Dwayne Kilgore, LPC

Dwayne Kilgore is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Texas who brings a decade and a half of faith-based care together with clinical training. He has served as a Christian lay counselor in the Dallas area for over 15 years and has worked as an LPC for more than 6 years. This combination of community-based counseling and formal licensure shapes a practice focused on trauma, PTSD, and the ripple effects those experiences have on relationships, mood, and everyday functioning.

Dwayne has supported both individuals and groups through a range of concerns including depression, anxiety, grief, intimacy and relationship challenges, and complex trauma. He has particular experience helping veterans and members of the armed forces navigate trauma-related symptoms and the interpersonal difficulties that can follow. His work also addresses issues such as anger, self-esteem, bipolar and mood disorders, panic and social anxiety, and life-stage challenges like fatherhood and finding purpose.

His therapeutic style is warm, supportive, interactive, and goal-oriented. He integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Cognitive Processing Therapy for PTSD alongside other evidence-informed modalities to tailor care to each person’s needs. Dwayne emphasizes collaboration - working together to set recovery goals and to build the skills clients need to regain control over areas of life they want to change. He welcomes those who are ready to pursue a practical, strengths-based path toward greater well-being.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care with Dwayne Kilgore

The practice draws on several practical approaches to help people move forward. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thought and behavior patterns and replacing them with strategies that reduce anxiety and improve mood - it is often used for depression, panic, and anxiety-related concerns. Motivational Interviewing is a collaborative, strengths-based method that helps people clarify their goals and resolve ambivalence - it is useful when someone is working to change behaviors or make decisions that matter to them. Trauma-Focused Therapy, including Cognitive Processing Therapy for PTSD, involves targeted work on traumatic memories and their effects so that people can reduce trauma-related symptoms and rebuild a sense of safety and control.

Dwayne approaches treatment as a collaborative process - he will work with each person to identify which methods best fit their needs, goals, and preferences and to adjust the plan as progress is made. Clients are invited to be active partners in shaping therapy so care is relevant and practical.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to engage in that process. Sessions may take place by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging, allowing appointments to fit work, family, and mobility needs. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care and to access licensed professionals from different locations while focusing on meaningful, goal-oriented work.
