Sarah Duncan

Sarah Duncan is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Texas with nine years of practice. She helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship and family concerns, depression, and coping with life changes. Her profile also notes work around addictions, trauma and abuse, and life purpose issues.

She uses a mix of practical talking and structured techniques. Sessions often focus on identifying what matters to the person and making small changes that fit daily life. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) tools are used to notice and adjust unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) ideas show up in work about values and meaningful action.

Mindfulness and narrative approaches are also part of the practice. Mindfulness practice helps people notice patterns of thought and emotion without reacting immediately. Narrative work looks at the stories people tell about themselves and opens space to consider alternate perspectives.

Sarah also brings financial therapy into conversations when money and stress connect. That can mean looking at money habits, financial priorities, or how money worries influence relationships and self-worth. She notes experience with aging and caregiver stress as part of her broader focus.

Her style is straightforward and collaborative. People who feel stuck after a life change or who are questioning what comes next can expect a mix of practical exercises, conversational reflection, and goal-focused planning. Getting started involves a short matching questionnaire and scheduling a first session.

Therapeutic approaches and how they work online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying personal values and taking small actions that reflect those values. It can help when someone feels directionless after a life change or struggles to move past avoidance. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at connections between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and uses practical exercises to change patterns that cause distress. That approach is often helpful for anxiety, depression, and mood concerns.

Mindfulness therapy helps people become more aware of moment-to-moment experience and reduce reactivity to strong emotions. Together these approaches give both short-term tools and longer-term perspective on what matters most. Sarah works collaboratively to figure out which combination fits a person’s needs, goals, and preferences rather than assuming one way will suit everyone.

Confirm the current session options before booking, since specific formats are not listed here. Many people find online sessions make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow for shorter check-ins, or remove travel time. Talk with the therapist during the matching steps about what will best fit daily life and scheduling needs.
