About Dawn
Dawn Roberts, Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Florida, has four years of clinical experience. She works with stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, trauma and abuse, depression, addictions, LGBT matters, family issues, grief, intimacy concerns, sleep problems, parenting strain, anger, self-esteem, career challenges, and bipolar disorder. Her approach uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and Motivational Interviewing. Dawn frames clients as the experts on their own stories and focuses on practical steps they can take to manage problems.
Dawn uses plain conversation to identify what matters most to each person. She helps people notice patterns, try small behavior changes, and practice skills between sessions. Sessions include goal-setting and skill work drawn from CBT and DBT when useful. Motivational Interviewing supports changes around substance use and other behaviors.
She also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people clarify values and commit to actions that fit those values. Client-Centered Therapy guides the way she listens and responds. Dawn emphasizes strengths and past successes as tools for working through current struggles.
Dawn has experience addressing adoption and foster care issues, abandonment, blended family concerns, body image, caregiver stress, chronic illness and pain, co-morbidity, codependency, commitment and control issues, dependent personality features, dissociation, divorce and separation, domestic violence, and drug and alcohol addiction. She works with a wide range of life changes and relationship challenges.

Therapeutic approaches used in remote sessions
Dawn uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people spot unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviors; this approach often helps with anxiety, depression, sleep, and stress. She draws on Dialectical Behavior Therapy for teaching concrete coping skills like emotion regulation and distress tolerance, which can be useful for intense emotions and relationship clashes.She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to clarify values and encourage committed action, a fit for people facing life changes or chronic problems. Finding the best approach is part of the work. Dawn will collaborate with each person to choose and adjust methods based on their needs, goals, and preferences.
Confirm session formats before booking since specific formats are not listed in her biography. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, for example allowing sessions during a lunch break or avoiding travel time. It can also let people use shorter check-ins or choose not to use video when that better suits their needs. Licensed professionals and therapists often adapt materials and exercises for remote sessions so skill practice and goal-setting remain practical and usable.
