About Lynn
Dr. Lynn Duffy is an LCPC (Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor) licensed in Maryland with 23 years of experience. She works with people who are dealing with relationship strain, trauma and abuse, grief, career pressures, intimacy concerns, sleep problems, parenting stress, anger, and self-esteem issues.
She focuses on practical, time-limited work and offers Brief Solution Focused Therapy in this practice. She also brings Attachment-Based Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy into sessions when helpful. Her approach is straightforward: talk through the immediate problem, identify small changes that make a difference, and build on what is working.
She primarily sees married couples for premarital and post-marital services under a specific protocol, and also sees individuals for relationship and related concerns. She is not able to provide disability-related services and will refer out when an issue needs a different level of care.
When a situation involves emotional, physical, sexual, or financial abuse, or any high-conflict or potentially violent circumstances, she will refer clients to other providers or higher levels of care. Couples deciding whether to continue a relationship are usually better served by mediation, chaplain services, or individual work rather than what she offers here.
For online meetings she requests clients be ready at the scheduled time, wearing headphones, and not driving or in public settings. She prefers wired headphones rather than Bluetooth. Sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time and missed appointments may be notated as a no-show under certain conditions.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online work
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape how people connect now. Online sessions using this approach focus on patterns in relationships, how people respond to closeness, and practical steps to change interaction styles. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions. In brief online work CBT tools help identify unhelpful thinking, test new behaviors, and practice changes between sessions.Choosing the right approach is collaborative. She will discuss which methods fit a person’s needs, goals, and preferences and adjust plans as work progresses. The focus is on clear goals and small, measurable steps rather than open-ended long-term therapy in this service.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm available options before booking. Online work can make sessions easier to fit into busy days, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. For practical reasons she asks clients to be on time for scheduled meetings and to use headphones, preferably wired, to help keep conversations focused and reduce background interference.
