About Dawn
Dawn Roberts is a licensed clinical social worker in Florida who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strain, trauma, and parenting challenges. She meets people where they are and focuses on practical steps to make daily life feel more manageable. Dawn believes people bring strengths that can be used to move through hard times.
Dawn keeps sessions direct and person-centered. She listens first, then helps clients set small, achievable goals.
Background and approach
Sessions often include talking through current problems, practicing new ways to handle strong feelings, and planning simple behavioral changes that fit into busy family life. Her work draws on several approaches that aim to change unhelpful patterns and build coping skills. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect.
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people accept hard emotions while moving toward the life they value. Dialectical Behavior Therapy and Motivational Interviewing add skills for emotion regulation and strengthening motivation. Dawn has four years of professional experience as an LCSW.
She has supported people with grief, addiction concerns, sleep problems, codependency, caregiver stress, chronic illness, body image, and issues tied to adoption or blended families. She also works with people navigating divorce, separation, or recovery from domestic violence. Sessions are offered in English and delivered online by video, phone, live chat, or text messaging.
Cost varies with location and uses a subscription that can be canceled at any time. To begin, a person selects Start Therapy, completes a short matching questionnaire, and schedules based on availability.

Approaches that guide online parenting and stress work
Dawn commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in her online work. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult feelings without getting stuck in them, and then take steps toward what matters most in their life. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing small behavior changes to reduce anxiety, improve sleep, or change patterns that fuel depression.She approaches treatment collaboratively. Clients and the therapist review goals, try different techniques, and adjust the plan together. Finding the right mix of skills and therapy style is part of the process, not a one-time decision, and Dawn will help tailor the approach to each person's needs and preferences.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, and text-based messaging to provide flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation for skill practice and problem solving. Phone sessions can work when bandwidth is limited or when a shorter check-in fits a busy day. Live chat and text-based messaging can be useful for brief updates, ongoing support between sessions, or when writing helps someone process thoughts. These options make it easier to fit therapy into parenting schedules and daily life.
