About Dwanne
Dwanne Clayton is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) who practices in Florida and brings five years of direct therapy experience to her work. She focuses on helping people navigate stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and family challenges, self-esteem and confidence struggles, and a range of life transitions.
Background and approach
Her approach emphasizes the client’s strengths and lived experience, with practical strategies to address present-day difficulties such as grief, trauma, intimacy-related concerns, sleep problems, parenting stress, and career-related adjustments. Clayton draws on evidence-informed methods including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and client-centered techniques to promote clearer thinking, values-based action, and self-awareness.
She frames therapy as a collaborative process that aims to uncover personal resources, set achievable goals, and develop solution-oriented skills. Additional areas she attends to include ADHD, bipolar mood concerns, compassion fatigue, attachment and adoption issues, body image, and relationship dynamics that involve commitment, communication, or blended-family stress.
Clients can expect an encouraging, strengths-focused stance that honors their narrative while working toward practical change. Clayton supports exploration of coping skills and meaningful growth so people can move toward a more balanced, purposeful life.
Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care
Clayton often integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help clients identify and reframe unhelpful thoughts and build practical coping skills for anxiety, depression, and stress-related concerns. She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to support clients in clarifying values, accepting difficult emotions, and taking committed action toward meaningful life goals. Client-centered principles guide her work as well, offering a supportive, empathetic space where the client’s perspective shapes the pace and direction of therapy.Choosing the right approach is treated as a collaborative process. The therapist and client explore goals, preferences, and the specific problems presented to determine which combination of methods will best support progress. This collaborative stance helps tailor interventions to each person’s needs rather than applying a single method universally.
Online therapy is offered through several convenient formats including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These options provide flexibility for scheduling, allow work to continue around busy lives or caregiving responsibilities, and make it easier to maintain continuity between sessions. The variety of formats supports different communication styles and makes it possible to adapt care to what works best for each client.
