About Dashon
Dashon Mcnelley is a licensed professional counselor who helps people manage stress, anger, anxiety, and major life changes. She works with individuals who are coping with trauma, depression, grief, addiction, and concerns about intimacy or self-esteem. Dashon focuses on practical skills people can use between sessions to handle intense emotions and day-to-day challenges.
She creates a calm, collaborative space where clients set clear goals and learn step-by-step strategies. Sessions often include talking through recent problems, practicing new ways to respond, and building simple routines that reduce overwhelm.
Background and approach
Dashon uses a mix of focused exercises and open conversation so people leave with things they can try right away. With five years of clinical experience, Dashon draws on several established approaches to tailor care to each person. She explains tools in plain language and checks in to make sure they fit the client’s life.
This makes therapy feel less like a lecture and more like problem-solving together. Dashon practices in Alabama as an LPC - Licensed Professional Counselor. She sees issues such as ADHD, relationship and family concerns, parenting stress, and body image challenges alongside mood and impulse difficulties.
Her aim is to help people gain control over reactions, rebuild confidence, and find clearer next steps. If someone prefers a hands-on, practical style, Dashon offers straightforward guidance and small, achievable goals. She emphasizes building skills for emotional regulation and healthier communication over time.

Approaches that guide online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy centers on the person and their experience. The therapist listens closely, reflects what is said, and helps clients notice their own strengths. This approach is useful for building trust and for people who want a supportive space to sort through feelings.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors interact. It uses straightforward exercises to change unhelpful thinking and to build new habits, which can help with anxiety, anger, and mood problems.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, offers concrete skills for managing intense emotions and improving relationships. It includes techniques for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and better communication, which are helpful for impulsivity and strong reactions.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk through a person’s goals and try techniques that fit day-to-day life. Together they adjust methods over time so the work stays relevant and useful.
Online sessions can be scheduled as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video calls are good for face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can fit into busy days. Live chat and text messaging make brief check-ins and homework exchanges simple between appointments. These options give flexibility for people to use the format that best fits their routines and needs.
