- LPC
I am a Mental Health Therapist. I have been working as a LPC for over 6 years and I have been a Christian Lay Counselor in the Dallas area for over 15 years. I have worked with individuals and groups with a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, relationship issue, however my main area of support is dealing with Trauma and clients with PTSD. I have helped the Vets over the years to navigate through some of their trauma as well as many relationship issues caused by their trauma.
I have a warm, supportive, interactive and positive approach to therapy. I use the Cognitive Behavioral approach as well as other modalities for therapy in helping you to achieve your recovery goals. I use Cognitive Processing Therapy for PTSD and other trauma concerns.
It has been said, ”Put your hands in mine, and together we can accomplish what you could not do alone.”. I believe we all struggle from time to time and with the help of others, we can get through anything. You don’t have to walk this journey alone. I look forward to helping you become empowered to take control back of the areas your life that you need and want to.
I look forward to helping you to get more out of life.

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling.

Dwayne has been a blessing for me to have as a therapist. He listens, he cares, and he is always available.

I thank God for Dwayne. He has made such an amazing difference in my life in just a short period of time.
Great therapist. Great listener. Has helped me realize important things in life and has given me the tools to navigate this very complicated world.
Mr Dwayne keeps it real and doesn’t sugar code anything he is gonna tell you the truth not what you just want to hear… He is going to help you see the light at the end of the tunnel if you put in the work consistently and stay in contact with him
Dwayne seem to have a "third ear" in tuning in to my unique situation. Recommend highly!
Always good and helps me take little steps at a time.
Dwayne has been patient when interacting with me, he listens intently and provides insight where clarity is needed. He is unbiased in his judgement and provides the tools I need to improve my life.
My therapy sessions keep me grounded.
Dwayne has really been a big help in helping me through my trauma and getting an actual understanding of why things turned out the way they did it why certain things happen in general. He is incredibly astute and so knowledgeable. His best quality to me is he's a Christian and is able to incorporate biblical messaging to support what he says. I highly recommend him to anyone looking for a Therapist to truly help them with whatever is going on in their life. God Bless you Dwayne Kilgore
He's done a terrific job and I tremendously appreciate his time and expertise. Looking forward to continuing my journey with him.
Dwayne Kilgore has been a huge help and an even greater blessing. I'm going through the toughest season of my life right now, and desperately want to make healthy and wise decisions. Dwayne helped me to center my thoughts, focus on my beliefs, and gave thought provoking feedback on my current circumstances. I leave every session feeling lighter of spirit and encouraged to keep going. Most importantly, he reminds me to keep my faith and to continue being the best version of myself. It feels good to know that there are people whom you don't know that can help you through the toughest storms.I am very appreciative of every session we've had. I pray everyone ends up with a therapist who sees and cares like Mr. Kilgore does, and I pray he is blessed with as much love, wisdom, and support that he provides for others.
Mr. Kilgore was truly a great match for me. I feel therapy with him is exactly what I need. I found Guidance with comfort, and wisdom. I/He doesn't beat around the bush, he'll tell you exactly how it is. I would recommend him assuredly.
I will definitely recommend Dwayne in a heart beat! He is fantastic at his passion and I am a directly impacted by his advice and encouragements to have a better quality life. I have taken therapy before but honestly I am receiving help on a level that is actually working. I feel peaceful and heard after every session. I am grateful for Dwayne's time and beyond!!
Dwayne has been great so far in our sessions. He listens, has a good sense of humor, gives concrete suggestions and steps, and will check in with you.
Dwayne offers a positive outlook and helps me see things from a different perspective. I appreciate what he has to say and I will continue moving forward.
Dwayne is outstanding at what he does. I have never felt judged and feel open sharing absolutely anything. He gives me a mix of implementable solutions and tools to solve my own problems. He gives me amazing context into why I am reacting to things a certain way and how to address that. I could not recommend him more highly.
Dwayne does a great job of pushing me but at the same time understanding.
Dwayne provided me with very helpful council. He is a good listener and gave me tools that helped me navigate the challenges I have with anxiety and depression. He made me feel comfortable during our sessions. He used a good measure of both clinical and spiritual methods.
He’s a great counselor and an even better person
Dwayne has helped me tremendously with identifying the root cause of my issues.
Dwayne has been very helpful. I was on the verge of having a breakdown, feeling distressed, depressed and overall not myself. Dwayne helped me to focus on the issues, gave me an exercise to help me make decisions and helped me take the time to realize what's important and what I want my life to be. Now it's time to walk the walk. Thank you Dwayne for your to the point and direct counseling. I look forward to following up as I go through this next stage.
This is the first time I looked forward and enjoy my therapy sessions. In the past I always dreaded it but now I love it and can really see the difference in my week. Thank you Mr. Kilgore for always listening and being flexible with your time. Very much appreciated.
Dwayne has been a godsend. He has helped me see things in a new light and learn how to manage my triggers. All in just a short period of time. I’ve never done counseling before, and I couldn’t imagine it any better. So, thank you.
Be ready for an impactful but meaningful conversation. He might not be for the light of heart but he will get to the meat and bones of what ails you.
It is refreshing to find a provider with whom one can look forward to working with, despite the circumstances of having to come into therapy, and feel confident that they are familiar with your condition as well as the treatments and techniques used to promote recovery. It is also reassuring to know that your provider is familiar with the experts in that particular area of mental health; that was a new experience.good
Mr Kilgore is one of the best around
Dr. Kilgore is a very good counselor, Great listener and always shares solutions to any problems. Most importantly he makes you feel like you can trust him.
Always thoughtful and a good listener. I don’t always have easy things to talk about so Dwayne helps me to look at things a different way with examples.
he's a great man
Dwaye is a pleasure to work with. He does a great job of listening and offering practical solutions. I'm glad we connected!
Dwayne is very insightful and he provides exceptional advice. I was able to identify the root cause as to why I struggle with self esteem issues. I am still working through it.
As a Christian man still growing in my walk with God, Dwayne has helped me onto a path of reflection and discovery about the real truth of my relationships. How God sees and loves me, how I serve and love the Lord, and how this dynamic is reflected in my marriage, parenting, and fellowship with others. I am early in my transformation but am encouraged by Dwayne's honest questions of how and whether I truly love the Lord my God with all my heart, mind, and soul. I would recommend Dwayne to anyone looking to start the journey toward the authentic person that God designed them to be.
Dr. D. always listens & provide tangible & practical methods for improving your life.
Very honest and straight forward...extremely helpful and understanding...
He has been supportive and firm in his conversations with me.
He seems very calm and easy to talk to. Very understanding.
He is extremely helpful! I am not good at english and he is very patient . I highly recommend.
A really warm kind guy! I instantly felt like he cared about me and my situation! I would love for him to be my husband's counselor, I just don't feel comfortable having a male counselor.
