More about Dawn

  • 10 years' experience
  • Female
  • LMHC

I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor in Florida with over 15 years of experience working as a counselor, play therapist, and counselor educator. I enjoy working one on one with clients who have a variety of typical problems throughout life including returning student issues, stress and anxiety, depression, transitional periods in life, parenting and family issues.

My counseling style is warm, interactive, creative, and humanistic. I use client-centered values such as empathy, unconditional positive regard, and genuineness to support clients. In addition, sometimes a more direct approach is needed to help them and I find Adlerian, solution-focused brief therapy, and cognitive-behavioral approaches beneficial to guide the clients to making progress in their lives. I am a Registered Play Therapist and do enjoy incorporating playful and creative modalities in my counseling approach when possible. I am wiling to work with you where you are at and tailor my approach when necessary and appropriate to help you meet your goals.

I recognize the courage it takes to make the first step to seek help and make a change in your life. I would be honored to be a part of your journey in improving your overall mental health.

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.
