Charleen McDuffie

Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist

“Hi! My name is Charleen McDuffie and I am a Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist. Are you constantly thinking negatively about every situation or overthinking it all? Feelings of this nature can be exhausting and put a damper to your mental health and everyday life. Let's work together to solve your current concerns.”

About Me

I understand how constant negative thoughts and overthinking can drain your energy and affect daily life. Together, we can explore these patterns, making sense of what keeps you stuck. My aim is to help you gently unpack these concerns and find practical ways to lighten the load. If you are ready to shift from exhaustion to clearer thinking, I offer a collaborative space to begin.

Approach

When rumination feels relentless I help you slow the cycle and notice which thoughts hold the most weight so change becomes manageable. Sessions in Yokohama or online, in English, are steady and practical — we focus on one pattern at a time, try short experiments in-session, and use simple between-session checkpoints to track what shifts. The work blends attention to mood and stress with gentle reality-testing around career and cultural pressures so you can feel clearer and more able to choose your next step.
