Colleen Duncan, LPC - Therapist in Oregon

About Colleen

Colleen Duncan is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Oregon who helps people facing anxiety, depression, addiction, grief, and life changes. She offers direct, practical support for worries about relationships, parenting stress, self-esteem, eating and body image, and struggles with attention and overwhelm.

Her tone is warm and collaborative, and she focuses on clear goals and small steps clients can use between sessions. With 14 years of experience Colleen draws on several therapeutic approaches to match what an individual needs.

Background and approach

She uses Attachment-Based Therapy to look at how early connections affect current relationships and emotional responses. She also applies Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), cognitive behavioral strategies, and client-centered methods to help people notice thoughts, try new behaviors, and build a life aligned with their values. Sessions are adapted to each person's situation.

Colleen blends problem-solving with skills practice and supportive reflection. She will help set concrete, achievable goals and check progress over time. People come to her for help after trauma or abuse, for parenting strain, for compassion fatigue, or when facing big life transitions.

She also works with concerns like codependency, communication problems, divorce and separation, immigration stress, and feelings of isolation. Conversations are straightforward and paced to what feels manageable. Colleen aims to create a respectful space where clients can understand patterns, try new ways of coping, and build steadier emotional responses.

Online support

How therapeutic approaches translate to online care

Colleen commonly uses Attachment-Based Therapy to look at how early relationships shape current patterns. This approach helps people understand connection needs and work on more supported ways of relating. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) is also part of her practice and focuses on noticing thoughts, choosing values, and taking small committed actions that matter to the person.

Finding the right approach is a shared process. Colleen works with each person to see which methods fit their goals and preferences, and she adjusts strategies as progress is made. Together they set clear, practical steps and review what’s working between sessions.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility. Video is useful for full conversations and visual feedback. Phone sessions can work when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging allow brief updates, coaching moments, or ongoing support between longer sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and keep momentum on personal goals.
