About me

Hello, I am Dr. Linda F. Pendleton, MSW, LCSW. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in the state of Mississippi. I earned my Master degree in Social Work at the University of Southern Mississippi and my Doctorate degree (PhD) in the Philosophy of Social Work. I began my training in 1990, under a well-known therapist and in 2011, I started my private practice. I have over 30 years of experience in the state of Mississippi.

I provide psychotherapy to children, adolescents, young adults, couples, veterans and the geriatric community. I have extensive training in a range of modalities including, cognitive behavioral therapy, strength-based coaching, and family-therapy. I am an educator to graduate and doctorate students who are pursuing their goal of becoming therapists themselves.

I am passionate about cooking and baking for my family and friends. I am an avid football fan and enjoy all music genres. I am zealous about exercising in doors and outside.

I look forward to guiding you in a discovery of seeking your best life, one step at a time.

Reviews

These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Dr. Linda Pendleton. 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.

Dr. Pendleton has helped a lot in the short time I have had her. She has helped me realize the confidence that I lost. It helps when she challenges my perception of things, because it makes me think, and every one needs to think about who they are.

Written on May 12, 2024 after therapy with Linda for 2 weeks on issues concerning depression, stress, anxiety, addictions, lgbt, relationship issues, family conflicts, trauma and abuse, intimacy-related issues, self esteem, career difficulties, coping with life changes, compassion fatigue, and adhd

Dr. Pendleton has been good about helping me with the grieving process of the loss of my mother in law and best friend and daughters pastor. She has been helpful with giving tips for me on how to deal with my father's cancer. She's also good at responding to my messages quickly. She's real and gives suggestions that can be applied in life to help make improvements where necessary. She tells it like it is but is compassionate and shows a genuine concern for her patients well being. She has given me helpful advice for my daughter also who has ADHD and ODD. She really is a God send.

I appreciate Dr. Pendleton, reaching out to me when I have been radio silent for more than a couple days. Living in a bit of a tricky situation with my son as he lives with schizoaffective disorder, and I am desperately trying to learn new skills to navigate this reality.

Dr Pendleton is a lifesaver literally.
She makes you confront your reality with a good sense of humour, lovingly and in a non- judgmental manner.
I’m blessed she turned out to be my therapist. God certainly knew what he was doing when that happened!
