Background and approach
Sessions tend to be conversational and goal-oriented while staying respectful of each person's pace. His work draws on approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to address unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, and Trauma-Focused Therapy to support recovery after upsetting events. Solution-Focused Therapy is used when clients want faster, concrete changes and clearer steps toward goals.
These methods are chosen to match what the client needs in the moment. Duane has experience with many related concerns including attachment and abandonment issues, codependency, communication and commitment problems, dissociation, and difficulties tied to intimacy or alternative sexual cultures. He also supports people facing divorce, domestic violence impacts, and disruptive mood patterns.

How Duane’s Approaches Work Online
Duane commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Trauma-Focused Therapy in online work. CBT focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which helps with anxiety, depression, and stress by teaching concrete skills to manage symptoms. Trauma-Focused Therapy centers on processing and coping with past hurt and overwhelming events, with techniques that help reduce triggers and rebuild safety in everyday life.Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Duane takes a collaborative stance and will help figure out which methods fit a person’s goals and preferences. Together the client and therapist review what’s working and adjust the plan as needed.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging so people can pick what fits their schedule and needs. Video is useful for a full-session conversation, phone works well when lower bandwidth or hands-free time is needed, live chat and text messaging suit brief check-ins or ongoing support between sessions. These options make it easier to fit regular therapy into busy lives.
