About Buddy
Buddy Duncan is a Licensed Professional Counselor with two decades of experience helping people through stressful and painful times. He focuses on practical steps that can reduce overwhelming feelings and restore a sense of control. People who come to him are often dealing with anger, grief, anxiety, depression, addiction, or major life changes.
He uses straightforward talk therapy and goal-focused tools to help people manage symptoms and make choices that fit their lives.
Background and approach
Early in his career he worked with people facing addiction and later supported those with severe medical problems and chronic pain. Over the last decade he has concentrated on grief and loss issues. Buddy also spent years teaching psychology at the college level and advising students, which shaped his clear, patient style.
He describes his practice as client-centered and relies on cognitive behavioral methods when useful. Sessions aim to identify thinking and behavior patterns and then try practical alternatives. In appointments clients can expect a calm, nonjudgmental setting where the therapist listens and offers concrete strategies.
He often helps people build coping skills for anger, improve sleep and eating routines, and manage stress related to work or family concerns. Conversations move at a practical pace to match each person's goals. Buddy is based in Texas and holds the LPC credential, Licensed Professional Counselor.
He offers several ways to connect, including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text messaging. Sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time.

Approaches Buddy lists
Listing an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each therapist names and does not check training records.
How his approaches translate to online therapy
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening closely and responding to each person without judgement. This approach helps people feel heard and respected while they sort through emotions like anger, grief, or anxiety.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going and then practices small changes. It is useful for managing anger, improving sleep and eating habits, and reducing anxiety by testing new ways of thinking and acting.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist works with each person to pick methods that match their goals and preferences, and adjustments are made as progress is tracked. That way sessions stay focused and relevant to what the person wants to change.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy easier to fit into busy lives. Video is good for deeper conversations and exercises that need visual cues. Phone can be a simpler check-in when bandwidth is limited. Chat or text works well for brief updates, coaching-style exchanges, or when writing helps clarify thoughts. These options let people keep momentum between sessions and choose the format that best supports their daily routine.
