As a licensed therapist in Michigan, I specialize in supporting individuals navigating complex emotional landscapes. My approach centers on compassionate, personalized care that honors each person's unique journey. I have extensive experience helping clients work through challenges like anxiety, depression, life transitions, and interpersonal dynamics.
My therapeutic practice focuses on empowering individuals to develop deeper self-understanding, build resilience, and cultivate meaningful connections. I'm particularly passionate about supporting young adults, women, and individuals experiencing significant life changes or emotional struggles.
Drawing from evidence-based practices, I create a supportive environment where clients can explore their experiences, develop healthy coping strategies, and move toward personal growth. Whether you're dealing with stress, relationship issues, self-esteem challenges, or seeking greater life purpose, I'm committed to walking alongside you with empathy and professional guidance.

About online counseling
- Affordable.
- Pay a low flat fee.

Online counseling, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions.
Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.

Love her
She is amazing!
Love her and I am amazed how much we have in common
Love you guys, love Laura Duncan like she's family I've never been able to talk to anybody about what happened to me and I never thought that I would be able to feel this comfortable
She’s very sweet and not judgmental
Laura is professional and listens. It is abundantly apparent that she really wants to find the root cause of an issue and asks questions until she can put the pieces together accurately. I would recommend her to apprehensive talkers too. She really digs in and gets you to open up.
Amazing
She’s been a good person to vent to.
Laura is fantastic! I can’t recommend her enough. She’s compassionate, driven, solution-oriented, very easy to talk to, funny, flexible, reliable - the list goes on! Laura is helping me reclaim my life with the ease of a long lost mentor and I couldn’t be more appreciative.
Laura has been a great source of support since my first session with her. Sessions with her always leave me feeling unburdened and with a clear frame of mind. She makes me feel comfortable and she is very easy to open up to.
Although we only worked together for a couple of months Laura helped me work through some difficult emotions and realise where they are coming from. She is very easy to talk to which I loved as I have found this difficult in previous therapy. I've learnt some tools I can take away with me and I know she will be there if I need to return, I am truly grateful for our time together. Thanks a million!
So far I have only had two sessions with Laura but the experience has been favorable.
Laura is a great professional who always gives valuable insights!
Laura is highly professional and a great listener. She is helping me with a complex issue and teaching me to navigate my personal and relationship issues with a step by step approach.
So far it's going well
Laura has been extremely kind and professional, and I appreciate that she is very easy to talk to!
