Kathy Duncan, LCSW

Kathy Duncan is a Tennessee-based licensed clinical social worker with 30 years of experience in the mental health field, including more than 25 years practicing as a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW). She provides care for a wide range of concerns, including stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, anger, low self-esteem, depression, addictions, relationship and family issues, grief, sleep difficulties, bipolar disorder, ADHD, and challenges related to life changes.

Her work also addresses related areas such as abandonment, communication problems, divorce and separation, domestic violence, drug and alcohol addiction, family conflict, forgiveness, guilt and shame, intellectual disability, isolation and loneliness, mood and panic disorders, paranoia, personality disorders, and post-traumatic stress. Over the course of her career she has supported individuals and couples navigating difficult circumstances, unexpected transitions, and both past and current trauma, helping clients learn practical strategies to manage often life-altering situations.

Kathy draws on a blend of clinical approaches, integrating attachment-based therapy, client-centered techniques, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), psychodynamic perspectives, and solution-focused strategies. She emphasizes the connection between thoughts and functioning and approaches each session with an open mind and a nonjudgmental stance. Former clients have described her as warm, empathetic, compassionate, and affable, and she believes a strong therapeutic rapport is fundamental to effective treatment.

Kathy welcomes new clients in Tennessee and offers flexible options for connecting and working through concerns. She aims to create a supportive environment where people can address immediate difficulties and build skills for long-term coping and growth.
