Background and approach
Conversation is down-to-earth and goal-oriented, with attention to how daily routines, communication, and choices affect feelings. Durward believes clients are the experts in their own lives and partners with them to identify what matters most. He offers steady support while people try new ways of coping.
The pace matches each person’s comfort and readiness to change. His practice includes work on aging and geriatric concerns, blended family challenges, and issues that follow illness such as cancer. He also addresses problems like commitment worries, infidelity, impulsivity, loneliness, and forgiveness.
Each plan is shaped around the person sitting across from him. Durward is licensed in Louisiana as an LPC. He provides sessions in English and accepts international clients.
His approach is practical and respectful, aimed at helping people regain balance and move toward clearer next steps.
Evidence-based approaches and online care
Durward uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on real-world change. One common approach involves identifying patterns of thinking and behavior that increase stress and anxiety, then testing small, practical shifts to change those patterns. This helps people notice what works and what doesn’t in daily life.Another key technique emphasizes communication skills and problem-solving for relationship and family concerns. Sessions often include practicing clear ways to express needs and set boundaries, which can reduce repeated conflict and improve connection.
Deciding on the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, try different methods when needed, and adjust plans based on what feels most helpful. The aim is to find strategies the person can use between sessions.
Online therapy offers several practical benefits. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when a visual connection helps. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or a camera is not preferred. Live chat and text-based messaging can provide brief check-ins, quick skill reminders, or support between longer sessions. These options make it easier to fit care into a busy life and to keep progress moving forward.
