Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care with Laura Duncan

Laura Duncan integrates Attachment-Based Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) into her online practice. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current patterns and helps clients repair and strengthen bonds to reduce anxiety in relationships and improve intimacy. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a supportive, nonjudgmental stance where the therapist listens deeply and helps clients find their own solutions, which is useful for anyone seeking greater self-understanding and empowerment. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, offering practical tools for managing symptoms of anxiety, depression, and stress.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Laura works collaboratively with each person to determine what fits best for their needs, goals, and preferences. She adapts techniques as therapy unfolds so that the treatment aligns with the client’s pace and priorities.

Online therapy with Laura is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, providing flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels.
