About Marie
Marie Duncan is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) practicing in South Carolina with 25 years of experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, relationships, family concerns, self-esteem, coping with life changes, trauma and abuse, grief, intimacy issues, parenting and career-related strain. She also addresses compassion fatigue and a range of related concerns listed in her specialties.
Marie uses practical talk-based methods and structured work in sessions. She draws on client-centered techniques to listen and reflect, cognitive behavioral tools to identify unhelpful thinking, emotionally-focused methods for relational patterns, solution-focused strategies for concrete change, and EMDR for trauma-related processing. Sessions are aimed at helping people manage symptoms and move toward goals.
Her style tends to be direct and goal-oriented while allowing space for emotion. In sessions she helps people sort through relationship patterns and communication problems. She offers approaches for grief, panic, post-traumatic stress, workplace issues, caregiver stress, and aging-related concerns.
Clients who prefer practical steps alongside emotional work may find this approach helpful. Marie integrates short-term strategies with deeper processing when needed. She also works on life-purpose questions, forgiveness, isolation, and women’s issues as part of her practice.
Sessions are conducted in English and she does not take international clients. Costs vary by location and use a subscription model that can be canceled at any time. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session through the online options button.

How therapeutic approaches shape online sessions
Client-centered work focuses on the person's experience and priorities. The therapist listens, reflects, and helps the client name what matters. This approach is useful when someone needs to clarify goals or feel heard before taking next steps.Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) looks at links between thoughts, feelings and actions. Sessions include identifying unhelpful thoughts and practicing small experiments to change behaviors. CBT can help with anxiety, panic, social fears, and mood management.
EMDR addresses trauma-related symptoms through structured processing techniques. It is used when past events are connected to current distress and the client and therapist agree this approach fits their goals.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss options and make decisions together with the client based on needs, goals and preferences. That collaboration helps shape session focus and pace.
Session formats are not specified here, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a workday, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. Therapists commonly adapt techniques so exercises and processing work well in a live remote setting.
