About Dwanne
Dwanne Clayton is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Florida with five years of direct therapy experience. She works with adults on stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and family concerns, self-esteem, parenting challenges, anger, grief, and a range of life changes. Sessions are conducted in English and she does not accept international clients.
She uses practical, solution-focused work to help people move past what holds them back. Expect straightforward conversation about current problems and small, doable steps to change patterns that cause frustration or resentment. She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and commit to values-based action.
Client-Centered Therapy informs her approach to listening and reflecting, while Emotionally-Focused Therapy techniques are used when relationships are the main concern. Mindfulness practices are introduced to help with stress, sleep, and moment-to-moment emotional regulation. Sessions combine talking, simple exercises, and homework you can try between appointments.
Her background includes work across many related concerns such as ADHD, trauma and abuse, LGBT issues, caregiving stress, attachment and abandonment concerns, body image, and intimacy-related issues. She also supports people dealing with career stress, compassion fatigue, and the complexities of blended families and adoption and foster care dynamics.
Getting started involves completing a short matching questionnaire and scheduling a first session. Costs vary by location and sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time. Confirm current session options before booking.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) encourages noticing unhelpful thoughts and choosing actions that align with personal values. It is useful when anger connects to ongoing life choices or avoidance patterns.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying thought patterns and behaviors that escalate anger and testing small behavior changes. It is practical for workplace frustration, snapping at loved ones, and sleep or stress-related problems.
Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and reflection to help people feel understood and to explore what matters to them. This approach supports clearer communication in relationships and parenting concerns.
Finding the best approach is collaborative. The therapist will talk through goals and try techniques that fit the client's preferences and situation. Plans may shift as progress and new needs emerge.
Confirm the specific session formats before booking, since formats are not listed in the biography. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into busy days, allow shorter check-ins when time is tight, and let a person choose sessions that match their energy level, such as those with less on-camera time. These practical benefits help people keep therapy consistent alongside work, family, and other responsibilities.
