About Thomas
Thomas Duncan is a licensed clinical social worker who focuses on practical help for people facing stress, anxiety, depression, and life changes. He aims to teach skills that can be used quickly so people can feel better without committing to long-term therapy. Thomas keeps sessions straightforward and goal-oriented.
He typically works by helping clients learn tools they can use between sessions. That can mean trying new ways of thinking, practicing small behavior changes, or building daily routines.
How Thomas works
He encourages people to set clear goals and to measure progress along the way. Thomas uses approaches that emphasize both values and problem-solving. He draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people clarify what matters and take action toward it.
He also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thinking patterns and replace them with workable alternatives. With 14 years of experience, Thomas brings practical experience to common challenges like addictions, trauma, grief, and parenting stress. He also focuses on relationship strain, career concerns, and feelings of emptiness or guilt.
His style is direct and economical - aiming to give useful skills rather than extend care indefinitely. Sessions are offered to people in Washington and are conducted in English. Thomas offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging.
He works with a subscription model that can be canceled at any time, and scheduling follows the platform's matching and booking steps.

Online support options
How ACT and CBT work online with flexible session options
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people figure out what matters most to them and take small steps toward those values. It focuses on accepting difficult feelings while committing to meaningful actions, which can help with depression, anxiety, and feelings of emptiness. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts affect feelings and behavior. It teaches practical techniques to change unhelpful thinking and build different habits, which is useful for anxiety, stress, addiction triggers, and managing anger. Choosing the best approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn't worked in the past. Together they will try approaches that fit the person's needs and adjust the plan over time. Online formats make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life. Video calls are helpful for in-depth conversations and exercises that benefit from seeing each other. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or a quieter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging are useful for short updates, coaching between sessions, or when someone prefers writing to speaking. These options provide flexibility so people can access therapy in ways that match their schedules and comfort.Start online instead of waiting
