About Dwayne
Dwayne Kilgore is an LPC who focuses on helping men and others manage trauma, mood problems, and everyday stress. He uses straightforward, goal-focused therapy to help people stabilize mood, reduce anxiety, and address trauma-related symptoms.
He has worked as a licensed professional counselor in Texas for six years and has over 15 years of experience as a Christian lay counselor in the Dallas area. That background means he often draws on practical, conversational methods to guide sessions and support recovery goals.
Dwayne centers sessions on a warm and interactive style. He listens closely, helps people make sense of distressing experiences, and encourages small, realistic changes that build confidence. He views therapy as a collaborative process and aims to help clients regain control over areas of life that feel overwhelmed.
In trauma work he uses approaches that focus on processing difficult memories and on changing unhelpful thinking patterns. For mood and anxiety concerns he applies techniques that break problems into manageable steps and build coping skills.
People who reach out can expect a direct, encouraging approach that blends problem-solving with emotional support. He frames therapy as teamwork and helps clients identify practical next steps for daily life and relationships.
How certain approaches work in online therapy
Dwayne often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which helps people identify unhelpful thoughts and test them against real experience to reduce anxiety and depressive symptoms. It breaks problems into specific behaviors and thoughts that can be changed with practice.He also uses Trauma-Focused Therapy to help process painful memories and the reactions that follow them. This approach aims to reduce the hold traumatic memories have on daily life and to build coping strategies for triggers and flashbacks.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. He will discuss your goals, preferences, and how symptoms show up in your life, then recommend methods that match those needs. That decision is made together and can be adjusted as therapy proceeds.
If you plan to try online sessions, confirm current session options before booking so you know what formats are offered. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. These practical benefits help people maintain continuity of care while they work on trauma, mood, and stress concerns.
