About Linda
Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Tennessee with 21 years of experience, Dr. Linda l Peoples helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and a wide range of life challenges. She works with issues such as anger, self-esteem, coping with life changes, grief, trauma and abuse, intimacy-related concerns, career challenges, and compassion fatigue. First responder issues are listed as an additional focus. Sessions are offered in English and international clients are not accepted.
Dr. Peoples uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Mindfulness Therapy to guide sessions. CBT is used to identify unhelpful thoughts and shift behaviors that keep problems active. Mindfulness Therapy involves short practices to increase present-moment awareness and reduce reactivity. She presents these approaches in straightforward ways so clients can apply them between sessions.
Her style is practical and solution-oriented. People can expect to talk through what is happening now, try small changes, and track how those changes affect daily life. She frames counseling as a place to gather new perspectives and make clearer decisions about next steps.
Since the pandemic, sessions have been offered by tele-health video or telephone. The practice uses a subscription model for sessions that can be canceled at any time, and costs vary with location. To start, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session via the See online therapy options button.
Dr. Peoples keeps language simple in sessions and focuses on concrete skills. The work is aimed at managing current problems and building practical ways to cope with stressors as they arise.

How CBT and Mindfulness shape online sessions
Dr. Peoples commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Mindfulness Therapy in remote sessions. CBT involves identifying patterns of thought that influence feelings and behavior, then testing small changes to see what helps. It is often used for anxiety, depression, anger, and career or relationship challenges. Mindfulness Therapy teaches brief attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and increase calm, which can support work on stress, grief, or compassion fatigue.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist discusses a person’s goals, symptoms, and daily routines, then suggests CBT, mindfulness, or a mix based on that discussion. Clients and the therapist review how methods are working and adjust the plan collaboratively.
The original biography indicates sessions are offered by tele-health video or telephone, so confirm current session options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and avoid travel time. Telephone sessions can be useful when lower bandwidth or not being on camera is preferred. The therapist will help decide which session style matches practical needs and goals.
