More about me

Years in Practice: 20 State: Florida

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! :)

About online counseling

Online counseling allows you to receive care from an online mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.

Overall

Ms. Allen is patient, kind, supportive, and an excellent listener. She has helped me a lot, and I greatly appreciate that. She has provided me with great insights and helped me understand my current situation. I live abroad, and although there is a significant time difference, she has been flexible about her schedule. After one session, I knew I was lucky to have been matched with her. Thank you!

I love this woman. May God bless her and keep her.

Linda is always here for me, supportive and listens to my ideas and offers suggestions to make things easier and less stressful. She is highly recommended.

Linda is a wonderful human and I am so happy to have been matched with her! She listens and actively follows up with me, I feel like I get a very big & warm hug whenever we speak.

I was apprehensive in starting therapy and didn’t know what to expect. Linda was exactly what I needed. She is very good at what she does and has given me tools to help with areas I struggle. Our conversation are wonderful and I have left both sessions feeling better about my situation and with goals to help keep me focused. This has definitely been a WIN for me!

My therapist Linda is amazing. From the second she got on the video chat I felt so comfortable. I felt like I had known her my whole life. I enjoy the encouraging messages and skills to work on for myself. She's a blessing!

Linda is caring and insightful.

Ms. Allen gets to the point in a bubbly way. She listen and talks you through your emotions without over powering opinion or judgement. Yes I would recommend her if you are looking for that mothers touch that you grew up with.

I love working with Linda!! I have very little experience with therapy/counseling so I was extremely nervous initially, but Linda is so kind and personable, I now always look forward to our sessions!

Miss Linda is a wonderful ray of light. Consider her your pocket of sunshine on a rainy day. Each session is started with a bright and contagious smile that melts the barrier of disconnection we face in our day to day life. In a world where everyone wants connection but avoids eye contact, Miss Linda is a reminder of the warmth and love that exists within us all. Thank you Miss Linda

Linda is always honest and supportive. She has been such a blessing to me through a very hard time in my life.

Linda is understanding and is able to relate to my experiences even the difficult ones. I would recommend her to anyone that is having life struggles. Her friendly demeanor and application of tools is unbeatable. You’re amazing Linda thank you for helping me through a hard season of my life I will be forever grateful!

Linda is the best !!

Ms. Linda is such a humorous, kindhearted, and personable therapist. I am so glad I was matched with her! I feel like I’ve been making progress already, and we’ve only just begun our sessions. I feel hopeful knowing I have her in my corner.

I have been with Linda for about 3 weeks now, and I feel as though I’ve known her my whole life. Like should be a long list Aunty that I always needed. I definitely recommend Linda, she is receptive, understanding. She is truly a listening therapist and absolutely willing to help!

Linda is sunshine personified, her expertise and advice has been invaluable. Just me working with her has benefited my whole family and life.

Linda is the best! She has deep experience working with a variety of people, is enthusiastic and a good listener, and consistently shows she wants the best outcome for me. I think she genuinely loves her job. She's good at getting the conversation going, even by using her own stories to share perspective, and helping to steer where it needs to go to bring insight and healing.

Linda is FANTASTIC!!

Linda Allen is absolutely amazing, she has this positive contagious energy that lifts my days up at every session. She is truly helping me get better, my first therapist on this platform and I wouldn't change her for anybody else!

I have had one session with Linda she is warm , compassionate and wise

Linda has been such a blessing to me in such a hard and dark season of my life.

Linda is more than a therapist, she is a friend !

Linda is the best — she is an angel with lots of wisdom and practicality.

I am very comfortable talking to Dr. Allen. I enjoy our sessions.

Linda has really helped me held me myself in ways that have been so helpful.

Linda's is an amazing listener and gives wonderful insight and help.

Linda Allen has been such a wonderful therapist. She is understanding about the struggles I face and offers compassionate advice that doesn’t reduce or belittle my feelings. The inherent positive nature of each session I have been in has been so helpful in my journey to improve myself despite the negative things that used to hinder my progress. I was so anxious about my first session on this app, but that dissolved so quickly because she is so accepting and encouraging. Linda Allen is honest and kind. She provides great work sheets, as well as other resources that allow me to keep on task for my mental health journey outside of each session. In the past, any therapy I tried was an experience I dreaded every time. I feel so lucky to have been matched with her and look forward to therapy each week.

She is terrific

She very understanding, if I met her in person, I would run up to her a hug her. Warm and friendly personality, she's very professional and she makes me laugh.

Ms. Linda is such a passionate therapist who truly cares. I really appreciate her heart and concern she shows in each session.

Miss Linda is the best therapist I’ve ever had. She always brings joy into our sessions and reminds me of my heart. She gives me plenty of opportunities to do self work which I appreciate and need. I love Miss Linda and highly recommend her.

Linda is so patient and kind, with a great sense of humor thrown in. She can be a little talkative, but I really liked her advice and gentleness.

Linda Allen’s skills, experience, compassion and understanding helped me move forward during one of the most challenging moments. She is a ray of light! I appreciate her sense of humor and lighthearted approach. If you ever need someone who intentionally listens and challenges you to step outside of yourself - she is definitely recommended. Disclaimer: you may get some fun worksheets that will help you further define your concerns and/or address what you may not be aware of… I enjoyed them. Very insightful! FIVE STARS ⭐️ all around! She went above my expectations.

Simply amazing.

Love Linda Allen! She is fantastic and would recommend her in a heartbeat!

I love Miss. Linda !!

Linda is Amazing! Going on week three and things are looking up for me!

She is a great listener and breaks down your emotions with examples with her life and others so you can understand better what you are going through and can work on it easier

Love Linda!!! She’s the best, and always will hear you out on anything you need to talk about! She makes me feel safe to bring up topics I’ve never felt comfortable telling anyone else before. She’s kind, warm, and receptive. She’s the best, completely recommend!

She’s nice, friendly, high energy, listens, tries to pull you out of your shell, always asks what you think and how you feel about things to figure out the best way to help you with what you want to work on, very flexible and accommodating of irregular or busy schedules so if your life is hectic, it’s ideal. Black lady therapist (excellent) and understanding of lgbtq issues. All around great.

Meeting Linda is one of the best experiences I ever had in my entire existence. Before starting my therapy sessions with Linda, I had a long history of negative past experiences and felt that I was carrying my past with me as a heavy load. From the first day, I started to experience letting go of the weight by accepting my flaws and taking ownership of my life. It felt relieving, it felt safe. Learning about mechanisms to manage stress and anxiety was essential. Tools and exercises shared during the sessions enabled me to distinctly identify my issues and address them in a more detailed way. The effects are profound and lasting. Linda is soft and gentle, she speaks to the soul. She is indeed a healer. Thank you for bringing my broken pieces together, for making me whole, for igniting energy within my soul, for giving me the strength to rise fiercer, and for putting a smile on my face. Thank you, Linda, thank you Betterhelp

Linda has a unique way of gently reminding me of what is a priority , myself. I appreciate her input and value her expertise.

Mrs. Linda Allen is a Godsend. She is extremely funny, smart, awesome personality, Godly women, very informative and much more.

Amazing therapist

I love Ms. Linda, she understands me and is so patient with me. She’s also very relatable and her words are like the gospel to me. Very soothing and understanding.

She is amazing. I love how she uses her own life experiences to open my eyes and help me understand my experiences and why I’m feeling whatever it is I’m going through. I learn more than I anticipate every session, and I can’t express how important it has been to have a therapist with a relationship with Jesus Christ. She just has a way of bringing everything into perspective, and I really appreciate her ability to help me deconstruct my feelings and provide insight into things in a way I can’t. I can’t recommend her enough.

I love Linda and have recommended her to friends. She is truly an angel!! ❤️

Linda was great and I felt so comfortable!

I love her so much ...she is religious and reminds me of how great GOD is every time i speak to her .. she is so calming and supportive and she makes my problem seem very simple with her soft words .. she listens very well and remembers whatever i tell her .. i see light at the end of the tunnel whenever we talk ..she is simply the best ♥️

She is absolutely amazing,positive, and just what I needed.

Thank you!

Mrs. Allen is a super sweet beautiful soul! She makes you feel so special, she’s very motivating and inspiring. I love when she say “ooooookkkkkaaaayyyy! She’s hilarious. I look forward to our calls weekly!

Miss Linda and very knowledgeable and has been in the field for many years and has a lot of experience. She is funny and very relatable.

I am extremely happy to be working with my therapist, Linda Allen. She’s been a big blessing in my life. I highly recommend her. ❤️

I really felt comfortable on day one with Linda. I cried and opened myself up to therapy. Never in a million years would I ever think, that I, would be speaking with a therapist about issues that no one knew but God. Well I thank the Lord for Mrs. Linda. I love her, she listens to me, I have homework and we discuss how I feel about my answers. It's just been a blessing. I just completed my first month and will be renewing.

Linda is kind, funny, and very easy to talk to she provides great responses and insight into relationship problems, trauma, and anxiety. Would reccomend

Linda is the best therapist I’ve ever had, no exaggeration. She listens and doesn’t judge. She pushes me to achieve my goals without making me feel overwhelmed. I can open up about my past with no judgment.

Linda, goes out of her way to make a connection with me. She is a great listener and uses examples to connect with me. She is also good at positive reinforcement. She takes good notes and picks up on topics discussed in the past.

She’s wonderful!!

Linda is very experienced and offers ways to help with the struggles I’m currently facing. There is no rush nor judgment on her part. She seems to know my exact feelings without me even explaining.

Linda is extremely understanding and helpful

So warm and affectionate, sessions feel like you’re chatting with a really supportive friend which helps a lot for hesitant therapy newcomers.

She's been amazing so far. I might not be alive if it wasn't for her this episode

Goes above and beyond with scheduling, time spent in session, and replying to messages quickly. She has lots of diverse experience in the mental health field and takes a multi-dimentional approach to patient care. Can be long winded at times, but great therapist. She also has an excellent memory which makes you feel like you don't need to repeat yourself and that you're on the same page.

Linda is absolutely awesome!! I’ve been working with her for a few months now and I really feel like I have someone in my corner. I always look forward to my sessions with her! She’s a caring and compassionate person, you can definitely feel she wants you to improve and get better. I feel like I’m able to talk to her about whatever I need!

Linda has been so amazing and a great listener but also someone that challenges me with my issues and talks to me in a way where my issues seem more manageable with the right help. Highly recommend Linda to anyone

Linda has been an amazing therapist and never judging or scolding. Looking forward to continuing to speak with her

It could have been a 40 year curse I came to you with, but I can see you light and I know to follow this. Even though it is provoking some very seriously deep rooted issues, I feel safe... that's golden.

Linda's voice is like an angel,so soothing and motherly.I feel like I am touched by an angel.

I was paired with Linda and honestly I am extremely happy that I was connected with Linda. I've been to other therapist before and didn't feel like I connected to them, but with Linda, I feel connected. She really takes her time to listen, and guide you through your problems. She also provides worksheets to work on that goes in hand with your current situation and they are helpful. I highly suggest Linda! She is a beautiful soul!
