Linda Carroll (born Linda Anne Risi; April 7, 1944)[2] is an American writer, marriage counselor, and family therapist.[3] Carroll received national attention in 1993 when one of her patients, the fugitive Katherine Ann Power, turned herself in to authorities after spending twenty-three years eluding police.[4] Carroll is best known professionally as a couples therapist[5] and as an author of three books, the latest being Love Cycles: The Five Essential Stages of Lasting Love, in 2014.[6]
She has worked as a couples therapist for more than 30 years. In addition to being a licensed psychotherapist, she is certified in Imago Therapy,[7] the couple's therapy developed by Harville Hendrix and Helen LaKelly Hunt.
She teaches workshops and delivers keynote addresses throughout the United States and is a frequent speaker at Rancho La Puerta in Tecate, Baja California, Mexico.[8]
Born and raised in San Francisco, Linda Carroll now lives in Corvallis, Oregon, with her veterinarian husband, Tim Barraud. She is the mother of singer and musician Courtney Love, and the daughter of novelist Paula Fox.
