About Dwanne

Dwanne Clayton is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) and CSW practicing in Florida who brings a combination of longterm professional experience and focused clinical work to therapy. She has spent 15 years in professional roles and has provided psychotherapy for five years, supporting adults through challenges such as depression, anxiety, stress, relationship and family conflicts, self-esteem concerns, motivation struggles, and couples work. Her practice also addresses trauma, grief, parenting and intimacy-related issues, as well as a wide range of life adjustments and identity-related concerns.

Rooted in solution-oriented strategies, Dwanne emphasizes collaboration and the client’s own expertise about their life. She works to help people uncover strengths, build confidence, and move toward goals that feel meaningful and manageable. While she acknowledges that past events cannot be changed, she focuses on practical steps to better understand current patterns and resolve ongoing difficulties. Her aim is to guide clients toward a more balanced, purposeful life that aligns with their values and priorities.

Beginning therapy can feel daunting, and Dwanne recognizes that taking the first step requires courage. She offers supportive, goal-focused care designed to empower each person as they work toward sustainable change. LCSW stands for Licensed Clinical Social Worker and CSW denotes Certified Social Worker, credentials she holds as part of her clinical practice.

Approaches for Growth and Flexible Online Care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters most to them and take small, value-driven steps even when difficult thoughts or feelings are present; it is useful for anxiety, depression, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying patterns of thinking and behavior that maintain distress and then practicing practical skills to shift those patterns, which can help with stress, mood, and coping. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a respectful, nonjudgmental therapeutic relationship in which the therapist listens closely and supports the client in finding their own solutions, often helping with self-esteem, relationship concerns, and motivation.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Dwanne works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, and adjusts the plan as progress unfolds. This collaborative stance helps ensure the work feels relevant and achievable.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility by allowing sessions by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging, making it easier to fit care into a busy life, manage transportation or scheduling barriers, and maintain continuity of support during changes. For many people, these options increase accessibility and make consistent engagement with therapy more workable while still drawing on evidence-informed therapeutic approaches.
