Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Client-Centered Therapy places the client’s experience at the forefront, offering a respectful, nonjudgmental space where the therapist follows the client’s lead and helps them explore values, goals, and personal strengths - it is often helpful for self-esteem, relationship issues, and life transitions.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and shifting unhelpful thoughts and behaviors through practical exercises and skills-building, making it useful for anxiety, depression, stress, and coping with everyday challenges.

Motivational Interviewing uses collaborative conversation to strengthen a person’s own motivation for change, which can support work on addictions, ambivalence about relationship or career choices, and other goals that require commitment.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic work. Duncan collaborates with each client to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adapting techniques over time as progress unfolds.

Online therapy with licensed professionals offers flexible access to care through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to schedule sessions around work, family, or mobility constraints and allow clients to engage in therapy from locations that feel most comfortable for them.
