01About Colleen
Colleen Duncan is a Licensed Professional Counselor in Oregon with 14 years of experience. She focuses on helping people who are struggling with stress, anxiety, depression, addictions, trauma, and life transitions. Her tone is warm and supportive, and she aims to help clients take concrete steps toward feeling better.
Colleen emphasizes collaboration. She works together with each person to set clear goals and practical steps they can use between sessions.
Background and approach
Sessions are adapted to the client's needs and can include skills practice, problem solving, and mindset work. Her approach draws on several evidence-informed methods. Colleen mixes client-centered listening with cognitive behavioral techniques to challenge unhelpful thoughts and build new habits.
She also uses acceptance and commitment ideas to help people clarify values and take meaningful action. Attachment-based perspectives inform how she understands relationship patterns and intimacy concerns. Dialectical behavior strategies are used when people need skills for managing strong emotions or improving interpersonal effectiveness.
Colleen has supported people across a broad range of concerns including grief, parenting stress, body image and eating-related issues, ADHD, communication problems, and compassion fatigue. She respects each person's background and tailors sessions to what will be most useful right now. To begin, she asks people to identify a few priorities and then maps out small, achievable steps.
Her work focuses on practical changes that fit into everyday life and help people move toward goals they care about.

04Online support
How her approaches translate to online therapy
Colleen commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in her online work. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then take actions that match their values. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and practicing new behaviors to reduce anxiety and depression.She also brings an attachment-based perspective to relationship and intimacy concerns, helping people see how early patterns shape current reactions and offering new ways to connect and communicate. All of these approaches are described and tried together so the person can find what feels most helpful.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will talk with each person about problems, goals, and preferences, and then recommend techniques to try. Decisions are collaborative and can change as needs evolve.
Online therapy formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video sessions allow face-to-face interaction for skill practice and deeper conversation. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and messaging work well for brief check-ins, coaching-style support, and ongoing accountability between longer sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life.
