About Dawn
Dawn Willey is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in Florida with 20 years of experience. She helps people manage stress, anxiety, grief, low self-esteem, depression, life changes, addictions, relationship and family difficulties, trauma, intimacy issues, sleep and eating problems, parenting challenges, anger, career concerns, bipolar disorder, ADHD, and compassion fatigue.
Her approach is practical and direct. She listens, asks clear questions, and helps clients identify steps they can try between sessions. Sessions focus on what is happening now and what can change. Dawn uses evidence-informed methods such as client-centered techniques, cognitive behavioral ideas, mindfulness, motivational interviewing, and narrative work to guide the process.
Clients can expect straightforward feedback and collaborative planning. She encourages active participation and offers concrete strategies for coping, problem solving, and communication. Discussions include patterns that keep problems going and small experiments to test new ways of responding.
Dawn has worked in many settings over two decades, supporting people across the lifespan in outpatient and community environments. That background informs an ability to shift tone and pace depending on whether someone needs coaching, focused symptom work, or longer-term reflection.
She accepts English-speaking clients and works with people inside and outside the United States. Before booking, readers should confirm current session options and formats to match their needs.
BHow sessions work
How therapeutic approaches translate to online work
Dawn commonly uses client-centered work and cognitive behavioral ideas in sessions. Client-centered work focuses on listening carefully, reflecting what matters to the client, and shaping sessions around their goals and priorities. Cognitive behavioral approaches look at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and use practical exercises to change patterns that cause distress.She also draws on mindfulness techniques to help people notice bodily and mental reactions, and on motivational interviewing to support readiness for change without pressure. Mindfulness helps with stress, sleep, and emotional regulation. Motivational interviewing is useful for addressing addictions, ambivalence, and behavior change.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Dawn will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or has not worked before. Together they will try methods that fit the person’s needs and adjust as progress is made.
Confirm the session formats available before booking since formats are not specified here. Online work can reduce travel time and make scheduling easier around work, caregiving, or health needs. It also allows for shorter check-ins or longer weekly sessions depending on what fits a client's routine.
