About Duane

Duane Drew is a licensed mental health counselor (LCMHC) practicing in New Hampshire with 14 years of experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, addictions, and major life transitions.

Background and approach

He works with clients facing relationship and family tensions, trauma and abuse, intimacy-related concerns, anger, and self-esteem struggles, applying an individualized approach that draws on multiple evidence-informed methods. His style blends practical skill-building with empathic listening, emphasizing clearer communication, healthier coping strategies, and insight into long-standing patterns such as attachment issues, codependency, and dissociation.

Duane integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) alongside client-centered and solution-focused techniques to address immediate problems while also attending to underlying emotional wounds like abandonment, domestic violence, or divorce and separation. Throughout his practice he supports people dealing with complex presentations including comorbidity, personality-related challenges, and disruptive mood symptoms.

Sessions aim to help clients gain actionable tools and greater self-understanding so they can move toward more stable relationships and daily functioning. Duane’s work is oriented toward practical change and compassionate collaboration tailored to each person’s goals and circumstances.

Integrating practical therapies with flexible online care



Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used to help clients identify unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and to practice concrete strategies for managing symptoms like anxiety, depression, and stress. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathic listening and collaboration, giving clients space to explore feelings and priorities while the therapist offers support and reflection. Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on identifying goals and building on existing strengths to create small, achievable changes in daily life.

Choosing the right therapeutic approach is part of the work together. The therapist collaborates with each person to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences, and adjusts the plan as progress and circumstances evolve.

Online sessions are offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase accessibility and fit therapy into busy lives. These options make it possible to maintain continuity of care during life changes, schedule around work or family commitments, and use different formats for skills practice, check-ins, or deeper sessions depending on what clients find most helpful.
