Couples and conflict
Couples therapy is the center of my practice. My work includes relationship assessment, conflict patterns, communication, friendship, intimacy, and Gottman Method interventions.
Jason Duenas, LPC-S
Individual supervision for Texas LPC Associates.
I provide one-on-one online supervision for Associates working toward independent licensure. The focus is practical: case consultation, clinical decision-making, ethics and documentation, and meeting Texas requirements while you build experience in your own setting.
Experience and training
My clinical background.
I’ve worked across several levels of care and now focus primarily on couples and relationship work in private practice.

- Licensed Professional Counselor–Supervisor (LPC-S) in Texas
- Clinical experience
- 13+ years in psychiatric hospital, residential, nonprofit, and private-practice settings
- Couples training
- Gottman Method Level 3 trained
- Supervisor training
- Clinical-supervisor training with Harlene Anderson
How I supervise
We’ll work through the reasoning behind clinical decisions.
My approach is collaborative and direct.
I trained with Harlene Anderson in her course for clinical supervisors. Anderson co-founded the Houston Galveston Institute and is one of the developers of collaborative-dialogic practice. Her approach to supervision treats the meeting as a working conversation between supervisor and supervisee, not simply a place where the supervisor delivers an expert verdict.
In practice, I’ll ask you to explain how you understand the client, what you think is happening, why you chose an intervention, and what happened after you used it. I’ll bring my own clinical experience, question assumptions, and give direct feedback as we decide what is clinically and ethically sound.
Some questions have a direct answer about board rules, ethics, documentation, or safety, and I’ll give it. Other situations have more than one reasonable path. We’ll compare those options and the reasoning behind them so you can make sound clinical decisions when I’m not available.
What supervision covers
What we can use the time for.
The focus will depend on your setting, caseload, stage of licensure, and the questions that are coming up in your work.
Case consultation
Review what happened in a session, clarify the clinical concerns, think through the case, and decide what to do next.
Ethics and documentation
Work through questions about notes, boundaries, risk, mandated reporting, board requirements, and supervision records.
Clinical skills
Prepare for difficult conversations, choose interventions, and connect what you learned in school with what is happening in the room.
Professional development
Think through scope of practice, consultation needs, workload, licensure progress, and the kind of clinical work you want to develop.
Areas of experience
The work I have the most experience with.
I can supervise a range of clinical work. These are the areas where my background is strongest.
Affairs and betrayal
I work with affair recovery, disclosure questions, atonement, responsibility, safety, pacing, and the process of rebuilding trust.
Trauma, anxiety, and parts work
My individual work is trauma-informed and includes anxiety and IFS-informed parts work. I use these ideas without reducing the client to a clinical model.
Faith, identity, and culture
My background includes religious trauma, faith integration, clergy and ministry contexts, cultural factors, and LGBTQ+ affirming care.
Fee and format
Fee, format, and requirements.
The meeting fee includes the supervision hour, required documentation, reasonable preparation when it is needed, and one brief question between appointments. A question that needs a fuller case discussion belongs in a scheduled meeting.

Meetings are billed as they occur; there is no advance package. I offer individual online supervision and do not currently provide group supervision, employment, or a caseload.
Before entering a formal agreement, we’ll review your setting, expected caseload, supervision needs, schedule, and whether my experience fits the clinical work you expect to do.
Texas currently requires LPC Associates to receive at least four hours of supervision each month. Board rules can change, so Associates remain responsible for understanding current requirements. Review the Texas BHEC supervision FAQs
