About Drauzin
Drauzin Kern is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in Louisiana with 38 years of experience. He works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship struggles, grief, trauma and LGBT-related concerns. He also helps those coping with life changes and compassion fatigue.
He focuses on practical conversations that help people understand what is happening and make small changes that matter. Sessions often look at communication patterns, attachment dynamics, and ways to manage strong emotions like anger or shame. He uses clear, action-oriented methods rather than clinical jargon.
Kern draws on several approaches to match how someone prefers to work. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps identify unhelpful thinking and change behavior. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy supports living according to personal values even when feelings are hard. Attachment-based ideas guide conversations about how early relationships shape current connection and trust.
He has supported clients through a wide range of life events - divorce, caregiving strain, cancer, first responder stress, and aging concerns. He also addresses family of origin issues, codependency, commitment and intimacy difficulties. The aim is to strengthen coping skills and improve everyday functioning.
Sessions are offered in English and international clients may be accepted. Fees vary by location and use a subscription model that can be canceled at any time. To begin, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.
BHow sessions work
Therapeutic approaches and how online sessions fit your life
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice painful thoughts and feelings without being driven by them, then take small steps toward the life they value. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and coping with major life changes.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them with concrete behavioral experiments. It is practical for anxiety, low mood, and problems that include stuck habits or avoidance.
Attachment-based work looks at how early relationships shape current connection and trust. It can be useful when relationship patterns, intimacy, commitment, or communication keep recurring problems in place.
Finding the right approach is part of the work itself. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust the plan as progress is made.
Confirm the session formats offered before booking since the biography does not list specific formats. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life - shorter check-ins during a lunch break, avoiding travel time, or choosing a session style that matches comfort with video. Ask about session length and scheduling when you complete the matching questionnaire and set your first appointment.
