Linda Burrell , LMHC

Linda Burrell is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) practicing in Florida with 12 years of professional experience. She graduated at the top of her class from Nova Southeastern University and began her clinical training with an internship at Harbor House, a domestic violence shelter. Her background includes substantial work in federal healthcare settings, including the Veterans Healthcare System and counseling roles with the Department of the Army and the Department of the Navy, where she supported service members with mental health and career counseling needs. She has also served in local social services agencies, delivering care in both individual and group formats for adults, adolescents, and children.

Her practice addresses a broad range of concerns such as PTSD and military sexual trauma, substance use and addiction, depression and anxiety, adjustment challenges, bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, personality disorders, domestic abuse, relationship and family problems, grief, sleep difficulties, parenting struggles, and career-related stress. She often relies on cognitive behavioral approaches to help clients identify and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns, while adapting methods to fit each person’s circumstances. Client-centered principles guide her work, with an emphasis on building rapport, trust, and mutual respect, and she integrates other strategies such as DBT and mindfulness when appropriate.

Linda approaches therapy with genuine empathy and a focus on collaboration. She acknowledges that exploring thoughts, feelings, and personal history can be uncomfortable at times, and she frames that process as part of meaningful change. Progress depends on the client’s openness and commitment, and she partners with clients to set goals and move toward improved coping, functioning, and well-being.
