About Colleen

Colleen Duncan is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Oregon who brings 14 years of clinical experience to her work.

Background and approach

She focuses on concerns such as stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, depression, relationship and intimacy-related issues, grief, self-esteem, and ADHD, and also addresses related areas like body image, caregiving stress, codependency, and life purpose. Colleen draws on a variety of evidence-informed methods to match support to each person's needs.

Clients can expect a warm, supportive style grounded in collaboration and practical problem solving. Colleen combines client-centered principles with cognitive and behavioral strategies, acceptance-based methods, attachment-focused perspectives, and skills from dialectical approaches to help people build concrete goals and stepwise plans.

She emphasizes respect, empathy, and adaptability, tailoring sessions to the moment and drawing on multiple techniques when appropriate. Colleen frames therapy as a partnership aimed at moving forward from current challenges toward a more fulfilling life.

She encourages realistic goal setting and actionable steps while honoring each person’s strengths and unique circumstances.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Colleen frequently uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) in her online practice. ACT focuses on helping people notice thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them while identifying personal values to guide action, which can be useful for anxiety, stress, and motivation challenges. CBT works with identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and building practical skills to change behaviors and symptoms, often helping with depression, anxiety, and coping with life changes.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process and happens collaboratively. Colleen will explore a person's goals, preferences, and experiences and then adapt methods over time, combining techniques as needed so the plan fits the individual rather than the other way around.

Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, which can make it easier to fit appointments into busy schedules and to maintain continuity when life is changing. These formats support consistent work on goals, allow different communication styles, and make it possible to access licensed professionals from wherever someone is located within the applicable region.
