About Ethel
Ethel "Dawn" Capone is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Pennsylvania with 28 years of experience. She helps people manage anger along with stress, anxiety, depression, parenting challenges, trauma and many other concerns. She works with adults who want clearer strategies for daily life and relationships.
Dawn starts by building practical trust and straightforward communication. She explains options, listens, and focuses on what people actually do between sessions. Sessions are conversational and goal-minded, not full of jargon. She aims to help clients move from feeling stuck to having workable steps they can try at home.
Her approach draws on methods that emphasize acceptance, present-moment awareness, and changing unhelpful thinking and behavior. That can look like practicing specific coping skills, learning ways to notice strong feelings earlier, and experimenting with new responses when anger shows up. Motivational interviewing is used when clients want help with change that feels difficult to start.
Dawn uses client-centered practices to keep sessions grounded in each person's values and priorities. She helps people focus on what matters most to them and then builds practical plans around those goals. Progress is tracked in simple, concrete ways so the work stays relevant to daily life.
She is based in Pennsylvania and offers services in English. International clients are accepted. If someone is unsure how to begin, she asks straightforward questions and helps choose reasonable first steps.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting pushed around by them, then identify values-driven actions to try. It is useful when anger comes from avoiding or fighting painful emotions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and behavior and teaches practical skills to change patterns that lead to angry reactions. It often includes short behavioral experiments and thought-checking exercises.Finding the best approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, what has or hasn’t worked before, and personal preferences. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust the plan as progress is seen or new challenges appear.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit work into a busy day, cut out travel time, or do shorter check-ins when that helps maintain momentum. They also allow clients to keep work focused on practical skills, homework, and real-life application while working around schedules and location differences.
