Linda Burrell , LMHC

Linda Burrell is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) practicing in Florida. An LMHC is a state credential for providing professional mental health counseling, and Burrell brings a decade-plus of hands-on experience to that role.

She completed her graduate studies at Nova Southeastern University, graduating at the top of her class, and gained early clinical experience interning at Harbor House, a domestic violence shelter. Her career has included work in federal settings with the Veterans Healthcare System and with the Departments of the Army and Navy, where she provided mental health and career counseling to service members. She has also worked in local social services agencies, treating clients across community settings.

With 12 years of experience, Burrell has supported adults, adolescents, and children in both individual and group formats. She assists people facing a range of concerns, including PTSD and military sexual trauma (MST), substance use issues, depression, anxiety, adjustment disorders, bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, personality disorders, and family problems. She has been particularly involved in supporting individuals affected by domestic abuse.

Clinically, she most often uses cognitive-behavioral approaches while adapting her methods to match each person's needs. She emphasizes genuine empathy and rapport building, viewing trust and respect as the foundation for effective work. She prepares clients for sometimes difficult emotional exploration and frames therapy as a collaborative effort that depends on openness, commitment, and active participation to reach meaningful goals.

Therapeutic Approaches Delivered Remotely

Linda Burrell frequently uses cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) to help clients identify and shift unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviors; CBT is practical and often used for anxiety, depression, and stress-related concerns. She also applies dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) skills when clients need tools for emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and improving interpersonal effectiveness, which can be helpful for intense emotions and relationship challenges. In addition, she draws on client-centered principles that prioritize empathy, active listening, and collaboration so that treatment aligns with each person’s values and goals.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic work. Burrell tailors methods in partnership with each client - listening to needs, clarifying goals, and adjusting techniques over time so the plan fits the individual rather than forcing a single model on every situation.

Online therapy with her is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, giving clients flexibility to choose the format that suits their schedule and comfort level. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care during life transitions, balance therapy with other responsibilities, and access licensed professionals from different locations.
