Dwanne Clayton, LCSW, CSW

Dwanne Clayton is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who helps people facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, and low self-esteem. She works with concerns like depression, grief, trauma, intimacy issues, and challenges related to parenting and caregiving. Dwanne practices in Florida and provides therapy in English.

She emphasizes that clients know their own stories and brings a practical, solutions-oriented focus to sessions. Conversations are geared toward finding small, doable steps that build confidence and momentum. Her aim is to help people feel more empowered and move toward goals that matter to them.

Dwanne draws on several approaches including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Emotionally-Focused Therapy, and Mindfulness Therapy. She uses these methods to help people manage emotions, improve communication, and reshape unhelpful patterns over time.

Her background lists five years of direct therapy experience. She is credentialed as LCSW and CSW and holds Florida licensure as a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. That experience informs practical work on issues such as ADHD, bipolar symptoms, compassion fatigue, and career concerns.

Sessions focus on clear goals like improving sleep, reducing anger, handling life changes, and addressing intimacy or commitment worries. Dwanne also supports people dealing with adoption and foster care histories, attachment issues, body image, and alternative sexual cultures.

Therapeutic approaches and online care options

Dwanne frequently uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice difficult thoughts and choose actions that match their values rather than getting stuck on feelings. She also draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns that contribute to anxiety, depression, and relationship problems.

She aims to work collaboratively to find the best approach for each person. That means talking about goals, trying different strategies, and adjusting the plan as progress happens. Clients and therapist decide together which tools fit the situation and preferences.

If you prefer online work, please confirm the specific session formats before booking since the biography does not list them. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow check-ins during a shorter break from work. They can also make it simpler to continue care after a life change or when schedules shift. Licensed professionals can adapt ACT and CBT techniques effectively over distance, helping clients practice skills between sessions and track small changes over time.
