About Dwanne
Dwanne Clayton is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who provides practical, family-focused support for adults navigating stress, anxiety, relationships, and parenting challenges. She is based in Florida and offers care in English. Her work centers on helping people notice what’s getting in the way and try different ways to respond that fit their life.
She uses straightforward, problem-solving methods that aim to build small habits and clearer communication. Sessions often focus on immediate concerns like sleep, mood, or family conflict, and on steps an individual can take between meetings.
Background and approach
Dwanne draws on approaches such as cognitive behavioral techniques and mindfulness to help people manage thoughts and emotions. She also uses client-centered listening to understand each person’s priorities. Her background includes five years of clinical therapy experience and licensure as an LCSW and CSW.
The credentials listed are FL LCSW SW20823 and GA LCSW CSW009063. That training informs her work with issues ranging from depression and grief to intimacy and compassion fatigue. Dwanne also supports people dealing with adoption and foster care concerns, blended family transitions, attachment issues, caregiving stress, and body image or sexual expression matters.
She looks for practical ways to reduce conflict and improve family functioning. When someone decides to begin, she asks about goals and current struggles and then helps shape a plan. Therapy uses a subscription model that can be canceled at any time and is offered by video calls, phone, live chat, or text messaging.
Getting started requires completing a short matching questionnaire and scheduling according to therapist availability.
Therapeutic approaches and online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts without letting them control behavior and then choose actions that match personal values. It can be useful for stress, anxiety, and big life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting thought patterns that worsen mood or conflict and practicing new ways of thinking and acting to feel better. It often helps with sleep, low mood, and anxiety. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes understanding each person’s experience through focused listening, which supports clearer goals and stronger motivation.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t worked before. From there she will suggest methods to try and adjust the plan as needed so the work fits daily life.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversations from home, phone sessions can work for tight schedules, and live chat or text messaging supports shorter check-ins or between-session touchpoints. These options make it easier to fit therapy around family life and other commitments while maintaining continuity of care.
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.
