About Alexander
Alexander Duncan is a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) in Idaho with six years of experience. He works with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, anger, and depression. He also focuses on communication problems, feelings of emptiness, family concerns, first responder issues, life purpose, and post-traumatic stress.
He uses a direct, practical style in sessions. He outlines clear goals and checks progress regularly. Conversations focus on recognizing unhelpful thoughts and testing new ways of coping. He encourages accountability and concrete steps between meetings.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) informs much of his work. That means identifying thinking and behavior patterns that keep problems going and trying different responses to shift outcomes. He also draws on existential perspectives to talk about meaning, values, and choices when those topics come up.
Solution-Focused and Trauma-Focused approaches are used when they fit the concern. Solution-Focused work highlights small changes that add up. Trauma-Focused work looks at the specific impact of traumatic events and practical ways to reduce their hold on daily life.
Sessions tend to be straightforward and goal-oriented. He helps clients set measurable steps and tracks whether those steps are working. For people who want direct feedback and clear next steps, his style is focused on action and measurable change.
How his approaches translate to online sessions
Alexander uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients pinpoint and test unhelpful thoughts and habits. CBT focuses on concrete skills such as tracking thoughts, trying small behavioral experiments, and rehearsing different responses to reduce anxiety and depression symptoms. Existential Therapy is used to examine meaning, values, and life choices when those questions are central; it helps people clarify what matters and make decisions that align with those values.Finding the right approach is part of the work. He will collaborate with each client to decide which methods to prioritize based on current concerns, goals, and preferences. That discussion may shift as problems change or progress is made, and he checks in regularly to adjust the plan.
Confirm the available session options before booking since formats are not specified in the biography. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedule constraints exist. They can also let clients use quieter surroundings or avoid being on camera if that helps them engage. Talk with him at the first appointment about what will work best for scheduling, session length, and how to structure follow-up between meetings.
