About Jarhal
Jarhal Duncan is a licensed clinical social worker with 15 years of experience. He holds the LISW and LCSW credentials and practices in Texas. He focuses on stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, self-esteem, depression, and coping with life changes, and also addresses communication problems, fatherhood issues, infidelity, and life purpose.
Duncan takes a direct, practical approach that mixes talk with movement and mindfulness. He listens to a person's story, identifies patterns that get in the way, and offers straightforward tools to change them. Sessions aim to increase self-awareness and build habits that reduce distress over time.
He frames work as collaborative problem-solving rather than abstract theory. Conversations look at values, daily routines, and relationships to find changes that fit a person's life. When movement or mindfulness is useful, he brings those elements into sessions to deepen emotional work and strengthen coping skills.
Clients can expect a conversational first meeting focused on what brought them in and what they hope to do differently. He outlines how he works and suggests a few practical strategies to try right away. That first session is used to set goals and plan next steps together.
His background includes working with youth, adults, and families across diverse communities. He describes his style as person-centered and collaborative, aiming to help people find clearer direction and steadier day-to-day habits as they face changes and decisions.
Therapeutic approaches used in online work
Two evidence-based approaches that inform his work are person-centered methods and mindfulness-based practices. Person-centered work focuses on listening closely to your story, identifying goals, and shaping sessions around what matters to you. Mindfulness-based practices teach attention and breathing skills that help reduce reactivity and ease anxiety in daily life.He also integrates movement-based techniques as an adjunct to conversation. Movement can help people access bodily awareness, manage stress, and translate insights from talk into physical routines that support emotional regulation.
Deciding which approach fits best is part of the early sessions. He will work with you to identify goals, try techniques, and adjust methods based on what helps you make steady progress. That collaborative selection helps align therapy with your preferences and life demands.
Confirm current session options before booking, as the profile does not specify formats. Online work can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, reduce commute time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. Phone or video each have practical differences - for example, phone calls can be used for brief check-ins and require less bandwidth, while video lets you use visual cues during conversation. Ask about formats when you complete the matching questionnaire so sessions match your day-to-day needs.
