Marie Duncan

Marie Duncan is a licensed marriage and family therapist with 25 years of clinical experience who helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, career worries, and relationship strain. She speaks plainly and offers steady support while helping clients set practical goals. Her style combines warmth with direct guidance so people can make change without getting overwhelmed.

Marie focuses on practical steps that fit into everyday life. She listens first, then helps clients identify small changes that reduce stress and increase energy. Sessions can include skills practice, problem solving, and attention to emotional patterns that keep problems repeating.

Her background includes long experience helping people recover from trauma and loss. She also works with parenting concerns, caregiver stress, aging and geriatric issues, and workplace problems. That range comes from a career spent supporting people through many life stages and transitions.

Her approach draws on client-centered work, cognitive behavioral strategies, emotionally-focused ideas, EMDR, and solution-focused methods. Marie adapts these approaches to each person's goals rather than applying a single set of techniques.

Clients who want a mix of practical tools and emotional understanding may find her approach useful. She encourages active participation and homework when that helps progress. To get started, prospective clients follow the site's matching and scheduling process to set an initial appointment.

How therapy methods translate to online work

Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and helping clients set their own goals. Online sessions using this approach focus on being heard, clarifying values, and deciding practical next steps. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts and behaviors feed each other and teaches skills to change unhelpful patterns; it works well for anxiety, panic, and mood concerns. Emotionally-Focused Therapy helps people identify and shift emotional responses that keep relationships and personal patterns stuck; it can help with intimacy-related issues and relationship strain.

Choosing the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals and preferences, then try methods that match those needs. That collaborative process can include trying different tools and adjusting direction as progress is made.

Session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week by removing travel time and allowing flexible scheduling. It can also allow shorter check-ins when a brief touch point is helpful, or let people choose not to be on camera when that reduces strain. Licensed professionals can use these options to match therapy to everyday life and goals.
