About Lynn
Dr. Lynn Duffy is a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) in Maryland with 23 years of professional experience. She focuses on relationship concerns, trauma and abuse, grief, career issues, intimacy-related problems, sleep difficulties, parenting strain, anger, self-esteem, and coping with life changes.
She works with individuals and primarily with married couples in premarital and post-marital services using a specific protocol. She also offers brief, solution-focused therapy rather than long-term open-ended therapy. The practice does not provide disability-related services and will refer out when those needs arise.
Her approach includes Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Attachment-Based Therapy. Sessions aim to identify unhelpful thoughts and patterns, and then try alternative responses that can change feelings and behavior. She uses structured, practical techniques alongside discussions about relationship patterns and attachment dynamics.
Dr. Duffy notes limits to what can be handled in this format. If a situation involves active emotional, physical, sexual, or financial abuse, high conflict with potential violence, or other risks better served by a higher level of care, she will refer to another provider. Couples deciding whether to continue a marriage are also usually better served by mediation, chaplain services, or individual work.
She asks clients to be online at the scheduled time and to use wired headphones rather than Bluetooth when possible. Late arrivals, being in a vehicle while driving, having a third party present, public locations, or using substances during a session may lead to a missed appointment notation.
How her approaches translate to online work
Dr. Duffy uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thoughts and test new ways of responding. CBT focuses on practical exercises, thought records, and behavior experiments that clients can use between sessions to change patterns that keep problems going.She also draws on Attachment-Based Therapy to look at how early and adult relationship patterns shape expectations and reactions. That approach helps people notice interaction habits and practice different ways of connecting or setting boundaries.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. She works collaboratively with clients to match techniques to their goals and preferences, and adjusts the plan as progress or challenges appear.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current online options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, shorten check-ins when needed, or avoid travel time. It can also allow practical homework review, real-time role plays, and more regular, structured follow-up between meetings without promising a particular format.
