Remote sessions using evidence-informed approaches



Linda Duffy offers online care that uses a combination of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Dialectical Behavior Therapy to address current concerns. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy supports exploration of values and committed action when facing difficult thoughts and emotions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying and adjusting unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. Dialectical Behavior Therapy provides skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and improving interpersonal effectiveness.

These approaches are used in a collaborative way: sessions can include skill teaching, reflective conversation, and attention to attachment patterns and relational dynamics. Clients who want both practical tools and attention to underlying relationship themes may find this mix to be a productive fit.

Remote appointments are available via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Scheduling, session format, and the balance of skills work versus exploratory therapy are decided together at the start and revisited as needed.
