About Dawn
Dawn Roberts is a licensed social worker in Florida who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strain, trauma, and challenges with motivation and self-esteem.

She believes people know the core of their own story. Sessions aim to amplify existing strengths and build new skills.
Background and approach
Dawn encourages small steps that add up to real change and offers steady support while clients try those steps out. Her approach mixes goal-focused strategies with a person-centered stance. That means clients set their priorities and Dawn helps with tools to reach them.
Typical tools include techniques to manage difficult thoughts, build coping skills, and stay motivated through setbacks. Dawn has worked with concerns that often overlap, such as addiction and co-occurring mental health issues, grief, parenting stress, and relationship conflict. She also focuses on issues tied to identity and family life, including adoption and blended family matters.
People can expect clear conversation, practical homework when helpful, and check-ins on what is working. Dawn frames therapy as a partnership where clients’ values guide the goals. Her practice style is warm and direct, aimed at making day-to-day life easier to manage.
Approaches that inform online sessions
Dawn uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to guide online work. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thought patterns and testing them with practical experiments. It helps with anxiety, depression, and problems that respond to clear behavioral steps. ACT emphasizes values and committed action, helping people accept difficult feelings while moving toward what matters most.Finding the right approach is collaborative. Dawn will talk with clients about their goals and preferences and then recommend methods to try together. Adjustments are made along the way so therapy fits the person's needs rather than forcing a single method.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation for skill practice and deeper discussion. Phone sessions can be easier when video is not possible or bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text messaging are useful for brief check-ins, quick coping strategies, or ongoing support between longer sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and daily life.
