About
Scott Durkin, LCPC, is a therapist in Nevada with five years of experience supporting children, teens, and adults, including leading inpatient group therapy at West Hills Behavioral Hospital in Reno. His work has included helping people navigate a wide range of concerns such as depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, borderline personality disorder, schizophrenia, trauma, and addiction, with an approach shaped by working alongside individuals at different life stages and levels of need.
In sessions, Scott draws on talk therapy along with evidence-based methods such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT). These approaches can help clients better understand patterns in thoughts, emotions, and behaviors while building practical coping strategies that fit real-life situations. He aims to offer a steady combination of understanding, empathy, and skill-building so clients can address current challenges and strengthen day-to-day resilience.
Scott is certified in Prepare/Enrich, an assessment and framework often used in premarital and marriage counseling to support communication and relationship growth. For clients who want it, he can also incorporate a Christian perspective. He recognizes that starting therapy can feel intimidating, especially when fear of judgment is present, and he works to create a comfortable, judgment-free environment from the very first conversation.

Evidence-Based Therapy, Designed for Online Life
Scott Durkin, LCPC, uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques in a practical, down-to-earth way that translates well to online work. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors interact, helping clients notice unhelpful patterns and practice new responses that better support goals related to stress, anxiety, and depression.Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) adds structured skills for managing intense emotions, improving relationships, and tolerating distress without making situations worse. It can be especially useful when mood shifts, conflict, or overwhelm make it hard to stay grounded. Scott also incorporates talk therapy to help clients make sense of their experiences and strengthen coping strategies over time, including for concerns related to trauma and abuse.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. Scott works collaboratively with clients to clarify what they want to change, what has or has not helped before, and what pace feels realistic, then adjusts the tools and focus accordingly.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect, including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These options can make it easier to fit support into a busy schedule while still keeping care consistent and accessible.
