Buddy Duncan, LPC

Buddy Duncan is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with more than 20 years of clinical experience helping people navigate crisis, transition, and long-term challenges. He has worked extensively with individuals facing addiction, severe medical conditions, and chronic pain, and he has provided marriage counseling while specializing in grief and loss over the past decade.

In addition to his clinical work, he taught psychology at the college level and served as an academic advisor to students, bringing a blend of practical counseling experience and academic perspective to his practice. He consistently uses cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) alongside client-centered approaches, emphasizing the role of personal choice and decision making in creating meaningful change.

His practice supports people dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and family difficulties, trauma and abuse, intimacy concerns, eating and sleeping problems, parenting and fatherhood issues, addiction, and compassion fatigue, among other challenges. He also addresses chronic pain, illness, disability, workplace matters, and end-of-life or hospice-related concerns.

Throughout his career he has seen many people work through complex problems and move forward by exploring options and building coping strategies in a non-judgmental environment. As an LPC - a state-licensed mental health professional - he brings a steady, experience-based approach to helping clients identify practical steps toward their goals.
