About Duane
Duane Drew is a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) in New Hampshire with 14 years of experience. He focuses on problems people commonly face at home and in relationships, including stress, anxiety, depression, addiction concerns, and family-related strains.
Duane helps people who are coping with life changes such as divorce or separation and with intimacy-related issues. He also addresses complex patterns like attachment difficulties, codependency, communication problems, and anger. He works directly with adults seeking clearer boundaries and steadier day-to-day functioning.
His approach mixes straightforward talk with practical techniques. Sessions often involve identifying unhelpful thoughts and trying small behavior changes to reduce symptoms of anxiety or low mood. He also uses brief goal-focused work when someone needs concrete steps to move forward faster.
When trauma or past abuse is part of the problem, Duane uses trauma-focused strategies to help people manage intense reactions and make sense of difficult memories. He pays attention to how early attachment and abandonment experiences can shape current relationships.
Duane describes sessions as calm and focused. He encourages regular check-ins on goals and adjusts plans when a client needs different tools. People who want to improve how they communicate, set limits, or handle parenting stress often find the sessions practical and direct.
How sessions work
How his approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting back what a person says. Online sessions using this approach help people feel understood and clarify what they want to change. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions and uses exercises to shift unhelpful patterns. Online CBT can include simple take-home exercises and brief skill practice between sessions.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work together. Duane will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and suggest which methods to try first. This is a collaborative process and the plan can be adjusted if something is not helping.
The biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm available options before booking. In general, online work can make it easier to fit therapy around parenting, work, or appointments because sessions can be scheduled without travel. Phone sessions may be quicker check-ins, while video sessions allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. These practical benefits help people keep therapy consistent alongside day-to-day obligations.
