About Dwanne

Dwanne Clayton is a Florida-based Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) who brings five years of direct therapy experience to clients navigating stress, anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, and related life challenges.

Background and approach

She emphasizes a collaborative, strengths-focused process that recognizes each person as the expert on their own story while offering structured strategies to promote change and growth. Her work centers on helping people move through transitions and difficult circumstances by identifying practical, solution-oriented tools that support improved coping, motivation, and confidence.

Dwanne seeks to help clients uncover strengths, set clear goals, and build habits that foster a more balanced and purposeful life. She also addresses topics such as grief, trauma and abuse, intimacy-related concerns, ADHD, and compassion fatigue among other focus areas.

Clients can expect a supportive therapeutic relationship grounded in clinical approaches that include cognitive behavioral and mindfulness-informed techniques, along with acceptance and commitment and emotionally-focused principles. Dwanne aims to help individuals better understand current patterns, resolve interpersonal conflicts, and take actionable steps toward the changes they want.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Flexibility

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) is used to help clients clarify values and commit to actions that align with what matters most, while teaching skills to accept difficult thoughts and feelings rather than trying to eliminate them. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and shifting unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors through practical exercises that target anxiety, depression, and stress-related concerns. Mindfulness Therapy cultivates present-moment awareness and self-compassion, helping reduce reactivity and improve emotional regulation across a range of issues.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist works with each person to explore goals, preferences, and life circumstances then adapts techniques from these modalities to create a tailored plan. This collaborative stance helps ensure the methods used align with the client’s needs and evolve over time as progress is made.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, making it easier to fit consistent care into a busy life. These remote formats support continuity of treatment across schedules and locations, and allow therapists to use the same evidence-informed strategies they would in person while adapting activities and homework to the client’s daily routine.
