Dawn Roberts, LCSW - Therapist in Florida

About Dawn

Dawn Roberts is a licensed clinical social worker in Florida who supports people facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strain, and parenting challenges. She also helps with trauma and abuse, addictions, grief, intimacy concerns, and issues around self-esteem and motivation. Dawn writes plainly and listens closely so parents can explain their situation without pressure.

She approaches work with a belief that each person knows their own story and brings strengths to change.

Background and approach

Sessions focus on clear, doable steps rather than long talks that go nowhere. Dawn aims to help clients build skills that reduce overwhelm and make daily life more manageable. Her style draws from practical therapies like cognitive behavioral techniques and client-centered support.

That means she helps people notice unhelpful thoughts, try small behavior changes, and decides goals together with the client. She also uses strategies from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people accept hard feelings and commit to values-based steps. Dawn’s background includes four years of professional experience and the LCSW credential, which stands for Licensed Clinical Social Worker.

She practices in Florida and offers sessions in English. Her work includes additional focus areas such as blended family issues, adoption and foster care concerns, caregiver stress, chronic illness, codependency, and substance addiction. In sessions clients can expect straightforward aims, practical tools, and a supportive tone.

Dawn encourages people to take small, steady steps and to use their own strengths as the foundation for change.

Approaches that translate to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps clients notice painful thoughts and feelings without getting stuck, then choose actions that match their values. It is useful for anxiety, depression, grief, and situations that feel overwhelming. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on understanding the person’s experience and building a trusting relationship. The therapist listens, reflects, and helps people find their own solutions, which can be especially helpful when sorting through family and parenting stress. Finding the right approach is a shared process. Dawn will talk with each person about goals and preferences and then try methods that fit those needs. Therapy can shift over time if something else seems more helpful. Online sessions make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life. Video calls allow face-to-face work, phone sessions are useful on the go, and live chat or text-based messaging can help when quick support or more frequent check-ins are needed. These options give flexibility so people can focus on progress without added travel time.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)

Less about arguing with difficult thoughts, more about loosening their grip and acting on what matters to you anyway. Values and committed action carry the work, which suits conversation at a distance.

Client-Centered Therapy

The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.
