About Jaeron-Rae
Jaeron-Rae Dukes is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in South Dakota with three years of clinical experience. They work with adults facing depression, anxiety, relationship challenges, trauma and abuse, addictions, grief, codependency, and related concerns. Jaeron-Rae also lists LGBT-related issues and intimacy-related concerns among their focus areas.
Jaeron-Rae uses a straightforward, person-centered approach. Sessions focus on the client's goals, and the therapist supports people as they identify practical steps forward. Conversations often include skill-building for coping with stress, managing strong emotions, and improving communication in relationships.
The clinical toolkit includes cognitive behavioral methods to challenge unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, and dialectical behavior strategies for emotion regulation and distress tolerance. Attachment-based ideas guide work on relationship patterns and how early connections shape current responses.
In-session work can involve talking through recent conflicts, practicing new communication moves, or trying behavioral experiments to test changes. Jaeron-Rae aims to help people notice patterns like people-pleasing, difficulty saying no, or living around another person's moods, and then practice different ways of responding.
They have experience with a wide range of mental health concerns, including eating and sleeping issues, bipolar and depression, and substance-related problems. Jaeron-Rae lists additional focuses such as blended family issues, dissociation, and family of origin matters. Sessions are conducted in English and are offered to clients located in South Dakota.

How sessions work
How their approaches translate to online sessions
Attachment-based work looks at how early relationships shape current reactions. Online sessions using attachment ideas often focus on identifying patterns in close relationships and practicing new ways to ask for needs or respond to conflict. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. In online CBT sessions the therapist and client review recent situations, test unhelpful thoughts, and plan small behavioral experiments to try between appointments. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) concentrates on emotion regulation and distress tolerance skills. When used online, DBT techniques include coaching on grounding skills, paced breathing, and step-by-step plans for handling crises without escalating conflict.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to choose methods that fit the person's goals and preferences. That choice can shift over time as needs change and progress is observed.
Session formats are not specified in the profile, so confirm which online options are offered before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins or longer sessions when needed. It can also make it simpler to practice communication skills between meetings. Licensed professionals tailor pacing and homework to fit a client's everyday life.
