About Dawn
Dawn Willey is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Florida with 20 years of experience. She works with adults on stress, anxiety, grief, self-esteem, depression, coping with life changes, addictions, relationship and family concerns, and related issues such as intimacy and parenting.
She uses straightforward, practical methods in sessions. Dawn emphasizes collaboration and sees the client as the expert in their life. Conversations focus on clarifying problems, setting goals, and practicing skills that make daily life more manageable.
Her background includes long-term clinical work across varied settings. That experience informs a flexible approach that blends client-centered listening with action-oriented techniques. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and motivational interviewing are part of the toolkit Dawn draws on to help people change patterns of thinking and behavior.
Mindfulness and narrative work are used to help clients notice habits and reframe painful stories from the past. These approaches can be helpful for family-of-origin patterns that continue to affect adult relationships and choices.
Dawn aims to give practical feedback, hold people accountable for agreed steps, and support changes that fit each person’s life. She asks questions, offers perspectives, and helps build small, achievable steps toward better coping and clearer decisions.
How therapeutic approaches are used in online sessions
Dawn commonly integrates Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Mindfulness Therapy in her work. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and understanding the client’s perspective so the client can identify goals and next steps. CBT looks at thought patterns and behaviors and teaches practical skills to reduce anxiety, depression, and unhelpful habits. Mindfulness Therapy introduces simple practices to help notice thoughts and bodily reactions and to respond more clearly to stressors.Choosing the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Dawn collaborates with each person to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That collaborative decision is revisited over time as goals change or new challenges appear.
