Duane Drew, LCMHC

Duane Drew is a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) practicing in New Hampshire with 14 years of experience. He works with adults who are struggling with stress, anxiety, addictions, anger, low self-esteem, depression, relationships, family issues, trauma and abuse, intimacy-related concerns, and life changes.

His work focuses on practical steps that help reduce reactivity and improve day-to-day functioning. Sessions look at patterns that keep problems repeating and test small changes to behavior and thinking. He also addresses specific concerns like abandonment, attachment difficulties, communication problems, codependency, and issues around kink and alternative sexual cultures.

Duane uses several evidence-based methods to guide sessions. He draws on Client-Centered Therapy to create a straightforward collaborative process. He uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to identify unhelpful thoughts and try alternative responses. Solution-Focused ideas help set clear, achievable goals for change.

When trauma or upsetting events are central, he brings Trauma-Focused Therapy into the work to reduce ongoing distress and improve coping. The focus is on managing symptoms that interfere with daily life and relationships, not on labels or diagnoses. He helps people practice communication skills and boundary-setting so they can feel more in control of interactions.

Practical concerns like coping with divorce, workplace strain, or disruptive mood patterns are addressed with step-by-step plans. Duane asks about current goals, outlines options, and tracks progress from session to session. To begin, people are invited to use the site’s matching steps and schedule an initial appointment.
