About Dwayne
Dwayne Jacobs is an LPC with 16 years of clinical experience.

He approaches therapy as a shared process where the client and therapist work together toward clearer goals.
Dwayne sees the person in front of him as an equal partner. He asks for honesty and effort and encourages clients to speak up about questions or concerns.
Background and approach
When something in therapy isn't working, he adjusts the plan with the client's input. In sessions he helps people identify areas they want to change. Then he helps them set realistic goals and take steps toward those goals.
This can include everyday skills for coping with stress, managing mood, or improving communication. His background includes work with addiction, trauma, grief, relationship and intimacy concerns, career and parenting stress, and issues related to identity such as LGBT concerns. He also supports people dealing with anger, self-esteem issues, ADHD, and compassion fatigue.
Dwayne uses several therapeutic approaches to match the needs of each person. He draws on Narrative Therapy to help clients reframe their stories, Client-Centered methods to follow the client's lead, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to address unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. He also uses existential and mindfulness ideas when those perspectives fit the work.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is used when it helps to identify unhelpful thoughts and build different habits of thinking and behaving.Finding the right approach is part of the work.
