About Ann-Marie

Ann-Marie Duncan is an LCMHC practicing in North Carolina with 28 years of clinical experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, addiction, depression, ADHD, grief, compassion fatigue, relationship and intimacy difficulties, and a wide range of life transitions.

Background and approach

She creates an affirming space for exploring sexuality and gender identity and offers focused support for those navigating polyamory and non-traditional relationship structures, as well as clients processing family-of-origin wounds and parenting concerns. Her work emphasizes each person's strengths and preferences, blending client-centered listening with practical strategies drawn from mindfulness practices, solution-focused planning, and motivational interviewing.

This combination supports emotional regulation, goal setting, relapse prevention, and building self-esteem while honoring individual values and life purpose. Ann-Marie often integrates coaching elements to help clients translate insight into day-to-day change.

Known for a nonjudgmental, progressive stance, she aims to help people develop resilience, deepen self-love, and move toward clearer priorities and healthier patterns. Prospective clients can expect an experienced clinician who pairs empathetic understanding with actionable steps toward recovery and personal growth.

Approaches That Guide Online Work



Client-centered therapy focuses on respectful, non-directive listening and creating space for clients to explore their own goals and values. This approach helps people clarify priorities, strengthen self-understanding, and build confidence in making changes. Mindfulness therapy encourages present-moment awareness and simple practices to reduce reactivity and improve emotional regulation, which can be useful for anxiety, stress, and mood management.

Finding the right approach is treated as a collaborative process. The therapist will listen to each person's needs and preferences, suggest techniques from different approaches, and adjust the plan together so methods fit the client's goals and circumstances rather than imposing any single model.

Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility for busy schedules and varying comfort levels. These options allow clients to access ongoing support without geographic constraints, maintain continuity during life transitions, and choose the format that best supports their engagement and progress.
