About Dwayne

Dwayne Jacobs is an LPC with 16 years of clinical experience who has worked across residential addiction programs, correctional settings, community clinics, and schools.

Background and approach

He approaches therapy as a collaborative process in which the client and therapist form an alliance to identify growth areas, set meaningful goals, and work steadily toward improved daily functioning and quality of life. His background in diverse treatment environments informs a practical, goal-oriented style that values client input and real-world outcomes.

He emphasizes that clients are full partners in therapy and that openness about questions, concerns, or needed adjustments strengthens the process. Jacobs draws from several evidence-informed methods, including cognitive behavioral techniques, client-centered practices, existential reflection, mindfulness, and motivational interviewing, tailoring interventions to the individual’s needs.

Based in Louisiana, he offers services in English and brings a calm, straightforward presence to conversations about stress, anxiety, relationships, career concerns, addiction, grief, trauma, and a wide array of life challenges.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online care

Client-centered therapy emphasizes empathetic listening and collaboration, inviting clients to lead conversations about their experiences while the therapist reflects and supports personal agency. This approach helps with issues that benefit from greater self-exploration and clear therapeutic partnership.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors through practical exercises and skill building. It is commonly used for anxiety, depression, stress management, and coping with life changes by teaching evidence-informed strategies that clients can apply between sessions.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process and will be handled collaboratively. The therapist will work with each person to weigh goals, preferences, and presenting concerns, adjusting methods over time so the work remains relevant and effective for the individual.

Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, which provides flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These formats make it easier to maintain continuity during life transitions and to practice skills in real-world contexts with guidance from a licensed professional.
