About Holly

Holly Duffy is a licensed marriage and family therapist (LMFT) with 15 years of clinical experience. She focuses on helping people set clear goals and make practical changes in daily life. Her manner is warm and connected, and she balances creativity with straightforward, focused work.

Holly meets each person where they are and adapts sessions to fit specific needs. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, creative or expressive techniques, and talk therapy depending on what will help most. Sessions often emphasize small, doable steps to shift thinking, behavior, habits, and routines.

Her work covers a wide range of concerns including stress, anxiety, depression, bipolar mood concerns, trauma and abuse, addiction, and issues with self-esteem. She also supports people dealing with grief, career difficulties, parenting strain, intimacy-related problems, and challenges related to ADHD or chronic illness. Holly pays attention to relational patterns, attachment issues, and communication problems that affect daily life.

Clients can expect practical ideas and gentle challenge. Holly uses creative exercises when they add value, and she will rely on direct conversation when that suits a person better. The aim is to help people notice small changes that add up to more satisfying routines and relationships.

Holly practices in California and conducts sessions in English. She welcomes international clients and tailors the approach to each person's goals and circumstances.

Approaches that guide online work and change

Holly commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Emotionally-Focused Therapy in her work. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on small, practical steps to change unhelpful thoughts, habits, and behaviors so daily life feels more manageable. Emotionally-Focused Therapy looks at emotional patterns in relationships and helps people notice and shift how they respond to strong feelings.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Holly treats this as a collaboration and will help you decide which methods fit your goals, preferences, and situation. She may combine approaches or try short experiments to see what helps most.

The original biography does not list specific online session formats, so please confirm current session options before booking. Many people find online sessions helpful for fitting therapy into busy schedules, shortening travel time, allowing a quieter check-in during a work break, or choosing whether to be on camera. Licensed therapists can adapt exercises and creative tools to remote sessions so practical progress can continue even when meeting remotely.
