About Colleen
Colleen Duncan is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Oregon with 14 years of experience. She focuses on helping people facing depression, anxiety, stress, relationship strain, and life changes. Colleen offers a calm, warm presence and aims to make the first steps feel manageable for someone who is worried or overwhelmed.
Her sessions are collaborative. She works with each person to set clear, achievable goals and to break them into small steps. Colleen adapts her approach to what feels useful in the moment, drawing on a mix of evidence-informed methods rather than a single fixed style.
Colleen commonly uses techniques from cognitive behavioral approaches to help people notice unhelpful thinking and try different behaviors. She also draws on acceptance and commitment ideas to help people clarify values and take committed action. Attachment-informed thinking guides work around close relationships and patterns that repeat across time.
She has supported people dealing with trauma, addictions, grief, parenting stress, body image and eating concerns, caregiver fatigue, codependency, and feelings of isolation. Colleen aims to combine practical problem solving with empathic listening so people can make steady progress toward what matters to them.
To begin, she asks clients to identify one or two goals to focus on and then tracks progress in short, concrete steps. Colleen encourages honesty about what’s working and what isn’t, and she adjusts the plan based on each person’s needs.
