Shelley Duncan, LCP - Therapist in Kansas

About Shelley

Shelley Duncan is a licensed counselor in Kansas with 15 years of clinical experience. She focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and relationship and family concerns. Shelley approaches each person with respect, sensitivity, and compassion.

She aims to make the first steps toward change feel manageable and supported. In sessions she listens for what matters most to each client and tailors the conversation to those needs. She uses straightforward tools to address thinking patterns and behaviors that contribute to worry and low mood.

Background and approach

Practical strategies may include identifying unhelpful thoughts, testing them, and trying small behavioral changes to build better routines. Shelley also helps people facing grief, trauma, intimacy challenges, career strain, and caregiver stress. She works with issues like communication problems, attachment or family of origin concerns, blended family dynamics, and codependency.

When abuse or domestic violence are part of a person’s story, she brings careful attention and steady support. Sessions often focus on measurable steps a person can try between meetings. Shelley combines listening with concrete skill-building so people can notice progress in day-to-day life.

She adjusts plans as clients report what helps and what doesn’t. Her practice includes phone and video conversations as well as text-based options. Shelley guides people through practical problem solving while keeping the conversation grounded and compassionate.

CBT and Online Support for Everyday Challenges

CBT, or Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, focuses on the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It helps people spot unhelpful thinking patterns and test new ways of reacting to stress, anxiety, and low mood. This approach often includes practical homework and small experiments to change daily habits.

Shelley uses these CBT techniques to address relationship tensions, family dynamics, grief, and caregiver stress. The work is collaborative - she listens to goals, explains options, and together they decide which techniques to try. The plan can change as progress is tracked and client needs evolve.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to fit different schedules and comfort levels. These formats make it easier to attend sessions from home, manage ongoing communication, and follow up between meetings. Many people find that flexible online sessions help them maintain consistency while balancing family, work, and other responsibilities.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.
