About Dawn
Dawn Willey is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Florida with 20 years of experience. She works with adults on common struggles such as stress, anxiety, depression, grief, relationship and family concerns, parenting challenges, and anger. She also supports people facing addictions, ADHD, career issues, and coping with major life changes.
Dawn uses straightforward, practical guidance in sessions. She listens and then offers tools that people can use right away. She expects clients to take an active role and follows up with concrete feedback to help build new habits.
Her approach draws on client-centered work that treats the person as the expert in their life, cognitive behavioral tools to shift unhelpful thinking and behavior, and mindfulness methods to help manage strong feelings. She also uses motivational interviewing to support change and narrative techniques to reframe difficult stories.
Dawn has worked in many settings with a wide range of people over two decades. That experience informs her focus on realistic steps and measurable progress rather than abstract talk. Sessions aim to reduce immediate distress while building skills for longer term stability.
She offers counseling in English and accepts clients from outside the United States. Before scheduling, clients should confirm current session formats and the subscription terms that apply to payments.
Therapeutic approaches used in remote sessions
Dawn uses client-centered therapy to focus on the client’s own goals and perspectives. This approach means the therapist listens first and follows the client’s lead in identifying priorities and strengths.She also uses cognitive behavioral therapy, which looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions. CBT provides practical exercises to change thinking patterns and behaviors that feed anger, anxiety, or depression.
Mindfulness therapy is part of her work as well, teaching simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and increase awareness of emotions in the moment.
Choosing the right approach is part of the process. The therapist collaborates with each person to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That decision can shift over time as new challenges or goals emerge.
