How Duncan’s approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and understanding a person's experience. It helps people feel heard and then build their own steps forward. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at the connection between thoughts, feelings, and actions and gives simple exercises to test different ways of thinking and behaving.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Duncan will work with each person to identify goals and try methods that match their needs and preferences. If one way of working isn't helping, he adjusts the plan together with the client.

In general, working with a therapist online can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow a quicker check-in during a lunch break or between obligations. Some online arrangements also make it simpler to focus on homework tasks and to bring real-life situations into the work for discussion. Licensed professionals, including Duncan, aim to tailor session pacing and activities to match how a person lives and what they want to change.
