Online Therapy Grounded in Practical, Person-Centered Tools

Laura Duffy draws from evidence-informed approaches that can translate well to online sessions. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a supportive, non-judgmental space where the client’s perspective leads the work, which can be especially helpful when building motivation, strengthening self-esteem, and navigating difficult life transitions.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on noticing how thoughts, emotions, and behaviors interact. It can help clients develop practical strategies for managing stress, anxiety, depression, and unhelpful patterns that keep them feeling stuck. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) adds skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness, which many people find useful when coping with intense feelings, impulsivity, or relationship strain.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Laura collaborates with clients to clarify goals, identify what feels most helpful, and adjust the plan over time based on progress and preferences.

Online therapy also makes it easier to get consistent support in a format that fits real life. Sessions can take place through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, offering flexibility for busy schedules and different communication styles.
