About Jaeron-Rae
Jaeron-Rae Dukes is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who helps people facing anxiety, depression, relationship and intimacy struggles, trauma and abuse, and challenges with addiction or grief.

Background and approach
Jaeron-Rae aims to create a warm, interactive space where clients can explore what matters to them and build practical skills for daily life. They use a mix of approaches drawn from client-centered work, cognitive behavioral methods, and attachment-focused ideas.
Sessions focus on straightforward tools - identifying patterns, practicing communication skills, and setting small goals. Jaeron-Rae emphasizes collaboration and respects each person's knowledge about their own life.
Their background includes three years of counseling experience in South Dakota and work across a wide range of concerns. Jaeron-Rae has a particular interest in supporting LGBT people and has also worked with issues such as dissociation, psychosis, and complex trauma.
They combine talking, skill practice, and real-world homework to help people make steady progress. In sessions, clients can expect a calm, respectful tone and clear steps to try between meetings.
The therapist listens for attachment patterns and communication habits that affect relationships and daily functioning. With an emphasis on practical change, Jaeron-Rae tailors the pace and tools to each person's needs.
Therapy can involve short skill-focused work or longer exploration depending on goals. Jaeron-Rae guides clients through coping strategies, communication practice, and methods to reduce symptoms and improve relationships over time.
Therapeutic approaches and online options that fit your life
Jaeron-Rae draws from the Gottman Method to address relationship patterns in clear, behavior-focused ways. That work often centers on communication habits, conflict management, and rebuilding connection through specific exercises and conversations. Attachment-Based Therapy is used to understand how early bonds shape current relationships and emotional reactions; this helps clarify why certain situations feel triggering and what changes feel most healing.Finding the right approach is part of the process. Jaeron-Rae will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their goals, needs, and comfort level. They can mix approaches over time, trying different tools and tracking what helps most so the plan stays practical and responsive.
Online sessions are available as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit varying schedules and needs. Video calls allow face-to-face interaction and skill practice, phone sessions use less bandwidth and can work during brief breaks, live chat supports shorter check-ins, and text messaging helps keep momentum between meetings. These options give flexibility for people juggling work, parenting, or other commitments while pursuing therapy.
