About Laura
Laura Duncan is a Licensed Master Social Worker (LMSW) practicing in Michigan with nine years of experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, parenting strain, relationship and family concerns, trauma and abuse, and related issues such as ADHD and compassion fatigue.
She uses straightforward, person-focused conversations to help people clarify what matters most to them. Sessions aim to identify patterns that keep problems repeating and to try practical ways of responding differently. Many clients use the time to address parenting stress, navigate life changes, or manage mood and anxiety symptoms.
Laura draws on approaches like attachment-based work, cognitive behavioral techniques, and mindfulness to help people notice thoughts, feelings, and interactions that shape daily life. She also uses motivational interviewing and client-centered methods to set achievable goals and support sustained change.
Her background includes nine years of clinical experience across a range of emotional and behavioral concerns. She describes her role as helping clients build coping skills, strengthen relationships, and make concrete changes in how they handle stress and conflict.
Clients can expect practical tools alongside reflective conversation. Laura emphasizes boosting day-to-day functioning - improving communication, managing strong emotions, and finding steadier footing after loss or big changes. Her work often includes attention to parenting challenges and blended family issues.
Sessions are conducted in English and Laura works with some international clients. Fees vary by location and use a subscription that can be canceled at any time. To begin, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online work
Attachment-based work focuses on how past and present relationships affect feelings and behavior. Online sessions can be used to notice recurring interaction patterns and practice different responses to reduce relationship strain. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions. In online sessions CBT techniques can include examining unhelpful thoughts and testing new behavior between meetings to reduce anxiety or depression.Finding the right approach is collaborative. The therapist will listen to your concerns, discuss options like attachment-focused work or CBT, and help decide what fits your goals and day-to-day life. That plan can change over time as needs shift.
Confirm session formats before booking because the profile does not list specific options. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy around parenting, work, or medical appointments. Some formats let people meet without video, others allow shorter check-ins when time is tight, and some reduce travel time so sessions are simpler to attend. Discuss practical needs when you schedule your first session to find an arrangement that fits your routine.
