About Marie
Marie Duncan is a licensed marriage and family therapist with 25 years of experience who helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and life transitions. She speaks plainly and listens closely to understand what matters to each person. Her style is warm and encouraging, with room for both tears and laughter as clients work toward clearer goals.
Marie uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy alongside client-centered and solution-focused ideas to help people notice and shift patterns that cause pain.
Background and approach
She also draws on cognitive behavioral strategies and EMDR when trauma or strong reactions get in the way of daily life. Sessions focus on practical steps and on building more helpful ways of relating to emotions and to others. People come to her for help with relationship strain, parenting stress, grief, caregiving burdens, workplace problems, and feelings of isolation or low self-worth.
She also supports those coping with panic, post-traumatic stress, compassion fatigue, and major life changes. Her work often centers on restoring calm and connection so clients can move forward with more confidence. Marie is based in South Carolina and brings decades of clinical experience to each meeting.
She aims to create a straightforward path from where someone is now to where they want to be. That might mean short-term problem-solving or a longer process of healing and growth. Her approach is collaborative: she helps people set clear goals, practices new skills in session, and tracks progress over time.
The tone stays practical and hopeful, with concrete tools for coping and better communication.

Online support
Approaches that guide online work and healing
Emotionally-Focused Therapy helps people identify and change unhelpful patterns in close relationships by focusing on feelings and connection; it can be useful for relationship strain and intimacy-related issues. Client-Centered Therapy centers the person's experience and priorities, offering a supportive space where the therapist follows the client's lead and reflects what matters most. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is goal-oriented and practical, helping people notice thought patterns and try new behaviors to reduce anxiety, panic, and depression.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Marie will collaborate with each person to decide which blend of methods fits their goals, needs, and comfort level. That process can include trying short-term techniques and shifting to deeper emotional work if needed, keeping choices clear and shared throughout treatment.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to match different schedules and preferences. Video allows face-to-face work when a fuller conversation is helpful, phone calls can fit a quick check-in or when bandwidth is limited, and chat or messaging supports shorter check-ins and ongoing coaching between sessions. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent around work, caregiving duties, or other commitments.
