Linda MacQuigg , LPCC

Linda MacQuigg is a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC) based in New Mexico with 25 years of professional experience. She draws on a long career supporting people as they cope with life changes, navigate addiction and recovery, address parenting challenges across developmental stages, and attend to the needs of military members including active duty service members and veterans.

Known for a practice grounded in respect, sensitivity, and compassion, she adapts conversations and treatment plans to fit each person’s distinct circumstances. Her approach emphasizes collaborative planning so that therapeutic work aligns with a client’s goals, values, and pace. Taking the first step toward a more fulfilling, happier life often takes courage, and she positions herself as a steady source of support throughout that process.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening with empathy and building a trusting relationship so the client can explore feelings and choices in their own way. It is useful for people facing life transitions, relationship concerns, and identity questions.

Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple ways to notice thoughts and emotions without judgment, helping to reduce reactivity and increase present-moment coping. This approach can support people dealing with stress, cravings in recovery, and ongoing emotional challenges.

Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on practical steps and small changes that move a person toward their goals, making it helpful for clients seeking concrete strategies for parenting issues, addiction recovery, or day-to-day problem solving.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic work. Linda will collaborate with each person to identify which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, and may blend approaches as appropriate while working together to refine the plan.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet, including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, accommodate different communication styles, and maintain continuity of care across distances, while still allowing meaningful therapeutic connection with licensed professionals and therapists.
