About Dwayne
Dwayne Jacobs is a Licensed Professional Counselor with 16 years of experience. He has worked in residential addiction programs, correctional settings, community agencies, and school-based services. He describes therapy as a shared process where the client and therapist form a working alliance to set goals and make changes.
Jacobs keeps sessions straightforward and practical. He asks clients to bring honest feedback and to take an active role in planning goals.
Background and approach
He emphasizes collaboration and adjusts the approach when something isn’t working. In sessions he helps people address stress, anxiety, depression, ADHD, addiction issues, and major life changes. He also supports people facing relationship and intimacy concerns, grief, self-esteem struggles, and work- or career-related stress.
He works with concerns linked to family of origin, fatherhood, adoption and foster care, and forgiveness issues. His methods draw from client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, existential ideas, mindfulness, and motivational interviewing. That means conversations focus on what matters to the client, real-life thinking patterns, present-moment awareness, and motivation to change.
Sessions mix practical tools and reflective discussion. People who do best with him are willing to try new habits, give straightforward feedback, and set concrete goals. He offers several online formats so people can choose what fits their schedule and communication style.
The overall aim is steady progress toward greater control over day-to-day life and relationships.
How his approaches translate to online therapy
Client-centered therapy focuses on the client's priorities and perspectives. In practice this means conversations shaped by what matters to the person, with the therapist reflecting and clarifying to help move toward goals. This approach fits concerns like relationship stress, self-esteem, and caregiving strain.Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect. Sessions teach practical tools to change unhelpful thinking and build new habits, which can help with anxiety, depression, ADHD-related routines, and coping with life changes.
Finding the right approach is a team effort. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, try methods that match those goals, and adjust based on what works. Clients are invited to give feedback so sessions stay useful and relevant.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for longer therapy talks and exercises. Phone calls can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a quick check-in is needed. Live chat and messaging work well for short updates, brief coaching, or when typing feels more comfortable. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, school, or family routines and let clients pick the style that helps them engage most effectively.
