Dawn Roberts, LCSW

Dawn Roberts is a licensed clinical social worker in Florida who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strain, and trauma. She supports those coping with life changes, grief, addiction, and concerns around intimacy, self-esteem, or parenting. Dawn speaks English and brings four years of professional experience to her work.

Dawn centers sessions on what each person brings to therapy. She treats clients as the expert on their own story and looks for strengths to build on. Conversations are practical, focused on small steps that make a difference in day-to-day life.

Her approach draws on cognitive behavioral techniques and acceptance and commitment ideas to help people notice patterns and try new ways of responding. She also uses client-centered listening and dialectical skills to manage strong emotions. Motivational interviewing supports change when people feel stuck.

In sessions Dawn works collaboratively to set clear goals and track progress. She helps people develop coping skills for panic, low mood, anger, sleep trouble, and substance-related difficulties. She also addresses issues tied to adoption, blended-family dynamics, caregiver stress, and chronic illness.

Therapy is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Costs vary by location and use a subscription that can be canceled at any time. To begin, a prospective client completes a short matching questionnaire and schedules according to the therapist's availability.

How CBT, ACT, and Client-Centered Work Online

CBT, or cognitive behavioral therapy, focuses on identifying thought and behavior patterns that contribute to stress and mood problems. Online CBT often uses brief exercises, thought records, and behavioral experiments that people can practice between sessions to see what helps. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, teaches skills for noticing difficult thoughts and feelings while clarifying personal values. It can help with anxiety, depression, and coping with life changes by encouraging committed action toward what matters. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes warm, nonjudgmental listening and reflection so people feel heard and can explore their own solutions.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapy process. The therapist will work together with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. That decision can change over time as needs and priorities evolve, and sessions will be adapted accordingly.

Online sessions are offered by licensed professionals using video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video calls are useful for face-to-face conversation and practicing skills in real time. Phone sessions can be easier when video isn't possible or when bandwidth is low. Live chat and text-based messaging can provide quick check-ins, shorter focused work, or an option for people who prefer typed communication.
