About me

I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor and Qualified Supervisor in the
State of Florida. I earned my Masters Degree in Counseling from Nova
Southeastern University in Fort Lauderdale, Florida in 2000. I have 20
years of professional counseling with a wide range of clinical training.
I have been able to assist individuals, couples and/or families deal
with life stressors with a focus on the presenting diagnostic issues:
depression, anxiety, mood, domestic violence, child welfare, dependency,
delinquency, parent/child conflict and trauma issues to name a few. I've
worked as a Foster Care Worker, Child Protective Services Counselor
and Protective Investigator in the State of Florida. I have years of
experience working with the Court System, Educational System and other community providers.

My counseling style is Eclectic Therapy with a primary focus on Client
Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Solution Focused Therapy models. I view myself
as eclectic because my intervention style is based on the assessment
process and what I see from an individualized standpoint is helping the
individual/couple/family achieve their specific needs and achieve success.

I am excited that you and/or your family have made a decision to
identify life issues/stressors and seek help for the concerns that
continue to be unresolved. This is truly tough love when we are able to
hang in there and provide therapeutic support for each other.

I look forward to the journal to success and being BETTER! :)

These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Linda Allen. We don't pay anyone to provide their review and they are all made voluntarily. Some people's experience receiving therapy with BetterHelp might be different.

I have been working with Linda for a few weeks now and I ALWAYS feel not only heard but understood! Which is so important to me. She always has a way of providing information either from her own knowledge or from her own experiences. I feel we were matched perfectly!

I love Linda! She keeps me grounded and knows how to address my main concerns during our sessions. She listens, and finds ways to relate. She offers relevant worksheets, which have actually helped me during difficult times. I feel heard and validated. She also has a way of offering a different perspective without questioning my own perspective. She’s amazing!
