About Dwayne

Dwayne Jacobs is an LPC based in Louisiana with 16 years of clinical experience across residential addiction treatment, correctional settings, community programs, and school-based services.

Background and approach

He approaches therapy as a collaborative process in which the client and therapist form an alliance to clarify concerns, set realistic goals, and work together toward improved day-to-day functioning and life satisfaction.

His background gives him familiarity with a wide range of issues including stress, anxiety, relationship and career concerns, addiction, trauma, grief, bipolar conditions, compassion fatigue, and ADHD. Jacobs centers the client's perspective and encourages open feedback so therapy can be adjusted as needed.

He emphasizes active participation from clients, viewing honesty and effort as essential parts of progress. Using approaches such as client-centered methods, cognitive behavioral techniques, existential exploration, mindfulness, and motivational interviewing, he tailors sessions to each person’s needs and preferences while helping them identify practical steps forward and build coping resources.

Approach and Online Access to Care



Client-Centered Therapy focuses on creating an accepting, nonjudgmental environment where the client's values and perspectives drive the work; this approach helps people clarify priorities and feel heard while exploring change. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a practical, skills-oriented method that identifies unhelpful thought patterns and develops new coping strategies, which can be useful for concerns like anxiety, depression, and stress. Motivational Interviewing is a collaborative conversation style that enhances a person's own motivation to change by exploring ambivalence and building commitment to goals.

Deciding which approach fits best is part of the therapeutic journey. The therapist will collaborate with clients to assess needs, goals, and preferences and may combine elements from different methods to match what is most helpful for the individual. This collaborative planning helps shape treatment that feels relevant and doable.

Online therapy offers practical benefits such as scheduling flexibility and access from different locations via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care around work, family, and other commitments while still engaging in structured therapeutic work with licensed professionals.
