Duane Drew, LCMHC

Duane Drew is a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) in New Hampshire with 14 years of clinical experience. He works with adults facing stress, anxiety, depression, addiction, anger, low self-esteem, relationship struggles, trauma and abuse, intimacy issues, and life changes. Duane also addresses codependency and related patterns such as attachment and communication problems.

Duane uses straightforward, practical conversations to help people notice what keeps them stuck. Sessions focus on identifying patterns, learning clearer ways to set limits, and testing small changes in day-to-day life. He draws on approaches that emphasize the client’s perspective and present-day goals.

He commonly combines Client-Centered methods with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Solution-Focused techniques. This means listening to what matters to the person first, then working on specific thoughts and behaviors that maintain distress, and trying concrete steps that can change how relationships feel. Trauma-Focused methods are used when past events are part of current problems.

Duane aims to help clients improve communication, manage difficult emotions, and regain a sense of control after upheaval. Sessions often include practical exercises, homework to practice new skills, and regular check-ins about progress. He encourages clear goal-setting so each session has a purpose.

Duane practices in New Hampshire and works in English. He has experience supporting people through divorce, disruptions in attachment, complicated grief, and challenges tied to alternative sexual cultures. For anyone considering work on codependent patterns, he offers a direct, task-oriented style that emphasizes workable changes.
