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 struggling with stress, anxiety, depression, addictions, trauma and abuse, and life changes. She also works with concerns around relationships, intimacy, self-esteem, career questions, and issues related to aging and caregiving.
Sarah uses straightforward talking and practical tools in sessions. She draws from approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Client-Centered work, mindfulness, and Narrative Therapy. Sessions focus on what is happening now and on small, useful changes a person can try between meetings.
She offers help with money- and work-related strain and provides financial therapy when financial worries are part of the problem. She also addresses codependency, family of origin issues, divorce and separation, and substance-related concerns. Sarah pays attention to mood disorders including bipolar disorder and seasonal mood changes.
In the room she listens without judgment and helps people name patterns that get in the way of daily life. Conversations may include practicing new ways to talk to yourself, shifting unhelpful thinking, building mindfulness skills, and identifying values to guide decisions. Therapy is collaborative and goal-focused.
To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session. Sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time, and cost varies with location.
BHow sessions work
How therapeutic approaches are used in online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying personal values and taking steps that align with those values while accepting difficult thoughts or feelings. It can help with anxiety, stress, and life transitions by highlighting what matters most and using small actions to move forward.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behavior. It teaches practical skills to test unhelpful thoughts and change behaviors that keep problems in place. CBT is often used for anxiety, depression, and mood-related concerns.
Client-Centered Therapy centers on listening and reflecting so people can find their own solutions. This approach supports conversations about relationships, self-esteem, caregiving stress, and decisions about work or money.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will review needs, goals, and preferences and help pick or combine strategies that fit. That collaborative process can include trying different techniques and checking what helps between sessions.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm the current online options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. It also makes it practical to continue meetings when life or work schedules change, while the therapist and client evaluate what approach and session rhythm work best.
