About Dwanne

Dwanne Clayton is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Florida who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strain, and anger. She brings five years of direct therapy experience and aims to create a supportive space for people working through life changes. Her approach is practical and goal-focused, and she encourages clients to use their own strengths to move forward.

Dwanne views each person as the expert on their own story. She uses solution-oriented strategies to help people find clearer choices and manageable steps. Sessions focus on understanding what matters to the client and building tools to handle daily stresses, low mood, and relationship concerns.

Her work covers a broad set of concerns, including grief, trauma and abuse, intimacy-related issues, sleep problems, parenting stress, compassion fatigue, ADHD, and career challenges. She also addresses more specific issues such as abandonment, adoption and foster care matters, attachment concerns, body image, blended family dynamics, and kink-positive topics in a nonjudgmental way.

Dwanne draws on several therapeutic approaches, including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT), Client-Centered Therapy, and Mindfulness Therapy. These methods are used to help people notice patterns, shift unhelpful thoughts, and build more satisfying relationships and routines.

She asks new clients to select the Start Therapy button, complete a short matching questionnaire, and schedule sessions according to therapist availability. Sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time.

Therapeutic approaches and how they work online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that match their values. It is useful for anxiety, stress, and making life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing thinking and behavior patterns that keep problems going, which often helps with low mood, worry, and sleep problems. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) targets patterns in close relationships and can help when intimacy or connection feels stuck.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss your goals, preferences, and what has or hasn't worked before. Together you will try methods that fit your situation and adjust the plan as needed so sessions stay practical and relevant.

Confirm current session formats before booking, as the profile does not list specific options. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into busy routines, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. It also lets people use quieter surroundings or choose audio-only meetings if that works better for them. Ask about available formats when you schedule so you know how to plan sessions into your day.
