Dawn Roberts, LCSW

Dawn Roberts is a Florida-licensed clinical social worker who helps people navigate stress, anxiety, depression, relationship struggles, trauma and abuse, and addiction-related concerns. She listens for strengths in each person's story and supports practical steps toward clearer thinking and steadier emotion. Dawn frames therapy as a partnership that starts with small, doable goals.

She uses straightforward, goal-focused work to address problems like low self-esteem, sleep disruption, parenting strain, grief, and career uncertainty. Sessions often focus on skills people can try between meetings, such as breathing and grounding tools, simple behavior changes, or short experiments to test new ways of coping. Dawn encourages people to notice what helps them and to build on those wins.

Her work also addresses more complex issues such as abandonment, blended family tensions, chronic illness or pain, codependency, dissociation, and substance use challenges. She draws on a mix of approaches to match each person’s needs, shifting between exploring values and taking practical steps when appropriate. The aim is steady progress rather than quick fixes.

Dawn brings four years of professional experience and holds the Licensed Clinical Social Worker credential (LCSW). She practices in Florida and offers therapy in English. She frames sessions around what a person wants to change and how to get there in ways that fit daily life.

To begin, Dawn asks people to consider their priorities and to take one small action toward them. That first step is often the most meaningful part of the work.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online work

Dawn uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy as part of her work. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and take small steps toward those values, which can reduce stuckness and increase motivation. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thought patterns and testing new behaviors to reduce symptoms like anxiety or low mood.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Dawn will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn't helped before. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust the plan as needed based on what fits the person's life and progress.

The biography does not list specific online formats, so confirm options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into busy days, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. It also supports using real-life situations as part of therapy homework, like practicing a conversation or testing a new bedtime routine between sessions. Licensed professionals can adapt ACT and CBT techniques to remote settings to keep the work focused and practical.
