Hello My name is Laverne P. Hoffler-Duckworth, I have been in the counseling field since 2009. Over the course of 10 years, I have gain experience in the drug and alcohol field and became empathetic towards individuals with substance abuse issues due the epidemic of drug overdoses in our society. My practice serves individuals who are struggling with various issues, such as relationships, self esteem, drugs and alcohol, bullying, anger management, grief and loss and other mental hurdles. I help clients who feel that their life is spiraling out of control, gain self-discipline and develop coping strategies, which ultimately leads them to inner peace. Take the first step and contact me. Together we work through your concerns and get you on the road to recovery so that life is meaningful again. I am a therapist who will support yet hold you accountable at the same time. I have a gentle approach and desire to help you find coping strategies that will help you have lasting change.

About online counseling
- Affordable.

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.

Laverne is amazing. She listens without judgement and challenges me to reach my goals.
VERY HELPFUL,ATTENTIVE,UNDERSTANDING & STRAIGHT FORWARD.ALTHOUGH I DIDN’T HAVE THE ABILITY TO PERSONALLY MEET LAVERNE SHE GAVE ME GOOD ENERGY AND REASSURANCE THAT I AM AS MEANINGFUL AS ANY PARTNER OR POTENTIAL IN MY FUTURE EVEN IF IT BE A EX.. THANK YOU FOR THE EXPERIENCE & GREAT ADVICE.
I'm one month into my therapy session and I'm so happy that I'm doing this for myself. Mrs Hoffler-Duckworth had been great.
Laverne is such a great counselor. She listens to me and she always reassures me that what I feel is normal. She always encourages me.
Laverne is incredible. I’m so lucky to be on their journey with her
After working with Laverne for just a few sessions, I already notice a change in my daily behavior. Previously overcome with anxiety due to the current pandemic along with a recent injury, I finally decided to try therapy for the first time, and my meetings with Laverne make me wonder what took me so long. Laverne is clearly passionate about her profession and is such a great listener. She never fails to build me up and challenge me to tackle my anxiety head-on, and I am looking forward to many more sessions to come.
Laverne is caring, compassionate and understanding. I feel comfortable telling her things that I don’t really realize are bothering me until we correspond; she just has a really great listening ear. I appreciate all her help.
Working with Laverne has been a delight! She’s always on time for our sessions and she’s calm and patient with me. She has great suggestions for coping methods and she remembers everything you tell her. Wonderful to work with.
