Marie is probably one of my top 10 favorite people. I worked with her for about six months and then took a break and when I was going through a rough patch I scheduled with her again and It was like talking to my old friend / mentor. Her skill and listening abilities are unmatched. She bolstered my confidence with her listen and figure-it-out mentality. I just love her to pieces!
More about Marie
- 25 years' experience

- LMFT
Life is full of challenging experiences … and people! We all need an encouraging mentor to listen and guide us toward our goals. Family and friends may mean well, but unfortunately they usually have their own agenda, criticize without understanding, and offer advice that is best for them- not you. I bet this is happening to you right now. This is just a natural way with untrained people. Let me empower you!
Let’s get you on track to where you want to go. We’ll have fun and maybe share some tears along the way.
Managing your stress, anxiety, and depression is our goal. You may be in a difficult or strained relationship that leaves you drained and even sucks the life out of you. No wonder you are tired!
Just like the hundreds of other clients I have helped to return joy to their lives, I offer 25 years of professional experience.
You can do this! Start right now and sign up for your session with me. We’ll even laugh a little! You need this and don’t want to be stuck in this place, do you? Let’s talk now!

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.

Marie is an excellent advocate and cheerleader for me and what I need! She listens well and really hears what I am saying. She is a wonderful resource to have to focus on my mental health.
I love working with Marie! She is knowledgable, friendly and super helpful! Highly recommend!
Marie has been a tremendous help to me over my time in counseling. We have addressed a variety of challenges and she offers no nonsense feedback and encouragement. I highly recommend her!
I have had three phone sessions with Marie so far and every time we speak I get off the call feeling better and I have steps to take to achieve my therapy goals. Marie is always high energy and I can hear her smiling through the phone. She is also very empathetic and encouraging.
Marie is amazing. After only 2 sessions I'm already headed in the right direction.
Marie is wonderful!!!
Ms. Marie uplifts me and helps me feel better each time we talk.
Mrs. Marie has been a blessing. I couldn’t have been paired with a better therapist. The people at better help sure did listen to my needs. She is very sweet. I like that her approach is real she doesn’t sure coat things but delivers in the most respectful way. I can tell that she is doing what she loves and not just here because she has to be.
Relates advice to biblical values. Amazingly encouraging!
Marie is an amazing person. I’ve been to several therapists over the years and I have to say she’s by far the best in her field. She listens but, also is great at giving helpful advice.
With this being my first foray into therapy, I must say that I could not have asked for a better therapist. Marie is sensitive to my needs and helps accordingly. I love that she helps me navigate different situations and will pray with me at the end of a session if she feels I need it. I'm extremely pleased.
I can tell that Marie is a genuinely caring person. She is fully engaged in my conversation and truly shows that she cares and listens to me. She has already given me great advice and tools on ways to cope and handle my current stressor. I know she is going to be perfect for me and is going to help me get through a troubling time of my life.
Marie has been amazing and has helped me through some difficult times. She is always there to listen and help me think through my situation without judgement. She has been a blessing and I'm so thankful that I have her to talk to when I need it most.
Marie has helped me during a very stressful time in my life and I am thankful for her support.
Mari is great to speak with, a wonderful person to help with perspective, realization, encouragement. She has helped me incredibly through a very hard time. I’m thankful she was paired with me. She’s an incredible therapist.
Very good listener and has a good insight of the situation
Pleasure
Marie is so in tune with her training that she affords me not only opportunities to identify the topics I would like to address, but she celebrates my wins when we catch up. She holds me accountable on my progress. She’s so fantastic!
So thoughtful and listens really well. I would recommend to anyone!
Marie s a very knowledgeable, kind, funny and joyful therapist. She has encouraged me when I have needed it, yet hasn’t been afraid to challenge me too. We have walked through a lot together. She is a great counselor!
When I first signed up for I didn't know what to expect but I knew what I wanted and needed. I am so thankful for Marie Duncan. She is absolutely amazing. She listens to my concern and she hears me. At the end of the each session she recaps my goals and expectations. I am so glad she is my therapist. When she prayed before closing our first session I knew I had the right person. ❤️
I’d been battling to get into therapy for years. Went through college counseling; didn’t take, then a year+ later got into BetterHelp. My first therapist on here was a great dude, but I just wasn’t getting what I needed still and I wasn’t even sure what that was. But, then I got paired with Marie and she has helped me so much and instilled faith in therapy and trusting the process. She is a queen and I would protect her at all costs.
She has been very kind and supportive
Amazing woman who's compassionate, encouraging and uplifting and, not judge mental. I’m so happy to have her as my therapist ,
Marie is amazing! She is one of the best therapist I’ve ever had.
Marie is AWESOME. After each session, I feel very confident and determine to keep being a better person.
Marie Duncan is an incredible therapist. She’s provided me with the tools to find my way when I initially felt lost.
Ms Marie is sweet, intuitive, and a wonderful listener. I have felt so safe with her as my therapist. We tackled the biggest issues first through EMDR and now we do talk therapy as situations arise. She reaches out to me and that ensures me that I have a true confidant and support in my corner! She helps me find solutions to the stress and conflicts in my life. I am so thankful for her!
Marie has a way about her that is so calming. She takes my thoughts and helps me break them down and work them. After each session I feel lighter and more calm.
Excellent
The greatest attribute of Marie is she LISTENS and is always respectful of my feelings. She offers professional advise and keeps me accountable. She is patient and kind at the same time! I feel I am progressing in my therapy and appreciate her follow through. She is the best!
Marie has helped me to manage some challenges that are going on in my life. She helps me to clearly think through my challenges and provides me support in determining steps I can take to work through them to get the outcome I seek. It's great to have someone who can provide an unbaised opinion to validate and/or challenge my feelings and help me work through what would be best for me. I look forward to and enjoy my sessions with Marie and appreciate her honest counseling.
I feel a connection with Marie and feel like she gives me empathy and feels strongly on my behalf
Marie Duncan has a deep handle on how to counsel people through their difficulties to a better place because of her empathy and extensive experience. She listens until she arrives at that place where she is confident of the direction of counseling path she is taking.
Ms. Duncan is the best. Very strong Christian
Supportive, great suggestions, and Christian based gentle nudges
Marie is one of the best therapists I have experienced. Her experience and faith provide balanced wisdom and guidance for a wide range of issues. She isn’t afraid to lovingly point out errors in judgment on my behalf when I recount situations. I came to Marie burdened by deep grief I had buried under non-stop work and marital stress. Mentally, I had reached maximum overload. She helped me unpack the burdens one at a time, stopping to ask insightful questions and help me gain perspective on my poor work habits, the issues I wasn’t dealing with in my marriage and finding the joy in the memories of the loved ones I recently lost. She is a true God-send.
Marie is wonderful! She listens, checks in on you, suggests different things, and when you feel stuck, she asks questions to help draw you back out. I like her approach very much.
How would I review Marie specifically to me.... she's the mom I never had, the grandmother I never had, the best friend I never had. She builds me up and helps my walls come down. I smile every time I see her. She is someone that I would want in my life every day but I can't afford that. I look forward to seeing her every week. We need more Marie's in the world!
Marie is phenomenal. She is very experienced and makes sure I am comfortable. She is very easy to share with.
Marie Duncan is so caring and really sees me as a person. I have made so much progress just in the few weeks I’ve been seeing her. I highly recommend her; she helps me establish specific goals that have helped me in my healing journey.
Marie listens intently. She takes notes about what I tell her, and brings positivity and a sense of ease to our talks. When Marie reflects back to me what I say, I feel grateful because I know that I am understood and safe to be vulnerable/open.
We haven't been talking long, but I like her. She has a great sense of humor. She does pretty well of pulling me out of my own bubble. First listening to me, waiting, and then coming back with positivity that I KNOW is there with myself. I've lived in self wallowing and self hatred for so long, I feel I don't deserve any good from the world. I feel like I NEED that constant reminder that things are going to be ok. And with my mama gone, I haven't had that lately. I can work through my thoughts in a safe and comforting way, and that's DETRIMENTAL to heal. So, thank you Marie. Thank you for what you do and how you do it. You're a big help. I'm looking forward to our journey together as we help me be a better me.
Marie is so kind, supportive, and empathetic. She gives the best advice, ideas for growth, and listens wholeheartedly. She is genuinely the best therapist I have ever seen. Her work really helps. I feel so lucky to have been matched with Marie!
Marie listens to my concerns and breaks them down for us to work through. I have a new understanding of some issues I have thanks to her and am now able to work through them.
Marie is a great listener. She is supportive, caring and empathetic. I enjoy talking to her.
Marie is a great listener. Very attentive and calculated in her responses. Very pleased with her guidance.
I was unsure of therapy at first. It has been a wonderful experience so far, Marie is amazing and listens to all of my concerns. She has been very helpful and I look forward to continuing working with her.
Going into therapy was really hard for me but Marie has been so helpful and supportive from the very beginning. She is a great listener and has helped me so much in this growing process in my life with her positive words of affirmation and honest feedback. I’m very grateful she is my therapist.
I've been speaking with Marie for a few weeks now and it's been such a relief to have someone to talk to. She's so understanding and giving me the best guidance. I'm so thankful I've found someone I can turn to.
