Dawneisha Spratley, LPC - Therapist in Pennsylvania

About Dawneisha

Dawneisha Spratley is a Licensed Professional Counselor with two decades of experience as a psychotherapist. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, and a wide range of life challenges. Her manner is warm and respectful and she focuses on practical steps people can use at home and in daily life.

She uses therapies that combine thinking, feeling, and relationships to guide change. Cognitive behavioral techniques help people notice and shift unhelpful thoughts.

Background and approach

Attachment-based ideas look at how early relationships shape current patterns. Client-centered work keeps the conversation focused on each person’s values and goals. Over 20 years she has supported individuals through parenting struggles, relationship conflict, grief, substance concerns, and career stress.

She has also worked with issues such as ADHD, impulse control, body image, adoption and foster care questions, and compassion fatigue. Her experience includes helping people who survived physical or emotional abuse. Sessions are practical and tailored.

Dawneisha listens first, then helps set clear, achievable steps. She encourages small changes that build confidence and reduce overwhelm. She holds Pennsylvania and New Jersey licensure as a Licensed Professional Counselor - PA LPC PC007907 and NJ LPC 37PC00913400.

Sessions are offered in English and arranged to fit each person’s schedule. To begin, a short matching questionnaire and scheduling step connects people to therapy.

Therapeutic approaches and online care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters most to them and take small, committed steps toward those values. It can be useful for anxiety, stress, and life transitions because it focuses on action rather than perfect control. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current patterns and helps people develop new ways of relating and feeling safer in connection. Client-Centered Therapy centers the conversation on the person’s experience, using empathy and acceptance to help people find their own solutions.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about needs, goals, and preferences, and then shape the plan together. That collaborative process allows adjustments over time so the method serves real progress rather than fitting a fixed label.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls let conversations feel close while keeping travel time low. Phone sessions provide an accessible option when video isn't possible, and live chat or text-based messaging can support check-ins and brief coaching between sessions. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and to maintain continuity when life gets in the way.

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.

Attachment-Based Therapy

Looks at how early bonds shaped what you expect from closeness, and how that plays out now with a partner, a parent, or your own children.

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.
