Στο ιδιωτικό του γραφείο στα Εξάρχεια, παρέχει ατομική ψυχοθεραπεία σε ενήλικες, ενώ ειδικεύεται στην Ψυχαναλυτική / Ψυχοδυναμική Ψυχοθεραπεία μέσα από το πολυετές κλινικό πρόγραμμα του ΔΙ.ΚΕ.Ψ.Υ. Η προσέγγισή του εστιάζει στην αποκωδικοποίηση των βαθύτερων αιτιών που επηρεάζουν την καθημερινότητά μας, διευκολύνοντας μια πορεία προς την αυτογνωσία και τη σταδιακή εσωτερική ενδυνάμωση. Όπως υποστήριξε και ο Σίγκμουντ Φρόιντ: "Το να είναι κανείς απόλυτα ειλικρινής με τον εαυτό του είναι μια καλή άσκηση", και αυτή ακριβώς η ειλικρίνεια αποτελεί τον πυρήνα της θεραπευτικής εργασίας.

Η κλινική του διαδρομή διαμορφώθηκε μέσα από την πολυετή εργασία σε απαιτητικά περιβάλλοντα διεθνών οργανισμών, όπως η Διεθνής Επιτροπή Διάσωσης (International Rescue Committee) και ο Διεθνής Οργανισμός Μετανάστευσης (International Organization for Migration), προσφέροντάς του πολύτιμη εμπειρία στη διαχείριση του τραύματος, της κατάθλιψης και του άγχους. Πέρα από την αντιμετώπιση των συμπτωμάτων, η θεραπευτική διαδικασία εστιάζει στην ολόπλευρη υποστήριξη του σύγχρονου ενήλικα, καλύπτοντας ζητήματα που αφορούν την προσωπική ταυτότητα, τη σεξουαλικότητα και την αυτοεικόνα.

Η κλινική του πρακτική πλαισιώνεται από συνεχή εβδομαδιαία εποπτεία από ψυχαναλύτρια της Ελληνικής Ψυχαναλυτικής Εταιρείας, διασφαλίζοντας την επιστημονική αρτιότητα και τη δεοντολογία της διαδικασίας. Έχοντας εκπαιδευτεί στη Διαπροσωπική Θεραπεία και την Κλινική Ψυχοπαθολογία, ο Πρωτόγηρος Δούκας βοηθά στη βελτίωση της ποιότητας των διαπροσωπικών σχέσεων και την επεξεργασία σύνθετων βιωμάτων. Σε ένα περιβάλλον ασφάλειας, συμπερίληψης και εχεμύθειας, στόχος είναι να δημιουργηθεί ο απαραίτητος χώρος ώστε η εσωτερική σύγκρουση να δώσει τη θέση της σε μια πιο ήρεμη και συνειδητή καθημερινότητα. Κάθε συνεδρία αποτελεί μια ευκαιρία να ακουστεί η δική σας αλήθεια και να ξεκινήσει μια ουσιαστική συνομιλία με τον εαυτό σας.

Έχει εκπαιδευτεί στη Γνωσιακή Συμπεριφορική Θεραπεία (CBT) και στην Art Therapy, καθώς και σε πρωτόκολλα παρέμβασης σε τραύμα και ψυχολογική παρέμβαση σε κρίση. Στην πορεία της καριέρας της έχει εργαστεί σε διαφορετικά περιβάλλοντα ψυχικής υγείας στην Ελλάδα (Παιδικά Χωριά SOS, Ελληνικός Ερυθρός Σταυρός) και στο εξωτερικό, υποστηρίζοντας κυρίως ευάλωτες ομάδες. Σήμερα διατηρεί ιδιωτικό γραφείο στο κέντρο της Αθήνας και εργάζεται στο Ελληνικό Συμβούλιο για τους Πρόσφυγες, αναλαμβάνοντας την ψυχολογική στήριξη παιδιών, εφήβων και γονέων. Εξειδικεύεται στη διαχείριση άγχους, κατάθλιψης, μετατραυματικού στρες, πένθους, φοβιών, κακοποίησης και δυσκολιών στις διαπροσωπικές σχέσεις. Παράλληλα, έχει εμπειρία στη διάγνωση ψυχοπαθολογίας και στη χρήση ψυχομετρικών εργαλείων, προσφέροντας εξατομικευμένες παρεμβάσεις με σεβασμό στις ανάγκες του κάθε ατόμου. Στη θεραπευτική της προσέγγισης αξιοποιεί κυρίως τη Γνωσιακή Συμπεριφορική Θεραπεία (CBT), μια επιστημονικά τεκμηριωμένη μέθοδο που βοηθά το άτομο να αναγνωρίσει και να τροποποιήσει τις σκέψεις και τα μοτίβα συμπεριφοράς που ενισχύουν τη δυσφορία του.

Η δημιουργία γίνεται ένα ασφαλές “κανάλι” έκφρασης συναισθημάτων, αναμνήσεων και εσωτερικών συγκρούσεων, χωρίς τη χρήση λόγου. Δεν ακολουθεί μία αυστηρή “συνταγή”. Κάθε άνθρωπος είναι μοναδικός, και κάθε συνεδρία προσαρμόζεται στις ανάγκες του - με σεβασμό στον ρυθμό του, στην ιστορία του και στις αντοχές του. Οταν δουλεύει με παιδιά, δίνει ιδιαίτερη σημασία στη συνεργασία με τους γονείς. Ο στόχος δεν είναι μόνο η “αντιμετώπιση” μιας δυσκολίας, αλλά η ενδυνάμωση της σχέσης γονιού - παιδιού, ώστε το ίδιο το σπίτι να γίνει χώρος θεραπείας, εμπιστοσύνης και ανάπτυξης. Τέλος, προσφέρει συνεδρίες και στα αραβικά και στα τσεχικά.
