Profile
About Me
I am la Licensed Professional Counselor and have worked in several clinical settings including schools, nonprofits, residential treatment facilities and community support centers. I currently work part time as a Military and Family Life Counselor. l have a Master’s degree from Boston University but my greatest teachers have been the diverse group of clients I have worked with in four different countries during the last twenty years. I believe that the client-therapist relationship is the most important component in healing and will make a sincere attempt to be available to help you utilize your strengths and overcome your struggles. My approach to counseling is nonjudgmental and together we can create concrete goals to help you reach your full potential.

About online counseling
- Affordable.
- Pay a low flat fee.
- Convenient.
- Do it at your own time and at your own pace. Communicate whenever you feel it's needed.
- Available now.
- There is no waiting list and no calls to make. Simply fill out a short questionnaire and send your first message.
Online counseling allows you to receive care from a 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.

She is a blessing for me. I could not have asked for a more perfect fit for a therapist. I am very grateful.

She is very understanding and very kind and caring
Have only had two sessions so far, but very pleased with Ms. Franga's consideration and insight. I was trying BetterHelp without much in the way of expectations (due to previous experience in another realm), but have been surprised by wanting to continue sessions, which must be due to Linda's experience and non-judgmental approach. Looking forward to more sessions :)
Linda has been extremely helpful through my healing process. She is insightful, compassionate, and REAL with her responses. She will not tell me what I want to hear, but what I NEED to hear and also provide extensions to help me achieve my goals. It has been wonderful to have someone help me get through the difficult times.
Linda is a total game changer. I look forward to meeting with her! I’ve got so much on my plate, and she helps me work through my anxiety. Thank you, Linda!
Thank you for your support, Linda ..you've been a huge blessing and support!
Caring and upfront support. She supplies extension and homework and understands my concerns and needs. She tells me what I need to hear, versus what I might want to hear.
Linda is a caring, compassionate counselor. She takes the time to listen and ask insightful questions, and checks in on me when I am not communicative. I appreciate the time she invests in helping me.
A true life saver. Linda is amazing. She is extremely knowledgeable and very professional.
I really benefited from my sessions with Linda. She's a great listener and provided me with very helpful insights. I can totally recommend her as a therapist.
Linda helped me through a really rough patch in my life last year! She guided me in seeing through the bad and broke things apart to explain why I was feeling that way. Finding the root cause was a big factor. She had great suggestions to keep me moving forward until I got a new job that works much better for my life!
Linda has provided very useful advice for my (I think) unusual situation. I appreciate her knowledgeable suggestions and her willingness to communicate ideas via the BetterHelp email outside my sessions.
Linda is awesome. She just gets me. She has wonderful advice and she really listens. I am very much enjoying my sessions with her. She has already given me useful tools to help me advance in my treatment. I look forward to future sessions.
I haven't spent a lot of time with her as of yet; however, things feel really good so far. I look forward to having her help me determine new skillsets that I will be able to use.
Linda is a great therapist and really knows and understands me I would recommend her to anybody who’s having a hard time in life
I have appreciated my interactions with Linda, and look forward to my next session with her. Thank you for her expertise in many areas, I am grateful to be paired up with her.
Linda has been very attentive to my needs & goals. She is VERY experienced & wise. I am really pleased with her!!!!
