Background and approach
Phobias are among the areas listed in his practice focus. In sessions he uses a collaborative, respectful tone. Conversations tend to focus on identifying patterns, testing small changes, and building clearer communication skills.
He draws on approaches such as client-centered work, cognitive behavioral techniques, solution-focused strategies, and trauma-focused methods to match the moment-to-moment needs of the person in front of him. Duane emphasizes skills that can be practiced between meetings. That might mean simple behavioral experiments, short homework exercises, or step-by-step plans for managing strong emotions.
He keeps plans concrete and achievable so people see progress without feeling overwhelmed. People meet with him by phone, video, live chat, or text-based messaging depending on what fits their schedule. He describes himself as nonjudgmental and goal-oriented, and he helps people find steady ways to manage symptoms and move forward in daily life.
How evidence-based approaches fit with online care
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening, empathy, and helping people find their own solutions; it can help with low self-esteem, relationship concerns, and processing difficult feelings. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, works on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors to reduce anxiety, depression, and many everyday problems. Trauma-Focused Therapy concentrates on steps to process trauma responses and build safer patterns in daily life.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk through goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before. Together they decide whether to emphasize practical CBT tools, a client-centered pace, trauma-focused work, or a mix tailored to the person's needs.
Online work uses video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video lets people work face to face without travel, phone can fit into a short break or when bandwidth is limited, live chat is useful for brief check-ins, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions. These options help people fit therapy into busy lives and keep progress moving forward.
