About Duane
Duane Drew is a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) in New Hampshire with 14 years of experience. He focuses on stress, anxiety, depression, relationship concerns, trauma and abuse, and life transitions. Duane also lists social anxiety among his areas of focus and works with intimacy-related issues and self-esteem struggles.
He uses clear, practical conversations to help people manage upsetting thoughts and reactions. Sessions mix listening with concrete techniques from cognitive behavioral therapy and solution-focused approaches. Trauma-focused work is used when past events are getting in the way of daily life.
Duane pays attention to patterns that keep people stuck, such as codependency, attachment problems, or avoidance. He helps people spot those patterns, try different behaviors, and notice what changes. That can include practicing new ways to speak up, set boundaries, or cope with stress.
People who come for help with relationship or intimacy concerns get direct work on communication and commitment issues. Those struggling with substance use or anger get pragmatic steps to reduce harm and improve daily functioning. Duane also addresses less-mentioned areas like kink and alternative sex culture with straightforward discussion.
Sessions are aimed at recognizing realistic next steps and building skills for everyday life. The focus is on what can be done between appointments as much as what happens in them. To begin, readers should follow the site's process to review options and schedule a first session.
How Duane uses therapeutic approaches online
Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and letting the person set the pace. The therapist reflects back concerns and priorities so the person feels heard and decisions come from their preferences. It helps with motivation and making sense of difficult feelings.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. It uses specific exercises and practice between sessions to reduce anxiety, manage panic, or address avoidance in social situations. CBT is practical for stress, social anxiety, and mood concerns.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Duane will talk with the person about goals and try methods that fit their needs and preferences. He checks in about what helps and adjusts plans together so the work feels useful and doable.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current online options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counseling into a busy day, allow a shorter check-in when needed, or enable not using video if that feels better. Licensed professionals can use these adjustments to focus on skill practice, planning next steps, and tracking progress without asking for a full in-person visit.
