About Jaeron-Rae
Jaeron-Rae Dukes is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in South Dakota who supports people facing a wide array of challenges such as depression, anxiety, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, addiction, grief, sleep and eating concerns, parenting struggles, and work-related stress.
Background and approach
They also address intimacy-related issues, bipolar mood concerns, self-esteem struggles, compassion fatigue, and a range of attachment and family-of-origin matters. With three years of clinical experience, Jaeron-Rae brings focused attention to complex presentations including dissociation, psychosis, and co-morbid conditions while also working with clients coping with major life changes and natural or human-caused disasters.
Therapy is offered in a warm, interactive, and person-centered manner that emphasizes collaboration and respect for each client’s expertise about their own life. Jaeron-Rae draws on cognitive behavioral methods alongside attachment-based and client-centered approaches to help clients develop practical coping skills and reframe unhelpful patterns.
The practice adapts methods such as dialectical behavior techniques and emotionally-focused ideas to match individual goals, and the therapist provides tailored resources and support as clients work toward greater stability and meaning. They welcome the courage it takes to seek help and aim to be a steady ally through the process.
Practical therapeutic approaches for online care
Jaeron-Rae frequently integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) into online work, focusing on identifying and adjusting unhelpful thoughts and behaviors to reduce symptoms of anxiety, depression, and stress. CBT is practical and skills-based, helping clients develop coping strategies and experiment with new ways of responding to everyday challenges.Attachment-Based Therapy is another influence in their practice; it explores how early relationships shape current patterns and helps clients build more supported ways of relating and connecting. This approach can be helpful for people navigating intimacy issues, codependency, or family-of-origin concerns.
Finding the right approach is part of the process, and Jaeron-Rae emphasizes collaborative decision making to determine what methods best fit a client’s goals, needs, and preferences. They tailor interventions over time and invite clients to provide feedback so treatment can evolve in a way that feels useful and respectful.
Online therapy with this clinician uses video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to offer flexibility in how clients engage. These formats allow appointments to fit into busy schedules, remove geographic barriers within the licensed region, and support continuity of care when in-person options are limited. The variety of session types also makes it easier to access brief or more in-depth interactions depending on what the client needs.
