Profile

About Me

I am la Licensed Professional Counselor and have worked in several clinical settings including schools, nonprofits, residential treatment facilities and community support centers. I currently work part time as a Military and Family Life Counselor. l have a Master’s degree from Boston University but my greatest teachers have been the diverse group of clients I have worked with in four different countries during the last twenty years. I believe that the client-therapist relationship is the most important component in healing and will make a sincere attempt to be available to help you utilize your strengths and overcome your struggles. My approach to counseling is nonjudgmental and together we can create concrete goals to help you reach your full potential.

About online counseling

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space. Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.

Have only had two sessions so far, but very pleased with Ms. Franga's consideration and insight. I was trying BetterHelp without much in the way of expectations (due to previous experience in another realm), but have been surprised by wanting to continue sessions, which must be due to Linda's experience and non-judgmental approach. Looking forward to more sessions :)

Linda has been extremely helpful through my healing process. She is insightful, compassionate, and REAL with her responses. She will not tell me what I want to hear, but what I NEED to hear and also provide extensions to help me achieve my goals. It has been wonderful to have someone help me get through the difficult times.

Caring and upfront support. She supplies extension and homework and understands my concerns and needs. She tells me what I need to hear, versus what I might want to hear.

Linda is a caring, compassionate counselor. She takes the time to listen and ask insightful questions, and checks in on me when I am not communicative. I appreciate the time she invests in helping me.

Linda helped me through a really rough patch in my life last year! She guided me in seeing through the bad and broke things apart to explain why I was feeling that way. Finding the root cause was a big factor. She had great suggestions to keep me moving forward until I got a new job that works much better for my life!
