Duane Drew

Duane Drew is a licensed clinical mental health counselor (LCMHC) in New Hampshire with 14 years of experience. He helps people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, depression, relationship trouble, addictions, anger, or changes like separation or divorce. He also supports those dealing with trauma, intimacy-related concerns, and issues around self-esteem.

His style is calm and direct. He listens first and then helps clients identify patterns that keep them stuck. Sessions focus on practical steps people can try between meetings, clearer communication, and healthier coping skills. He works to make therapy feel accessible rather than intimidating.

Duane draws from client-centered methods that put the client's priorities first. He also uses cognitive behavioral techniques to spot unhelpful thinking and solution-focused ideas to find realistic next steps. For people affected by past harm, he applies trauma-focused approaches to address painful memories in manageable ways.

Over the years he has assisted people with a wide range of concerns, including attachment problems, codependency, commitment or control issues, and struggles tied to alternative sex culture like BDSM and kink. He also supports those facing dissociation, co-morbidity, or mood dysregulation.

Clients can expect straightforward guidance and collaborative planning. Duane aims to help each person build clearer boundaries, better self-awareness, and practical tools they can use outside sessions.

Approaches that guide online sessions

Duane commonly uses client-centered work and cognitive behavioral techniques in his practice. Client-centered work focuses on listening and following what matters most to the person, helping them voice goals and make choices that fit their life. Cognitive behavioral techniques look at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect and teach practical exercises to change unhelpful thinking and behaviors.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. He will collaborate with each person to decide which combination of methods makes sense based on their needs, goals, and comfort. The treatment plan can shift as people learn what helps them most.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, cut travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules require them. It also lets people choose a setting that feels less formal and try therapeutic tools between meetings, which often helps progress continue outside session time.
