01About Linda
Dr. Linda l Peoples is a licensed professional counselor who helps people manage stress, anxiety, anger, grief, and life transitions. She draws on 21 years of experience to offer steady guidance during times of change.
Dr. Peoples works with people facing career pressure, relationship and intimacy concerns, trauma and abuse, compassion fatigue, and issues common to first responders. Her style is straightforward and practical.
Sessions focus on clear goals and simple strategies that can be used between meetings.
Background and approach
She combines ways of changing unhelpful thoughts with practices that calm the body and mind. This gives people tools to handle day-to-day problems and tough moments. Dr.
Peoples uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice thought patterns that make worries and moods worse. She pairs that with Mindfulness Therapy to teach paying attention in a kinder, calmer way. Together these approaches help with panic, low mood, anger, and ongoing stress.
Most work happens through remote sessions, including video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging. That lets people fit counseling into busy schedules and use the format that feels most comfortable. Dr.
Peoples explains each step and helps people choose practical next moves. Her Tennessee LPC credential is part of her background and informs her practice. To begin, people complete a short questionnaire and then schedule sessions based on her availability.

04Online support
CBT and Mindfulness in Online Care
Dr. Peoples uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people spot and change thought patterns that increase worry and low mood. CBT focuses on small, practical experiments and clear steps people can try between sessions to shift feelings and behavior.She also uses Mindfulness Therapy to teach simple attention and breathing practices. Mindfulness helps reduce reactivity, manage strong emotions, and create space for calmer choices during stressful moments.
Choosing the right approach is a team effort. The therapist will ask about goals, daily routines, and what has or hasn't helped before. Together they decide whether to emphasize CBT, mindfulness, or a blend of both based on the person's needs and preferences.
Online therapy formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video allows face-to-face interaction and visual cues, while phone sessions work well when internet bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging offer brief, flexible touchpoints for coaching and follow-up. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, caregiving, or irregular schedules and to keep continuity of care when in-person visits are difficult.
