About Dawneisha
Dawneisha Spratley is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Pennsylvania with 20 years of clinical experience. She works with people coping with stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and parenting problems, trauma and abuse, ADHD, and related concerns. She also addresses issues like substance use, self-esteem, grief, intimacy and career stresses.
Her practice focuses on practical strategies that change how people think and act day to day. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy alongside Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and attachment-informed ideas to help people notice unhelpful patterns and try new responses. Sessions tend to be direct and solution-oriented while keeping the person's values in view.
Spratley draws on several methods to fit different problems. She blends client-centered listening with emotion-focused work when relationships or grief are central. For trauma and abuse she incorporates trauma-informed techniques and practical coping tools to manage difficult memories and reactions.
She also supports people facing life transitions, caregiving stress, adoption and attachment questions, and concerns around impulsivity, codependency, or control. For those dealing with first responder stress, cancer caregiving, or blended family dynamics, she aims to identify concrete steps to reduce daily strain.
Her intake process asks about current concerns, goals, and everyday routines so sessions focus on specific, testable changes. Clients who choose to work with her complete an initial matching step and schedule a first session to begin setting practical goals.
How her approaches shape online sessions
She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people spot and test beliefs that maintain anxiety, depression, or unhelpful behavior. CBT sessions focus on clear steps, short experiments, and practical homework that can be tried between meetings.She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help clients clarify personal values and choose actions that matter, even when strong thoughts or feelings are present. Attachment-based ideas are used when relationship patterns and early connection issues are part of the problem, which often leads to work on communication and emotional regulation.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work collaboratively to match methods to a person's goals, needs, and preferences, adjusting techniques as progress is observed.
