About Ann-Marie Duncan

As a licensed therapist in North Carolina, I bring nearly three decades of compassionate clinical experience to supporting individuals through life’s complex challenges. My practice centers on creating affirming, inclusive spaces for exploring personal growth, particularly for LGBTQ+ individuals, those navigating relationship dynamics, and people experiencing mood-related difficulties.

My therapeutic approach is deeply rooted in understanding each person’s unique journey. I specialize in addressing depression, anxiety, addiction recovery, sexuality, exploration, and personal empowerment. With expertise in supporting diverse relationship structures and identities, I help clients develop self-love, clarify life purpose, and heal from family dynamics.

I’m committed to providing a non-judgmental, progressive environment where individuals can authentically explore their emotional landscape, build resilience, and create meaningful personal transformation. Whether you’re working through life challenges, relationship patterns, or seeking deeper self-understanding, I’m dedicated to walking alongside you with empathy and professional insight.

“Ann-Marie is the supportive yet direct person everyone wants in their lives, while she is compassionate and empathetic she is also very validating but allows for a reality check of sorts. I would highly recommend her to anyone needing support and wanting to really change their lives!”

“Ann-Marie is the best therapist I’ve ever had. It’s hard to explain that sufficiently. I’m more healed than I ever thought I could be - and we’re still going strong!”

“She is great. Very laid back and easy to talk to”

“Ann-Marie is one of those rare gems who combines decades of expertise and continuous learning with good humor, deep wisdom, and heartfelt compassion. She balances perfectly between no-nonsense reality and boundless mercy. Her spiritual maturity and integration make her an invaluable resource in my journey to wholeness. If you’re looking for a therapist who navigates the gray and complex areas of life with nuance and grace, you can’t go wrong with Ann-Marie.”

“Very patient with my weird schedule, and caring.”

“Ann-Marie always shares her experience in ways that make it relatable even when it seems like you can find similarities between vastly different fields. She listens, and is honest, she's offered a lot of helpful suggestions for different challenges I've been dealing with, and in the time we've been working together I feel like I've had a better grasp on things. She's kind, and super supportive as well!”

“Constant contact”

“Ann-Marie is very in tune to my needs and has great ideas for growth exercises. She is able to help me stay focused when I have had issues with concentration.”

“Ann-Marie Duncan is the best therapist I’ve ever had, far and away. I’ve made progress I didn’t know was possible, and I’m still going! I’m honestly amazed. I’ve had lots of not great therapy in my life; I didn’t know support that’s such a good, healthy, dynamic fit was possible.”

“She is just amazing. So patient and kind. She drew me out of my shell again (slowly but surely) and is helping me feel less alone. Very knowledgeable with tons of resources and helpful suggestions, much more than the last person I worked with here. Thank you Ann-Marie”

“Very helpful!”

“She’s pretty cool an listens to me.”

“I actually have already recommended Ann-Marie to several friends of mine already! Working with her, I have made progress I couldn’t have imagined before. I’m growing and healing, and Ann-Marie’s support and insight have made that possible. She’s guided me to the path to recovering, and is helping me along my way. Best therapist I’ve ever had, and I’ve had a few over the years. This is far and away the best therapy experience I’ve ever had. I wish everyone had someone like Ann-Marie in their corner!”

“Ann-Marie is an incredible therapist to work with and I have really enjoyed talking with her. She's empathetic, insightful, and always knows how to ask just the right questions. I have grown so much with her as my therapist.”

“I have only worked with Ann-Marie for a brief period of time thus far but I am thoroughly satisfied with my experience and have already recommended her and BetterHelp to my friends, family, peers, and colleagues. She is relatable, down-to-earth, and cares for her patients and their goals.”
