About Dawn

Dawn Roberts is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, licensed in Florida with four years of professional experience. She helps people manage stress, anxiety, relationship and family concerns, trauma and abuse, depression, and problems with motivation and self-esteem. Her work also covers grief, addiction, sleep problems, anger, career concerns, and intimacy-related issues.

Dawn uses practical, goal-oriented approaches to reduce unhelpful thoughts and habits. She relies on methods such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to break down problems into manageable steps. Sessions include concrete skills practice, behavior changes, and short-term goal planning that clients can try between meetings.

Her style is collaborative and straightforward. She listens to each person’s story and helps identify strengths to build on. The focus is on what people can do now to feel better and regain control over daily life.

Dawn also brings elements of Client-Centered Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and Motivational Interviewing to address motivation, emotional regulation, and decision-making. These approaches support work on co-occurring issues like chronic pain, codependency, and substance use without adding extra labels or jargon.

People who choose Dawn can expect clear, step-by-step sessions that emphasize practical coping strategies. To begin, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session through the online options button. Session costs vary by location and use a cancellable subscription model.

How her approaches translate to online work

Dawn commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy in her practice. CBT involves noticing and testing unhelpful thoughts and practicing new behaviors to reduce symptoms like anxiety and depression. ACT focuses on identifying personal values and taking committed actions that align with those values, which can help with motivation, avoidance, and coping with difficult emotions.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. She will work together with clients to decide which methods fit best based on current problems, goals, and preferences. That collaboration means plans can change as people try different techniques and see what helps most.

Session formats are not specified in her biography, so confirm the current online session options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Many people find it simpler to practice skills between meetings when sessions happen remotely, and therapists can assign concrete exercises and follow-up tasks that work with clients' daily routines.
