About Laura
Laura Duncan is a licensed clinical social worker (LMSW) based in Michigan who focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, grief, and major life changes. She offers straightforward, compassionate support for everyday struggles like low self-esteem, relationship difficulties, and depression. Laura aims to make therapy feel practical and doable for people under pressure.
She draws on client-centered methods to create a respectful, nonjudgmental space where people set the pace. Attachment-based ideas guide how she looks at relationships and patterns that repeat across close connections. Cognitive behavioral techniques are used when helpful to identify thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going.
Laura brings nine years of clinical experience to her work in the region. That experience includes supporting people with trauma and abuse, intimacy-related concerns, ADHD, bipolar issues, caregiving stress, and coping with natural or human-caused disaster. She also addresses issues such as body image, eating concerns, and chronic illness or pain.
Sessions focus on clear, manageable steps people can take between meetings. Laura helps clients build coping strategies, improve communication, and strengthen resilience. Motivational interviewing and mindfulness practices are used to support change and reduce overwhelm.
People can expect practical conversation, goal-focused planning, and attention to how past relationship patterns shape present life. To begin, prospective clients follow the site process to match and schedule a session.
How her approaches shape online therapy
Laura uses client-centered work to keep sessions focused on each person's priorities. That approach means conversations are guided by what matters to the client, with the therapist listening closely and reflecting back concerns and goals.She also draws on cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) to break problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions that can be changed. CBT is useful for anxiety, depression, and repetitive negative thinking. Attachment-based ideas are used to look at relationship patterns and how early connections affect current responses, which can help with relationship struggles and intimacy-related issues.
Finding the right approach is part of the process, and Laura works collaboratively to figure out what fits best. She will talk about goals, preferences, and what methods feel most helpful, and then tailor sessions accordingly.
The therapist's biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm available options before booking. In general, online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also let people use practices like mindfulness between sessions and follow-up with concrete CBT homework to support progress.
