About Dwanne

Dwanne Clayton is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in Florida who works with adults facing stress, anxiety, relationship struggles, grief, and life changes. She also supports people dealing with depression, self-esteem concerns, parenting strain, ADHD, and compassion fatigue. Her style centers on practical steps to help clients feel more capable and confident.

She frames therapy as collaborative work that builds on each person's strengths. Sessions focus on problem solving, coping skills, and clearer communication. Dwanne encourages clients to set concrete goals and practice small changes between meetings.

Her background includes five years providing therapy and broader professional experience in social work. She lists Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT), and Mindfulness Therapy among approaches she uses. These tools are applied to common concerns like trauma, intimacy issues, sleep problems, and caregiver stress.

Dwanne aims to help people manage distress and discover practical ways forward after loss or major transitions. She emphasizes understanding what matters to each client and working toward meaningful change. Sessions are geared toward everyday improvements rather than technical jargon.

If someone is ready to begin, she asks prospective clients to select the Start Therapy button and complete a short matching questionnaire. Scheduling then follows based on therapist availability and the site's process.

How therapy approaches shape online support

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, focuses on helping people notice what matters to them and take steps toward those values even when feelings are hard to face. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and coping with life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns. CBT is commonly used for anxiety, sleep problems, and mood difficulties. Client-Centered Therapy centers the person's experience and priorities, encouraging self-directed growth through listening and reflection; it can help when people need a supportive space to process grief or relationship strain.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about goals and preferences and then try methods that fit those needs. That collaborative process means techniques may be blended or adjusted over time to better match what helps.
