About Jaeron-Rae

Jaeron-Rae Dukes is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in South Dakota with three years of clinical experience. They work with a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, relationship issues, trauma and abuse, and addiction. Jaeron-Rae has a particular focus on LGBT issues and supporting transgender clients. Sessions are described as interactive and person-centered, with the client’s goals guiding the work.

They use Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) alongside attachment-based and client-centered approaches to look at relationship patterns and emotional responses. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) are also part of their approach for addressing thoughts, behavior, and emotional regulation. Jaeron-Rae mentions using techniques drawn from narrative and solution-focused work to help people clarify goals and coping steps.

Their practice emphasizes practical skills such as coping strategies, communication work, and managing stress or mood symptoms. They also address eating and sleeping issues, grief, parenting concerns, anger, self-esteem, and career stress. For people facing complex problems, they note attention to co-morbidity, dissociation, codependency, and blended family dynamics.

Clients can expect collaborative conversations that identify patterns and try small, concrete changes between sessions. Jaeron-Rae highlights resources and skills alongside talk work, aiming to help people test what works in daily life. They note experience with people affected by incarceration and with sexual behavior concerns as part of their clinical caseload.

The therapist provides services in English and does not accept international clients. Costs vary with location and sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time. To begin, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule an initial session.

How EFT and Attachment Work Translate to Online Sessions

Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) focuses on identifying and working with difficult emotions and interaction patterns in relationships. It helps people name feelings that are hard to describe and look at how those feelings shape responses to others and to themselves.

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships influence current ways of relating. It can help people notice long-standing connection patterns and practice different ways of reaching out or setting boundaries.

Client-Centered Therapy prioritizes the person’s perspective and goals. The therapist follows the client’s lead, offering reflection and support while clients decide what changes to try.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Jaeron-Rae will collaborate with each person to choose which methods fit best based on needs and goals. That collaborative process may combine EFT, attachment work, CBT or DBT skills depending on the issue.

The original profile does not list specific session formats, so confirm current online options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins when needed, or accommodate quieter surroundings. Licensed professionals can use these flexible arrangements to focus on emotion work, attachment patterns, and practical skills in ways that fit everyday life.
