About Dwanne
Dwanne Clayton is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in Florida with five years of direct therapy experience. She works with people facing depression, stress and anxiety, relationship challenges, self-esteem concerns, motivation issues, and grief. Sessions address emotional and practical problems that make daily life harder to manage.
She uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) alongside approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, and Mindfulness Therapy. In sessions she helps clients name difficult feelings, notice patterns in relationships, and try small changes that feel manageable. Conversations focus on what is happening now and on steps a person can take between sessions.
Dwanne emphasizes practical strategies that fit into everyday life. That can include behavior changes, values-based goal-setting, and short mindfulness exercises to reduce reactivity. She also draws on problem-solving techniques to address work, sleep, parenting, and stress-related struggles.
Her background includes social work practice across Florida and Georgia, reflected in the LCSW and CSW credentials she holds. She brings five years of therapy experience to work with people coping with trauma, abandonment, attachment issues, and complex life changes. Dwanne also supports clients dealing with relationship concerns tied to intimacy, communication, commitment, and blended family dynamics.
People looking for help with career strain, caregiver stress, ADHD-related challenges, or sexual expression questions such as BDSM and kink can discuss these topics in sessions. To begin, she asks new clients to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule an initial meeting to set goals and decide on a plan.
How EFT and related approaches fit into online sessions
Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) focuses on identifying and working with emotions in the moment to change interaction patterns and increase emotional understanding. It can help with relationship patterns, attachment concerns, and feeling seen in close connections.Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) works on clarifying values and taking steps that align with those values, even when difficult feelings are present. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and tests small changes to reduce distress and improve daily functioning.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide whether EFT, ACT, CBT, or a mix best matches the client's goals, needs, and preferences. That choice can change as therapy progresses and as different issues come into focus.
