About Duane

He helps people cope with stress, anxiety, depression, addictions, anger, intimacy concerns, and big life changes. Duane works to make therapy straightforward and focused on practical steps that fit everyday life.
Duane uses clear, direct conversations to identify what matters most to each person. He draws on client-centered work to build a respectful relationship and on cognitive behavioral techniques to spot unhelpful thoughts and habits.
How Duane works
Solution-focused methods are used to set small, achievable goals and track real progress. When trauma or abuse is part of the picture, Duane uses trauma-focused approaches to work carefully through painful memories and the patterns that follow. He pays attention to how attachment, abandonment, and relationship patterns show up in daily life.
Sessions emphasize safety, pacing, and skills people can use between meetings. Duane also supports people dealing with communication problems, codependency, commitment worries, and sexual concerns including kink and alternative sexual culture. He helps clients break down complex problems into manageable steps and practice better ways of relating.
Sessions are practical and collaborative. Duane explains ideas plainly and helps clients try techniques that fit their routines. Over time, the aim is clearer thinking, calmer reactions, and stronger ability to handle life's ups and downs.

Online support options
Approaches that translate well to online care
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on building a respectful, nonjudgmental relationship and helping people feel heard. It relies on active listening and tailoring conversations to each person's needs, which works well over video or phone. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns. CBT is easy to do online because it uses concrete exercises and homework that people can practice between sessions.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. That decision can change over time as issues evolve and new skills are needed.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for face-to-face conversation and working through exercises together. Phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth is limited or for a shorter check-in. Live chat and messaging allow ongoing support and brief check-ins between sessions. These options make therapy more flexible and easier to fit into busy schedules.
