Holly Duffy, LMFT

Holly Duffy is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) in California with 15 years of clinical experience. She helps people work toward clear goals while they handle stress, anxiety, relationship strain, trauma, and life changes. Her work covers a wide range of concerns from parenting and blended family issues to depression, ADHD, and addiction-related problems.

She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to translate thoughts into practical steps. That often means small experiments in thinking and behavior to test what helps. Holly also blends talk-based therapy with creative or expressive techniques when those methods fit a person's style and goals.

Sessions are described in straightforward terms. Conversations focus on what the person wants to change and concrete ways to get there. Sometimes the work is short-term and action oriented, and sometimes it explores deeper patterns such as attachment or meaning using existential and Jungian ideas.

Holly pays attention to relationship dynamics and attachment issues when they appear. She can help people who are dealing with grief, intimacy questions, caregiver stress, or long-term mood problems. She often pairs thinking-based tools with emotional processing to address both symptoms and underlying patterns.

Her approach balances practical suggestions with reflective work. Clients who prefer creative exercises can use expressive tools alongside CBT. To begin, prospective clients are asked to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.
