More about Duane

Hello. I am a licensed clinical psychologist with a specialization in health psychology with over 15 years of experience. A health psychologist views people as whole beings, where psyche and soma (mind and body) are interconnected. I am a graduate of Spalding University in Louisville, Kentucky. I completed my post-doctorate at West Virginia University, School of Medicine and Behavioral Health. I am currently licensed in both West Virginia and Georgia. I have worked in a wide variety of clinical settings and populations, including psychiatric hospitals, counseling center, community behavioral health center, and forensic settings.
The core of my therapeutic approach is person-centered, where you are the expert on you. Providing a warm and safe place for you to express yourself, where you are genuinely accepted is most important. While person-centered theory helps provide necessary conditions for change, I also use solution-focused, systems, strength-based, and cognitive-behavioral therapy to help you achieve your treatment goal(s). My primary areas of focus include chronic pain, anxiety, depression, stress, and health concerns.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.
