. CBT helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, and teaches practical tools to change them. This is useful for anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and anger management.

Solution-focused therapy is used to set short-term, achievable goals and track progress. These brief, goal-oriented steps can help people see change quickly and feel more in control during transitions or midlife challenges.

Finding the right approach is a team effort. The therapist will work with each person to choose which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That may mean combining listening-based work, CBT skill practice, and solution-focused planning over time.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and messaging let people check in between meetings, do short check-ins, or use messaging when a quick update is all that’s needed. These options make therapy more flexible and easier to fit into busy lives.
