About Dwanne
Dwanne Clayton is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in Florida who helps people manage stress, anxiety, anger, depression, relationship strain, and other life challenges. She draws on five years of direct therapy experience to support practical change and clearer thinking. Dwanne emphasizes simple, solution-focused work.
She listens first, helps clients identify small steps, and uses straightforward strategies to build confidence and motivation. Sessions aim to make daily life easier and more manageable, not to overwhelm with jargon.
Background and approach
Her approach brings together several practical methods. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps people notice and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy supports making values-based choices while tolerating difficult feelings.
Client-centered and mindfulness techniques are used to strengthen self-awareness and emotional balance. Dwanne has worked with people facing grief, trauma and abuse, parenting stress, intimacy issues, sleep problems, career concerns, ADHD, and caregiving strain. She also supports those navigating identity and relationship questions, including LGBT-related concerns and blended family dynamics.
Her practice includes additional focus on abandonment, adoption and foster care, and body image issues. She offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text messaging to fit different schedules. Sessions are provided in English and follow regional licensure for Florida.
To begin, a person completes a short matching questionnaire and schedules according to therapist availability.

How therapy approaches adapt to online care
Dwanne uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people spot unhelpful thoughts and experiment with new behaviors, which works well in structured online sessions and brief skill-building exercises. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy is also part of her work - it focuses on identifying personal values and taking committed steps toward them even when emotions are difficult. Client-centered and mindfulness techniques are woven into sessions to increase self-awareness and calm.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals and preferences, try methods that fit the issue, and adjust the plan as progress is seen. Clients are invited to share what helps and what doesn’t so the work stays practical and relevant.
Online sessions offer real flexibility. Video calls let people use visual cues and have longer conversations. Phone sessions can be easier when video is inconvenient or bandwidth is low. Live chat and text-based messaging support quick check-ins, ongoing coaching, and shorter reflections between longer sessions. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into work, caregiving, or busy schedules while keeping a steady path toward change.
