About Jaeron-Rae

Jaeron-Rae Dukes is an LPC who supports people facing a wide range of concerns, including depression, anxiety, relationship and intimacy-related issues, trauma and abuse, addictions, grief, stress, and challenges around eating and sleeping.

Background and approach

They also address family and family-of-origin dynamics, parenting struggles, work and career stress, self-esteem difficulties, bipolar disorder, and compassion fatigue. Additional focus areas include attachment issues, codependency, communication problems, dissociation, divorce and separation, and substance-related problems.

Their style is warm, interactive, and client-centered, emphasizing the client as the expert in their own life while offering guidance and practical resources. Dukes draws on several therapeutic approaches to tailor care to each person's needs, blending Internal Family Systems with attachment-informed and client-centered work alongside cognitive and skills-based strategies.

With three years of clinical experience and a South Dakota LPC (SD LPC 20624), they aim to help clients build coping skills, increase self-understanding, and move toward meaningful change. Therapeutic work may incorporate emotion regulation strategies, exploration of relational patterns, and targeted interventions for trauma and addictive behaviors.

Jaeron-Rae invites those ready to take a step toward healing to explore therapy as a collaborative process.

How integrative approaches translate into online therapy

Internal Family Systems is an approach that helps people explore different parts of themselves, understand internal conflicts, and work toward inner harmony; it can be useful for issues like trauma, dissociation, and complex emotional patterns. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationships shape current bonds and emotional responses, offering a way to address intimacy concerns, communication problems, and relationship distress. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathy, active listening, and the therapist's nonjudgmental presence to help clients discover their own goals and resources.

Choosing the right approach is often a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each client to identify goals, preferences, and needs and will adapt techniques from these models to find the best fit rather than prescribing a single method from the outset.

Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to maintain consistency in care, fit sessions into busy lives, and access therapeutic support from wherever the client is located within the therapist's service area.
