About Dawn
Dawn Roberts is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Florida with four years of professional experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, trauma and abuse, depression, and codependency among other challenges. She also supports people dealing with addiction, grief, sleep struggles, parenting strain, and career stress.
Dawn uses straightforward conversations to help people notice what is getting in the way of feeling more steady. She treats clients as the experts on their own lives and focuses on practical steps they can try between sessions. Sessions are focused on skills, values, and choices rather than on labels or promises of a quick fix.
Her approach draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Client-Centered methods to help people clarify what matters to them and make small behavior changes. She also uses elements from Dialectical Behavior Therapy and Motivational Interviewing when those fit a person’s goals. These approaches are described and chosen together in session.
Dawn has supported people with a wide range of life stresses, including abandonment concerns, blended family issues, chronic illness, dissociation, domestic violence, and substance use. She pays attention to patterns such as people-pleasing, trouble saying no, and losing a sense of self in relationships. Her work often involves learning concrete boundary and coping skills.
People who meet with Dawn usually complete a short questionnaire first and then schedule a first session. The cost of sessions varies with location and uses a subscription model that can be canceled at any time. Sessions are conducted in English and international clients are not accepted.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify their values and take small, meaningful actions even when emotions are uncomfortable. It can help with anxiety, codependency patterns, and life changes by focusing on what matters most. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and emphasizes practical exercises to shift unhelpful patterns. It is useful for anxiety, depression, and sleep problems. Client-Centered Therapy centers the person's perspective and aims to create a collaborative, respectful conversation that supports decision making and self-directed change.Deciding which approach to use is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the client about their goals and preferences and recommend a mix of methods when that fits. That collaborative process helps match techniques to what the person actually needs and wants to try.
The original biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm the available online options before booking. In general, online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow for shorter check-ins when life is hectic, and remove the need to travel. Many people find that practicing skills between sessions is simpler when appointments can be scheduled around work, caregiving, or medical needs. Licensed professionals can adapt exercises and homework for remote sessions so therapy can fit daily routines without promising any particular outcome.
