Duncan Hall, LCSW

Duncan Hall is an LCSW - Licensed Clinical Social Worker practicing in Illinois with 28 years of experience. He works with adults on stress, anxiety, relationships, anger, self-esteem, addictions, grief, parenting and career concerns. He also lists blended family issues among his focus areas and often addresses intimacy-related concerns and communication problems.

Duncan takes a straightforward, person-focused style. Sessions typically start by mapping the immediate problem and what the client wants to change. He uses clear, practical steps to help people manage symptoms and make decisions about relationships, work, or parenting demands.

He draws on Client-Centered Therapy to listen and reflect what matters to each person. He pairs that with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to break down unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. Motivational Interviewing and Solution-Focused techniques are used when people want short-term momentum or help making a change.

Common topics he addresses include co-parenting tensions, loyalty conflicts in stephouseholds, divorce or separation stress, and adjusting to new parenting roles. He also works with issues such as ADHD, impulsivity, anger, and substance-related problems when these affect daily functioning and relationships.

Sessions aim for clear steps clients can try between meetings. Duncan helps people develop coping skills, improve communication, and set achievable goals. Prospective clients should confirm current session options and scheduling details when they begin the onboarding process.
