Dwayne Kilgore, LPC

Dwayne Kilgore is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with six years of professional experience and over 15 years as a Christian lay counselor in the Dallas area. He works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, trauma and PTSD, anger, intimacy concerns, self-esteem issues, and mood disorders such as bipolar conditions.

He has extensive experience supporting veterans and others affected by trauma. Much of his practice focuses on trauma-related problems and post-traumatic stress. He also addresses relationship strain that can flow from traumatic experiences and life stresses.

In sessions he uses straightforward, interactive methods. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a regular part of his work. He applies Cognitive Processing Therapy when treating trauma and PTSD. Motivational Interviewing and Solution-Focused techniques appear in his approach when clients want practical steps and clearer goals.

Clients can expect a collaborative style that emphasizes problem-solving and skill building. He often helps people reframe difficult thoughts, practice new coping skills, and set small achievable goals to reduce distress and improve daily functioning.

Dwayne draws on his background working with groups and individuals in community and faith settings. That experience feeds into how he supports people working through grief, communication problems, fatherhood concerns, money stress, and the ripple effects of trauma. He encourages steady, concrete progress rather than quick fixes.
