In the short time that I have known Linda Duffy, she has been nothing short of incredible. She offers sound advice, extremely effective coping mechanisms for my trauma, and has shown me a path forward that I didn’t even realize was there. I am truly grateful for Linda, and I wouldn’t be where I am today without her guidance. I highly recommend this therapist to anyone who is suffering with PTSD or substance abuse.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.

She is great!
Linda , quickly understood me and how to help my issues
Honestly, this short review will not do Linda Duffy justice. She is just amazing. I really love my sessions with her and they make a world of difference for my mental health and state of mind. Linda helps me feel proactive about my problems and more proactive about the things I can do (without me even realizing she is helping to steer me in the right direction). It’s as if I’m doing it all on my own which makes me feel empowered as heck. I love that about Linda’s style. I think everyone should be in therapy. Even helping me take a moment to soak in the GOOD things is extremely helpful and something I just miss out on without having Linda Duffy as my therapist.
Very helpful
Linda is wonderful. She took the time to listen and understand me. Even just a few sessions were incredibly helpful. She is extremely knowledgeable and I can’t recommend her enough!
I feel very understood by Linda and I feel hopeful after every session. She is very involved in our sessions and I feel she is doing her best to help me understand my feelings and learn to overcome them . I look forward to every session with her
Linda has been very helpful and really listens and offers helpful tips.
Linda has been extremely helpful in improving my life. I came to her in shambles in the midst of a toxic relationship and Linda has helped me regain my confidence and old self after leaving the relationship. Highly recommend her for any life issues you may be having, especially ones regarding relationships.
Linda is extremely knowledgeable and creates such a comforting and safe space when talking with her. She is kind, understanding and truly listens with great feedback. She has help overcome so much in such a short amount of time and I always feel excited for our next appointment. 6/5 stars!
She's great and seems to have a fundamental understanding of my issues
