About Dwanne
Dwanne Clayton is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in Florida who focuses on practical help for parents and adults feeling overwhelmed. She uses straightforward, solution-minded work to address stress, anxiety, relationship struggles, low self-esteem, grief, trauma, and parenting challenges. Her style is down-to-earth and goal-focused for people who want clearer direction and calmer days.
She brings five years of direct therapy experience and broader social work background to sessions.
Background and approach
Dwanne centers the client's perspective and strengths, helping people identify steps they can try between meetings. Conversations are aimed at real-life changes such as calmer communication, improved sleep habits, or managing intense emotions. Her approach mixes techniques from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, and client-centered work.
That means practical skills for changing unhelpful thinking, clarifying personal values, and making decisions that feel right. She also uses mindfulness and emotionally-focused ideas to support stress reduction and closer relationships. Dwanne works with many concerns including parenting strain, relationship conflict, compassion fatigue, career stress, ADHD-related coping, and mood challenges like depression or bipolar mood management.
She also addresses specific topics such as adoption and foster care, abandonment, blended family issues, body image, and intimacy-related concerns. Sessions are offered via video, phone, live chat, or text messaging. To begin, a person chooses the Start Therapy button, completes a short matching questionnaire, and schedules according to therapist availability.
Costs vary by location and use a subscription that can be canceled at any time.

Approach-focused care delivered online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters most to them and take small steps toward those values. It often helps with anxiety, depression, parenting stress, and coping with life changes by teaching acceptance of difficult feelings alongside committed action. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at patterns of thinking and behavior and teaches concrete tools to shift unhelpful thoughts and build new routines for sleep, mood, and relationships. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening, empathy, and the person's own goals so sessions feel collaborative and grounded in what the person wants to change.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and adjust methods as needed. That makes therapy a team effort where the focus and pace are set together rather than applied the same way to everyone.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text messaging to fit different lifestyles. Video lets people work face-to-face when deeper conversation is needed. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can fit into a work break. Live chat and text messaging are useful for brief check-ins, homework support, or when writing feels easier than speaking. These options aim to make it simpler to attend regularly and try new skills between meetings.
