About Holly Duffy
Holly Duffy, LMFT (Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist), guides people toward specific goals and meaningful life changes while addressing emotional, traumatic, behavioral, social, and relational concerns. She brings a warm, connected, and artistic presence to her work, and she is direct and serious when the situation calls for it.
Holly approaches each person as an individual, adapting counseling to meet distinct needs and desired outcomes rather than using a one-size-fits-all model. Her practice blends practical, evidence-based techniques with creative approaches so that work in therapy can match a client’s style and goals.
Training and experience in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) inform much of her work. CBT emphasizes concrete, grounded actions to shift patterns in thinking, behavior, emotions, habits, and daily activities. When helpful, she combines CBT with expressive or creative therapies to support self-esteem and healthier relationships. For some people, straightforward talk therapy alone or paired with creative methods produces the most useful results depending on needs and goals.
Holly aims to help people increase contentment, satisfaction, and motivation as they continue to learn and make changes. She finds it rewarding to help clients identify and pursue daily goals, whether by offering ideas and practical steps, serving as a neutral observer, or providing space to process and reflect. Through gradual changes in thought and action, clients can begin to notice shifts that support a more fulfilling life.
