About Thomas
Thomas Duncan is a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) who focuses on practical help for people dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, addictions, grief, and life changes. He aims to teach skills that make a real difference quickly, so therapy does not have to become a long-term expense. He emphasizes straightforward, goal-focused work that lets people regain momentum in daily life.
He prioritizes short-term, skills-based sessions that target current problems. That can include strategies for managing strong emotions, handling relationship strain, reducing substance use, or coping with loss. He expects to work alongside each person to build tools they can use between meetings.
Thomas draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. He uses ACT to help people notice what matters to them and take action despite painful thoughts. He uses CBT to identify unhelpful thinking and practice different responses.
With 14 years of experience, he brings a pragmatic approach to common concerns such as parenting stress, career frustration, and feelings of emptiness or isolation. He also addresses issues like forgiveness, guilt, and self-esteem in focused sessions.
