About Dwanne

Dwanne Clayton is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who helps people managing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strains, and challenges around self-esteem. She works with adults facing grief, trauma, parenting stress, career transitions, and concerns linked to intimacy and sexual identity. Sessions are offered in English and take place online through video, phone, chat, or messaging.

Clayton uses straightforward, practical strategies to help clients make small changes that add up. She draws on cognitive behavioral techniques to spot unhelpful thinking patterns and on mindfulness to build calm and focus.

Background and approach

Emotionally-Focused Therapy ideas guide work on connection in relationships, while Acceptance and Commitment Therapy supports finding values and motivation. Her approach centers on collaboration. Clients bring their goals and stories, and she helps shape steps toward clearer choices and better daily functioning.

Therapy often includes homework between sessions, simple skill practice, and real-world problem solving to support progress outside the meeting time. Clayton has five years of direct therapy experience and holds the credentials LCSW and CSW. She practices from Florida and brings experience addressing a wide range of issues including ADHD, caregiving stress, blended family concerns, body image, and kink-friendly sexuality topics.

Getting started is a short process of filling a matching questionnaire and scheduling a session. She aims to make early sessions focused and practical so clients leave with one or two things to try before the next meeting.

Online support

How therapeutic approaches shape online care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice what matters to them and take small actions toward those values even when emotions are difficult. It can be useful for anxiety, depression, and coping with life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying thought patterns that feed stress and depression and then testing new behaviors to change outcomes. It is practical for sleep problems, low mood, and anxiety. Client-Centered Therapy centers the client's own perspective and uses empathic listening to build trust and clarity, which supports work on self-esteem and relationship issues.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide what methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That plan can change over time as progress is made and new concerns arise.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect using video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video is good for face-to-face conversation and deeper emotional work. Phone sessions require less bandwidth and can fit a break at work. Live chat and messaging are useful for brief check-ins, ongoing coaching, or practicing skills between meetings. These options make it easier to keep continuity of care while fitting therapy into a busy life.
