I plead guilty under duress in Ohio for a crime I was not guilty of (I know I know) anyway I've moved back to Kansas and have gotten treatment for a mental illness I was suffering from at the time and now realize the impact of that decision in my life. Anyway to get that expunged or sealed under extenuating circumstances under Ohio, Kansas or Federal law?

Since the conviction was in Ohio, that states laws are the only that apply to possible expungement.

You don't say what the conviction was for, but a conviction for ANY of the following cannot be expunged in Ohio:
- rape (ORC §2907.02)
- sexual battery (ORC §2907.03)
- corrupting a minor (ORC §2907.04)
- gross sexual imposition (ORC §2907.05)
- sexual imposition (ORC §2907.06)
- obscenity involving a minor (ORC §2907.321)
- pornography involving a minor (ORC §2907.322)
- illegal use of a minor in pornography (ORC §2907.323)
- all driver’s license violations (ORC Chapter 4507)
- motor vehicle violations (ORC Chapter 4511)
- bail forfeitures in traffic cases (Traffic Rule 2)
- misdemeanors of first degree or felonies where victim is under the age of 18
- felonies of the first or second degree
- offenses of violence that are misdemeanors of first degree or felonies (except the following offenses of violence can be expunged: convictions for riot (2917.03) and misdemeanor convictions for assault (2903.13), inciting to violence (2917.01), and inducing panic (2917.31))

And yes, there are other requirements that you would have to meet to qualify.

What EXACTLY were you convicted of??
