About Sarah
Sarah Duncan is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with nine years of practice. She helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and family concerns, and the strain that comes with major life changes. She also supports those facing addiction, bipolar mood shifts, and issues around intimacy and self-esteem.
She takes a straightforward, client-centered approach in sessions. That means conversations focus on each person's experience and priorities. Sarah aims to make the room feel open and nonjudgmental so thoughts and feelings can be voiced honestly.
Her work draws on several practical methods, including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), cognitive behavioral techniques, mindfulness, narrative work, and Client-Centered Therapy. She blends these methods to match what a person needs in the moment rather than using a single fixed plan.
Sarah also brings a focus on money and caregiving stress when these are part of someone's challenges. She has experience addressing caregiver strain, aging and geriatric concerns, family-of-origin dynamics, codependency, and substance-related issues. Her background includes credentialing and practice in both Tennessee and Texas.
When someone starts therapy with her, sessions typically begin with listening and building goals together. She helps people identify practical next steps, coping tools, and small changes to try between visits. The aim is steady progress that fits into everyday life.
How therapeutic approaches shape online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and following the client's lead. The therapist creates space for someone to describe what matters most and then helps shape goals from that starting point. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) uses acceptance, values, and small committed actions to reduce the hold of painful thoughts and feelings and can help with anxiety, depression, and life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at patterns of thinking and behavior and teaches concrete skills to change unhelpful habits and improve mood.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with the person to discuss what feels useful, try techniques, and adjust methods over time. Goals, personal preferences, and day-to-day needs guide which approaches get used in sessions.
The biography does not list specific online formats, so confirm session options before booking. In general, online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Some approaches, like CBT skills practice or ACT-based homework, adapt well to remote conversations and phone or video check-ins, while narrative or mindfulness work can also be guided through conversation and exercises. Ask about the therapist's current session formats when you schedule to find what will work best.
