Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care
Buddy Duncan draws on cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) to help clients identify and change unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors. CBT is a practical, skills-focused approach often used for anxiety, depression, stress, and coping with life changes. It emphasizes strategies clients can use between sessions to reduce symptoms and improve daily functioning.
He also incorporates client-centered principles, which prioritize the individual’s experience and strengths. This approach involves listening closely, validating feelings, and supporting clients as they explore goals and make decisions that fit their values - especially useful for relationship, grief, and identity-related work.
