About Laura
Laura Duncan is a licensed social worker who focuses on helping people navigate emotional challenges. She brings nine years of experience to work with stress, anxiety, grief, depression, and changes in life circumstances. Laura helps clients build practical skills for coping and strengthening everyday relationships.
She uses a mix of approaches to match each person's needs, including attachment-based ideas, client-centered conversation, cognitive behavioral tools, mindfulness practices, and motivational interviewing. Sessions aim to be collaborative and paced to what the person feels ready to try. Laura emphasizes clear, manageable steps rather than jargon or long plans.
Common concerns she addresses include self-esteem, parenting strain, trauma and abuse, intimacy-related issues, eating and body image worries, ADHD, bipolar mood concerns, and career or caregiver stress. She also supports people dealing with abandonment, adoption and foster care matters, blended family questions, and living with chronic illness or pain.
Her work often focuses on helping people notice patterns in relationships, name difficult feelings, and test small changes that feel doable. Laura encourages practical strategies for managing anxiety and anger, alongside ways to build connection and repair communication. She practices in Michigan and offers sessions in English.

How her approaches translate to online therapy
Attachment-based work focuses on the ways early and close relationships shape how people relate now. In therapy this often means identifying recurring patterns in relationships and practicing new ways of connecting that feel safer and more dependable.Client-centered therapy centers the person's experience and priorities. The therapist listens deeply and follows what matters most to the client, helping them find their own solutions rather than prescribing steps.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It uses short exercises and practical experiments to reduce anxiety, shift negative thinking, and change behaviors that get in the way of daily life.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what feels most useful, then try methods that fit the person's needs. This collaborative process helps shape each session to be relevant and manageable.
Because the original biography does not list specific online session formats, confirm current session options before booking. Many people find online sessions easier to fit into busy days, help them maintain continuity during transitions, and reduce travel time. Other practical benefits include shorter check-ins when needed and options that work around work and caregiving schedules.
