About Jaeron-Rae
Jaeron-Rae Dukes is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in South Dakota with three years of experience. They work with people facing depression, anxiety, relationship and intimacy concerns, trauma and abuse, and issues common in young adulthood such as career stress and life changes. Jaeron-Rae also supports people dealing with addictions, sleep and eating difficulties, grief, and self-esteem struggles.
They use a person-centered approach that keeps the client's experience central to the work. Sessions tend to be interactive and practical, focusing on skills and strategies that clients can try between meetings. Cognitive-behavioral ideas are used to identify unhelpful thought and behavior patterns and to practice alternatives.
Attachment-based perspectives are part of the work, helping people understand how early relationships shape current patterns around intimacy and trust. Dialectical behavior therapy elements are used when stronger emotion regulation or distress tolerance skills are needed. Emotion-focused techniques help name and process difficult feelings when trauma or loss is present.
Jaeron-Rae has particular experience supporting LGBT concerns and has training in work with transgender clients. Their background also includes experience with dissociation, psychosis, incarceration-related issues, and family of origin concerns. These areas inform how they plan sessions and set goals with each person.
Practical help often includes coping skills, communication strategies, and steps for handling life transitions such as starting a new job or navigating relationship changes. The therapist frames therapy as a collaborative effort and works with each person to identify useful next steps.
To begin, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule an initial session where goals and a plan are discussed.
How therapeutic approaches shape online work
Attachment-based work looks at how early relationships affect current patterns. It helps people who struggle with intimacy, trust, or repeated relationship problems identify and change those patterns. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and offers concrete exercises to shift unhelpful habits and reduce anxiety or depression.Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work collaboratively to choose methods that match a client's needs, goals, and preferences. That means trying different strategies and adjusting the plan based on what helps most.

Online work can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also makes it possible to keep continuity of care during moves or life transitions. Licensed professionals can use a mix of discussion and skill-practice suited to video or phone meetings depending on what the client prefers and what is offered.
