If you want to use your existing /home/user without any partition/file system changes, you can create a native dm-crypt+LUKS using a crypto storage container file in your existing home directory. The crypto storage container file acts like a virtual disk. You would mount it only when you need it. I use this method to store my financial records.
Anyone interested in how to implement a private crypto storage container using a file? If you are interested, please reply. If enough interest exist, a "how to" will be created and the discussion can continue.

Hi deck_luck, I'm definitely interested in seeing how to go through this! I've been learning about Linux for a few months now and coincidentally just recently started learning about encrypted storage. I hope there's enough interest, but in any case thank you for kindness.
Cheers!

Mmmh, too bad it doesn't seem to be a lot of interest. Just out of curiosity is this something that can be achieved with cryptsetup and luksFormat?
