About Marie
Marie Duncan is an LMFT (Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist) practicing in South Carolina with 25 years of experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, relationship and family concerns, parenting, grief, trauma and abuse, depression, and related life strains. Marie speaks English and works with adults who want practical help with everyday pressures at home and work.
She uses straightforward conversation and goal-focused work. Sessions often look at how thoughts, feelings, and behavior interact and then try small changes that can ease daily strain. She also brings in emotionally-focused methods for relationship concerns and EMDR for trauma when appropriate.
Marie describes therapy as a mix of steady listening, problem-solving, and moments of honest feedback. She aims to help people get clearer about what they want and to practice new ways of responding at home and at work. Topics commonly raised include parenting stress, caregiving burdens, workplace problems, and intimacy-related issues.
With a career spanning a quarter century, she has supported people through major life changes, loss, panic, and long-term patterns that leave them feeling stuck. Expect a practical pace that balances short-term goals and deeper personal work. She also uses solution-focused techniques to build on what already works in a person’s life.
To begin a series of sessions the process involves completing a short matching questionnaire and scheduling an initial appointment. Payment uses a cancellable subscription model that varies by location.
How sessions work
How her therapeutic approaches work online
Marie incorporates client-centered therapy, which focuses on listening and helping each person voice their concerns and goals. This approach helps clarify what matters most to the client and guides which next steps to try.She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to identify patterns of thinking and behavior that keep problems going. CBT involves practical exercises and small experiments to reduce anxiety, depression, panic, or unhelpful reactions at home and work.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Marie will discuss options together and choose methods that match the client's goals, needs, and preferences. That collaborative decision can shift over time as progress or new challenges appear.
The original biography does not list specific session formats. Please confirm which online formats are currently offered before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, allow shorter check-ins, and reduce travel time so appointments can happen between commitments. Therapists can also adapt exercises and homework for use between sessions so progress continues outside the meeting time.
