Linda Blackburn is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with twenty years of experience helping people manage anxiety, depression, grief, stress, and sleep problems. She works with adults who are coping with life changes, relationship and intimacy concerns, parenting strain, addiction struggles, and career stress. Linda speaks plainly and focuses on building a trusting relationship to begin real, practical work together.

She trained first as a registered nurse and then completed a Master of Social Work through an advanced standing program at East Carolina University. That background shaped her careful, practical style and her interest in how biology and behavior interact in mental health. Linda has run an outpatient private practice for more than ten years and has taught social work courses as an adjunct professor.

Her approach is flexible and tailored to each person. She uses methods that include client-centered conversation, cognitive behavioral strategies, acceptance and commitment ideas, mindfulness practices, and goal-focused solution work. Sessions often combine symptom-focused skills with attention to values and life goals.

Linda has presented seminars on grief and loss in multiple states and has worked with a wide range of diagnoses over her career. She emphasizes respect, sensitivity, and a nonjudgmental attitude while helping people try new ways to manage difficult feelings and daily routines.

People who choose Linda can expect a practical, collaborative process. She helps you set small, doable goals, try specific strategies for sleep and stress, and adjust plans as needed to fit everyday life.
