About Dwayne
Dwayne Kilgore is an LPC (Licensed Professional Counselor) practicing in Texas with six years of clinical experience. He focuses on trauma and PTSD, and he also addresses depression, anxiety, grief, anger, and intimacy-related concerns. Sessions are conducted in English and his background includes years of community-based Christian lay counseling in the Dallas area.
Kilgore emphasizes practical, problem-focused work. He uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) alongside trauma-focused methods to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and try different responses. He has experience supporting veterans with trauma and relationships affected by traumatic events. He also addresses mood disorders, panic attacks, social anxiety, and codependency.
In sessions he works with people on communication problems, fatherhood issues, money and financial stress, and questions about life purpose. He uses motivational interviewing and solution-focused techniques to set goals and identify steps people can try between meetings. The focus is on concrete skills and short-term strategies as well as addressing deeper trauma when needed.
His past roles include group and individual work with diverse concerns. The Dallas-area lay counseling experience informs his approach to faith and values when clients bring those topics up. He uses Cognitive Processing Therapy for PTSD and trauma-related work.

How his approaches translate to online work
Dwayne uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Trauma-Focused Therapy in ways that fit remote sessions. CBT involves identifying specific thoughts and behaviors, then practicing alternative responses and brief exercises between meetings. That approach works well for stress, anxiety, panic, and mood concerns because it focuses on observable changes and concrete homework. Trauma-Focused Therapy and Cognitive Processing elements address how traumatic memories and beliefs affect daily life. These methods use careful, stepwise processing and skill building to reduce trauma-related symptoms and improve coping. Motivational Interviewing helps when someone is uncertain about change by clarifying goals and building motivation through focused conversation. Choosing an approach is collaborative. He will discuss your goals and preferences, and then recommend steps that fit your situation. The plan can adjust over time based on what helps most. Session logistics should be confirmed before booking because the biography does not list specific formats. Ask about available online session options during the initial matching steps. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a weekday break, reduce travel time, or allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. It also supports continuing care for people who have moved within the same state while keeping the focus on practical skills and trauma work.Areas of expertise
