Practical, evidence-informed support through online therapy

Laura Duffy draws from approaches that focus on both insight and real-world skills. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a supportive, non-judgmental space where the client’s perspective leads the work, which can be especially helpful when building self-esteem, clarifying goals, and feeling understood during difficult life transitions.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on recognizing patterns in thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and practicing new ways of responding. It is often used to address stress, anxiety, low mood, and unhelpful habits by developing tools that can be applied between sessions. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) adds practical strategies for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness, which can be useful for intense emotions, impulsivity, and relationship challenges.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Laura works collaboratively with clients to identify what fits best based on their needs, goals, and preferences, and she can adjust the plan as therapy progresses.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect, including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These options can make it easier to stay consistent, fit sessions into a busy schedule, and access support from a familiar environment.
