About Sarah
Sarah Duncan is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in Texas and Tennessee with nine years of clinical experience. She helps people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strain, and life changes. She also works with issues related to addictions, family of origin concerns, and codependency patterns.
She uses clear, practical methods in sessions. Sarah draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thinking and try different behaviors. She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people clarify values and take small steps toward them. Mindfulness and Narrative approaches are woven in to help people notice patterns and reframe the stories they tell about themselves.
Sessions focus on concrete skills and short-term plans as well as longer conversations about what matters. Sarah includes financial therapy when money and stress are connected, helping people talk about finances without shame. She brings attention to caregiver stress, aging concerns, and career or midlife transitions.
Her style is direct and respectful. People who struggle with people-pleasing, trouble saying no, or living around another person’s drinking may find practical tools to try between sessions. Work can include boundary-setting, coping strategies for mood disorders, and steps to reduce compulsive caretaking.
To begin clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session. Costs vary by location and sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Sarah often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy in her work. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors, which can be practiced during and between online sessions. ACT helps people name their values and take small, values-driven steps; that work can be done through exercises and short assignments shared in session.She also brings a client-centered perspective that emphasizes listening and reflecting back what matters. That makes the process collaborative - the therapist and client decide together which approach fits current needs, goals, and preferences. Adjustments are common as people try strategies and report what helps.
Session formats are not specified in the profile, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life - they save travel time, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and can be scheduled around work or caregiving. Licensed professionals can use these sessions to teach boundary-setting, practice coping techniques, and follow up on homework between meetings.
