Dwayne Kilgore, LPC

Dwayne Kilgore is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in the Dallas area of Texas who focuses on helping people move forward after trauma and overwhelming life stress. He has worked as an LPC for over six years and has served as a Christian lay counselor in the Dallas community for more than 15 years, bringing both clinical training and long-term community experience to his work.

His practice supports adults facing depression, anxiety, grief, bipolar symptoms, panic, and relationship or intimacy-related concerns, with a particular emphasis on trauma and post-traumatic stress. He has provided care to veterans and others dealing with trauma-related challenges and the secondary effects those experiences can have on family, communication, and daily functioning. He also addresses issues such as anger, self-esteem, codependency, fatherhood concerns, and financial or life-purpose stresses.

Kilgore uses a warm, interactive, and encouraging style, combining Cognitive Behavioral Therapy - a practical, skills-based method for changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors - with trauma-focused strategies such as Cognitive Processing Therapy specifically for PTSD. He also incorporates solution-focused tools and motivational interviewing techniques as appropriate to support clients toward their goals. He emphasizes collaboration and empowerment, helping people regain control of the areas of life they want to change and supporting steady progress toward greater wellbeing.
