Dwayne Jacobs, LPC

Dwayne Jacobs is a Licensed Professional Counselor with 16 years of experience. He practices from Louisiana and brings experience from residential addiction programs, correctional settings, community agencies, and school-based work. He frames therapy as a shared process where the client and therapist set goals and work toward clearer, more manageable daily life.

He treats stress and anxiety, depression, relationship and intimacy concerns, and addiction-related difficulties. He also helps people facing grief, trauma and abuse, parenting stress, career pressure, and challenges tied to identity and LGBT issues. ADHD, bipolar concerns, compassion fatigue, and self-esteem problems are also within his focus.

In sessions he emphasizes an honest working relationship. He expects clients to be active partners, sharing questions or concerns so adjustments can be made. This straightforward approach helps him tailor practical steps that fit each person’s life.

His work draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and client-centered methods alongside existential and mindfulness perspectives. He also uses motivational interviewing to help people explore change and commitment. These approaches are used to identify unhelpful patterns and build more effective ways of thinking and behaving.

Dwayne has past roles across varied systems, which inform his understanding of complex life situations. He offers teletherapy options and integrates his on-the-ground experience into sessions to help people reach the goals they set together.

Approaches that guide remote work

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and responding to each person as an individual. It aims to create a respectful space where the client’s goals drive the work and the therapist offers empathy and support.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect. It helps identify unhelpful thinking patterns and builds concrete skills to manage anxiety, depression, stress, and behavior linked to addiction or attention differences.

Motivational Interviewing helps people move toward change by clarifying values and increasing motivation. It is useful when someone feels unsure about making a change or needs help finding commitment to a plan.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to choose methods that fit goals, needs, and preferences. Techniques can shift over time as progress is reviewed together.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video calls enable face-to-face conversation, phone sessions use less bandwidth, chat can work for shorter check-ins, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and different daily routines.
