About Jaeron-Rae
Jaeron-Rae Dukes is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who supports people facing a wide range of life and relationship problems. They focus on issues such as anxiety, depression, stress, grief, addiction, parenting, eating and sleeping troubles, and intimacy concerns. Jaeron-Rae brings a warm, interactive, and person-centered presence to sessions and treats each person with respect and curiosity.
They emphasize practical skills and clear conversation. Sessions often include talking through current struggles, practicing coping techniques, and making small changes that fit daily life.
Background and approach
Jaeron-Rae believes people know themselves best and aims to offer guidance, tools, and feedback to help move toward clearer choices. Their background includes training in several therapeutic models. Jaeron-Rae uses attachment-based ideas to look at how relationships affect emotions.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, is used to spot unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviors. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, DBT, provides concrete skills for managing strong feelings and improving relationships. With three years of clinical experience, Jaeron-Rae adapts methods to each person’s situation.
They have specific interest in working with LGBT concerns and support transgender clients with additional training. Sessions are offered in English and are based in South Dakota. People meet them for straightforward, compassionate help when facing life transitions, parenting challenges, family issues, or trauma.
Jaeron-Rae aims to create a respectful space for figuring out next steps and building sustainable skills.
Therapeutic approaches and online care
Jaeron-Rae draws on Attachment-Based Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy as key tools in online sessions. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early and close relationships shape current emotions and patterns, which can help when communication or trust feels difficult. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new ways of thinking and behaving to reduce anxiety or low mood.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each client to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. Over the first few sessions they’ll review needs, try techniques, and adjust the plan together so it feels useful and realistic.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet. Clients can use video calls for face-to-face conversation, take phone sessions when a video option isn’t possible, or use live chat and text-based messaging for shorter check-ins and homework support. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and to keep up with skill practice between sessions.
Attachment-Based Therapy
Looks at how early bonds shaped what you expect from closeness, and how that plays out now with a partner, a parent, or your own children.
Client-Centered Therapy
The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.
