Background and approach
Veterans and those affected by disaster-related stress are among the people he has worked with. His style is warm, supportive, and interactive. Sessions blend practical techniques with conversation about real-life challenges.
Dwayne uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thinking and change behavior patterns that keep problems going. For trauma and PTSD he uses trauma-focused work, including Cognitive Processing Therapy, to help people make sense of what happened and reduce the hold those memories have.
He also employs motivational interviewing and solution-focused strategies to set clear goals and build steps that fit a person's life. Dwayne aims to empower people to take back control of areas that feel overwhelming. He offers video, phone, chat, and text formats so therapy can fit different schedules and needs.
Sessions are provided in English and are offered from his Texas practice. To begin, a prospective client completes a short matching questionnaire and schedules a time that works with the therapist's availability. The subscription used for sessions can be canceled at any time.
