Duane Drew

Duane Drew is a licensed clinical mental health counselor (LCMHC) in New Hampshire who helps people tackle stress, anxiety, anger, addictions, and low self-esteem. He speaks plainly and concentrates on practical steps that make daily life feel more manageable. Duane has 14 years of experience guiding people through depression, relationship strain, and major life changes.

He uses a mix of approaches tailored to each person, aiming to strengthen communication and build clearer coping tools. Sessions focus on understanding patterns, practicing new skills, and setting small, achievable goals. Duane pays attention to how past hurts and trauma can shape current responses, and he works with clients to reduce their impact.

His work covers a broad range of concerns including intimacy-related issues, family stress, trauma and abuse, and difficulties with commitment or control. Additional areas he addresses include attachment struggles, dissociation, codependency, and challenges tied to alternative sexual cultures such as BDSM and kink. He also supports people coping with divorce, domestic violence, and complex mood or personality-related presentations.

Duane blends client-centered listening with cognitive behavioral tools and solution-focused strategies to create plans that fit everyday life. He encourages gradual changes that clients can maintain outside sessions. The aim is to help people feel steadier, communicate more clearly, and gain tools to manage strong emotions like anger.

Clients work through concerns at a pace that suits them, with attention to safety and realistic steps forward. To begin, readers should use the Start Therapy button to complete a brief matching questionnaire and schedule based on the therapist's availability.

How these approaches work in online care

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on empathic listening and helping people feel heard. The therapist follows the client's concerns and supports them in finding their own solutions, which can help with anger, relationship stress, and low self-esteem.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It uses practical exercises and experiments to shift unhelpful thinking and reduce reactive behaviors like intense anger or avoidance.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist collaborates with each person to decide which methods fit their goals, preferences, and real-life constraints. Sessions can change over time as needs evolve, mixing listening, skills practice, and focused problem-solving.

Confirm the session formats offered before booking, since specific formats are not listed here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. It can also allow people to use visual or written tools during a session, or to schedule meetings at times that work around work and family demands.
