About Dwayne
Dwayne Kilgore is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with six years of clinical experience. He works with adults who are dealing with anxiety, depression, trauma and PTSD, and related challenges such as relationship strain and intimacy concerns.
He has a long history of community-based counseling, including more than 15 years as a Christian lay counselor in the Dallas area. That background informs how he talks with people about faith, meaning, and practical coping when those topics matter to them. He has worked with veterans on trauma-related problems and with people whose relationships have been affected by past wounds.
In sessions he uses Cognitive Behavioral techniques alongside other methods to help people manage symptoms and change patterns that get in the way of daily life. He also uses trauma-focused practices, including Cognitive Processing Therapy for PTSD and other trauma concerns.
Dwayne typically takes an interactive approach. He will work with clients to identify unhelpful thinking and to build small, practical steps toward clearer goals. He also draws on motivational strategies to support commitment to change and solution-focused ideas to set short-term targets.
People who come to him often want help with stress, anger, self-esteem, and problems tied to mood disorders or panic. He also supports work on codependency and communication problems when they are part of those concerns.
How sessions work
How his approaches translate to online work
He commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thoughts and change behaviors, which helps with anxiety, depression, panic, and mood concerns. He also uses Trauma-Focused methods, including Cognitive Processing Therapy, to address PTSD symptoms and the impacts of past abuse or violence.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will review your history, goals, and preferences and then suggest whether CBT, trauma-focused work, or motivational and solution-focused steps make the most sense. That choice is made together and can change as progress is made.
The original biography does not list which online formats are offered, so confirm the current session options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. They can also let people use audio-only when bandwidth or camera time is a problem. Ask about offered formats when you schedule to find what works best for your routine.
