About me

Hello, I am Duane Winter. I am a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor and Licensed Alcohol and Drug Counselor in the state of Minnesota. I will treat you with respect, warmth, and empathy, and am a self-motivated professional who strives to help individuals reach their full potential, while understanding you are the expert in your own life. I like to use acceptance & commitment therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, solution-focused therapy, & mindfulness, while being client or person centered. By getting to know you, we can together, figure out which type of counseling is going to be most beneficial to you & find ways to utilize your strengths.
I appreciate the differences in everyone and center my treatment around the specific needs of each person I work with. Additionally, the foundation of my work with a client is the strength of our therapeutic relationship. I put a lot of emphasis towards building trust and fostering a healthy and open line of communication. My goals during each session are to promote growth and to build upon the strengths that my clients already have, so individuals to create change and focus on all of the things they can control. Walking alongside clients in a supportive, encouraging way is my main objective.
I believe it takes courage and strength to participate in counseling by being open and honest and leaves you feeling vulnerable. Everyone is fighting personal battles, but you do not need to do this alone and know, you are worth fighting for.

Duane cuts to the chase. He is kind and compassionate in the way he holds me accountable for my behavior and he helps me learn how to change it for the better. My time with Duane is always well spent no matter what type of problems I might have - whether family relationships or work related problems. He has helped me change the way I look at relationships and the way I show up in them for the better. I highly recommend Duane as an effective therapist.

I had serious doubts about BetterHelp going into it. Decided to give it a try and I've been really impressed with the tools provided by the platform, and also really happy with Duane Winter. Great connection and the guy cares... this coming from a sceptic and pessimist. So hats off to you Duane. Thanks for your help.
