Jaeron-Rae Dukes, LPC

Jaeron-Rae Dukes is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in South Dakota. They help people facing anxiety, depression, relationship and intimacy concerns, grief, trauma, addiction, sleep and eating struggles, parenting stress, and career challenges. Jaeron-Rae works with LGBT concerns and supports clients coping with major life changes and compassion fatigue.

Their approach is warm and interactive. Jaeron-Rae centers sessions on the person in front of them and treats clients as the experts on their own lives. They use clear, practical steps alongside discussion to help people test what works day to day.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, attachment-based ideas, and client-centered principles shape much of the work. Jaeron-Rae also draws on skills from dialectical behavior therapy and emotionally-focused work to address strong emotions and relationship patterns. Sessions are tailored to each person's needs and goals.

With three years of clinical experience, Jaeron-Rae brings a straightforward, compassionate style. They focus on building skills for mood management, improving communication, and coping with trauma and loss. The goal is steady, usable change that fits into an ordinary life.

Therapy sessions are offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Services are provided in English and are not open to international clients. Costs vary by location and are billed through a subscription model that can be canceled at any time.

How therapeutic approaches fit into online care

Jaeron-Rae often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice how thoughts, feelings, and actions interact. CBT focuses on practical strategies to reduce anxiety, manage low mood, and change unhelpful patterns a person can practice between sessions.

They also draw on Attachment-Based Therapy to look at how past relationship patterns affect current intimacy and communication. That work helps people understand repeated reactions and build new ways of relating that feel safer and more connected.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences and help decide whether CBT, attachment-focused work, or other methods fit best. This is a collaborative process, and plans are adjusted as needs change.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video calls let people practice communication work and see nonverbal cues. Phone sessions require less bandwidth and can fit into a short break. Live chat and messaging suit quick check-ins, reflections between appointments, or when typing feels easier than talking. These options help make regular therapy easier to fit into a busy life.
