About Drauzin

Drauzin Kern is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) with 38 years of experience. He creates a calm, affirming space where people can talk about stress, anxiety, relationship struggles, identity questions, and trauma. He focuses on practical steps that help people feel steadier and more connected in daily life.

He combines person-centered listening with specific methods to reduce symptoms and improve communication. Sessions often look like clear goal-setting, practicing new ways to speak about needs, and trying out coping skills between visits.

Background and approach

EMDR is one of the approaches he uses when trauma memories are part of the problem. Drauzin has long experience helping people with depression, low self-esteem, grief, and compassion fatigue. He also addresses family of origin issues, caregiving stress, first responder concerns, and the effects of major life changes like divorce or illness.

He pays attention to how attachment patterns shape present relationships. Clients who want a thoughtful blend of emotional support and practical tools will find a straightforward style in sessions. He works alongside people to identify what matters and to make small, usable changes.

That includes improving communication and rebuilding trust after conflict. He offers therapy that respects LGBTQ+ experiences and the challenges of identity exploration. Sessions can include short-term problem work or longer-term exploration, depending on what a person needs.

Drauzin practices in Louisiana and offers services with an emphasis on clear steps and steady support.

Online support

Approaches that guide online sessions

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and take small actions toward those values while managing painful thoughts and feelings. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and trying different behaviors to reduce distress and improve mood. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns shape current reactions and helps people develop more supported ways to connect with others.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, symptoms, and preferences, then suggest one or a combination of methods. That collaborative process makes it easier to adjust the plan as needs change and to pick strategies that feel useful in everyday life.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and use of visual cues, phone sessions can be easier with limited bandwidth, live chat suits quick check-ins, and messaging supports brief reflections between sessions. These options help people fit therapy into work, caregiving, and other daily demands.
