Jarhal Duncan, LISW, LCSW

Jarhal Duncan is a licensed clinical social worker and martial artist who guides people toward greater clarity, resilience, and purpose. With 15 years of clinical experience working with youth, adults, and families across diverse communities, he combines talk therapy with movement, mindfulness, and spiritual insight to design personalized paths for growth and emotional healing. He holds LISW (Licensed Independent Social Worker) and LCSW (Licensed Clinical Social Worker) credentials and brings a person-centered, evidence-informed orientation to care.

As a Black male therapist, Jarhal draws on a broad perspective to address stress, anxiety, depression, relationship concerns, self-esteem, and coping with life changes. He also works with communication and family problems, fatherhood issues, infidelity, life purpose, men’s issues, self-love, and challenges facing young adults. His work emphasizes practical tools as well as deeper self-awareness so clients can manage current struggles and build long-term well-being.

His style is warm, conversational, and collaborative. In the first session he focuses on understanding a person’s story, values, and goals, then outlines a clear process for moving forward. Clients leave the initial meeting with a clearer sense of direction, some immediate strategies to try, and a plan for ongoing work toward their priorities.

Integrating Mindfulness and Movement in Remote Care

Jarhal Duncan blends person-centered work with movement-informed methods and mindfulness practice. Person-centered therapy focuses on listening closely to a person’s story and building treatment around their values and goals - it helps when someone needs empathy, perspective, and practical direction. Movement-informed approaches bring physical activity and body awareness into the therapeutic process, useful for people who respond well to somatic strategies and steadying routines. Mindfulness practice teaches simple attention and breathing skills that can reduce reactivity and support emotional regulation across stress, anxiety, and life transitions.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Jarhal works with each person to explore which techniques fit their needs, goals, and preferences, and he adjusts the plan as progress unfolds. He partners with clients to build tools that feel useful in daily life and aligned with their sense of purpose.

Online therapy offers flexibility to connect by video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging, so people can access licensed professionals from home or on the go. These options make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, maintain continuity during life changes, and experiment with approaches in real time while receiving professional guidance.
