Howdy there. I am Dawn Billings and I am a licensed psychotherapist with the state of Florida since 2008. I have formulated a therapeutic approach that is practical, realistic, empathetic and caring. I want to help you become the best YOU possible.
I view each of my clients as individuals. I tailor your treatment plan specific to you and your needs. I aspire to offer comprehensive services with diversity to any individual regardless of race, color, age, nationality, sex , gender identification, disability, religion, political belief, marital status, or sexual orientation. My objective is to help you identify your challenges and help to collaborate to set a realistic, practical treatment plan based on those needs.
Unfortunately in today's society therapy sometimes has a negative connotation. We are all human and we all have problems. I commend you for reaching out for some assistance and look forward to seeing the positive results and growth of this journey together. Just so you know I do not have Better Help hours on Sunday's or Wednesday's except by appointment, but I will communicate with you on the other days. Thank you!!
Take Care,
Dawn

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space. Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.

Dr. Bilings helped me a lot with my problems and changed my way of thinking on some topics. I highly recommend her!
I have problems with being open, but my therapist Dr. Dawn Billings never stops trying to break down those walls. I've been through plenty of therapists, but I finally found my match. To the credit of BetterHelp, this organization mantched me with her based off a pretty simple questionnaire. 10/10, would recommend.
Dr. Billings has been incredible for my Fiancé and I. She listens and challenges us when she sees an opportunity to. She’s verify flexible to our needs and has been available on a moments notice. Thank you for all you’ve done and continue to do, Dawn!
Dr. Bilings is so compassionate and encourages me to take healthy and proactive actions towards bettering myself and the environment around me. I’m in a much better place thanks to her.
It's truly hard to quantify how much Dr. Billings has helped me over the past half a year a change. But it is easy to say that her help has been life changing. I really needed someone to listen and show me a new perspective so that I could realize life wasn't hopeless, I wasn't crazy and I could change things for the better. And I have.
Dr. Bilings Has a kind heart and spirit. she’s a person that you can talk to all day long . She understands what you going through and try to provide her expertise to help you.
Dr. Bilings is very empathetic and professional. She listens and allows me time to sit with my thoughts. She’s been super helpful during this pandemic.
Dr. Billings has been amazing. I was really afraid of being judged for what's going on in my life but she has really helped me gain perspective and see the mistaken ideas that were holding me back. I can't thank her enough and I don't know how I would have made it through this time without her perspective.
Dr.Bilings is kind and gentle. It’s nice to talk to her.
Dawn is incredible! Very kind, thoughtful, and truly listens. She is real with you but does not judge and I feel safe talking to her. She has helped me personally in all areas I was struggling in. Which is what I was hopeful for, but I did not expect the ripple effect it would have on my family. My husband and I have never been happier! Dawn cares so much and is loaded with material, advice, and exercises to change the way you think and pull you out of your pit. I feel like a weight has been lifted off my shoulders and I have Dawn to thank. She is wonderful. The past 7 months have truly been life changing. I will never forget the impact she's had in my mental health. Thank you thank you! <3

Dawn listens well, she offers sound advice without being overbearing. She is encouraging and non judgemental, she makes me feel comfortable in conversation.
Dawn is very informative, intelligent, and kind. I would definitely recommend her!
Dawn is very caring and sensitive about the concerns I have been facing at this moment. It has been about three weeks in therapy with her and I feel a good connection with her. Her support is very valuable to me as I know she is always there to provide me with good and sound advice.
Dawn Billings is an excellent counselor, she brought me back from the brink of the worst nervous breakdown I have ever had in my life. Without her support, I know I wouldn't be where I am today, back on my feet and moving on with my life. Thank you Dawn!
Dawn has helped me recognize how my negativity is affecting my life and has countered it with her own encouraging words and helping me see the positive in myself and my life. Her sessions have been compassionate but also guided me to work through things in a logical manner so I can understand how to improve.
Dawn Bilings has been a good counselor. I have been using her as mentor type person.
