Background and approach
Her background includes five years providing clinical therapy in Florida. She holds LCSW and CSW credentials and works with a wide range of concerns including grief, trauma and intimacy-related issues. She also supports people dealing with sleeping problems, parenting strain, career stress, and compassion fatigue.
Therapeutic methods include acceptance and commitment techniques, cognitive behavioral ideas, client-centered skills, emotionally-focused work, and mindfulness tools. These methods are used to teach coping skills, shift unhelpful thinking, and improve emotional connection in relationships. Dwanne aims to help clients find practical steps forward when life feels overwhelming.
She works with each person to set realistic goals and to build routines that support lasting change. Taking the first step can feel hard, and she frames the work as a steady, supportive process.
How Dwanne uses therapy approaches online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing thoughts and values-based action. It helps people with anxiety and stress by teaching how to make room for difficult thoughts while moving toward meaningful goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and provides concrete skills for changing unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening, empathy, and supporting the client’s own direction in therapy so people can explore issues at their own pace.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Dwanne will work with each person to identify goals, try techniques, and adjust methods based on what feels most helpful. She blends approaches when that serves the client’s needs and preferences, and checks in regularly to see what is working.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and nonverbal cues. Phone sessions can be a good fit when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and messaging let clients send thoughts between sessions or have brief, focused exchanges during the week. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, caregiving, or travel schedules while still working toward the client’s goals.
