About Dawn

Dawn Roberts is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in Florida with four years of professional experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, relationship and family concerns, parenting strains, grief, substance issues, and other life changes.

Dawn focuses on clear, practical conversation. She treats the person in front of her as the expert on their own story and looks for strengths to build on. Sessions tend to center on concrete steps people can try between meetings, not long lectures or technical jargon.

Her approach draws on evidence-based tools. She uses cognitive behavioral techniques to help people spot unhelpful thinking patterns. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps clients clarify values and act in ways that matter to them. She also uses client-centered methods to keep the work grounded in the client’s experience, along with elements of dialectical behavior therapy and motivational interviewing when those fit.

Many people contact her about parenting stress, blended family challenges, adoption and foster care issues, abandonment and attachment concerns, and intimacy-related problems. She also addresses addiction, codependency, chronic illness, caregiver strain, and sleep or anger difficulties.

Dawn works in English and does not accept international clients. Costs vary by location and use a subscription that can be canceled at any time. To begin, readers are asked to select the See online therapy options button, complete a short matching questionnaire, and schedule an initial session.

How sessions work

How her clinical approaches are used in online sessions

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and take small, values-based actions. It is useful for anxiety, depression, parenting strain, and coping with life changes because it focuses on what people want their lives to look like rather than only reducing symptoms. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. It is often used for anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and anger by breaking problems into manageable steps and practicing different ways of thinking and acting. Client-Centered Therapy centers the client’s experience and aims to make conversations direct and respectful. This approach supports people who need a steady, listening-focused space while they sort through family conflict, grief, or relationship questions. Finding the right approach is part of the work. Dawn will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. She adapts tools and the pace of sessions based on what the person wants to accomplish and how they respond. Practical benefits of online sessions include fitting therapy into a busy week and removing travel time so people can use short breaks for check-ins. Because the biography does not list specific session formats, confirm the available options before booking. Many people find online meetings make it easier to attend regular sessions and try strategies between meetings without major schedule changes.
