About Dawneisha
Dawneisha Spratley is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Pennsylvania with 20 years of clinical experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, ADHD, trauma, relationship strain, and parenting concerns. Her manner is warm and respectful and she aims to make sessions straightforward and useful.
In sessions she uses a blend of practical methods. Conversations focus on immediate problems and steps clients can try between meetings. She listens for patterns in thinking and behavior, and she helps people test small changes that can improve day-to-day life.
Background and approach
Dawneisha adapts her pace to each person. Some clients want direct tools to manage symptoms, while others need space to process painful events. She draws from cognitive-behavioral ideas, acceptance work, attachment-focused thinking, and emotion-centered approaches to guide the plan.
Her background includes long-term therapeutic work with people who have experienced abuse, caregiving stress, and complex life transitions. She also helps with issues like impulsivity, codependency, grief, and substance concerns. Practical problem solving often mixes with attention to how relationships shape feelings and choices.
Dawneisha encourages realistic goals and steady progress. New clients usually start by identifying one or two changes they want to make. From there she helps create simple, achievable steps and checks in on what’s working and what needs to shift.
Therapeutic approaches adapted for online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters most to them and take small steps toward those values even when hard emotions arise. It can be useful for anxiety, stress, and making behavior changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting thought and behavior patterns that keep problems going and practicing alternative responses; it often helps with anxiety, depression, and impulsivity. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early and current relationships shape how people feel and relate, which is helpful for relationship strain, grief, and intimacy concerns.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful, then together choose methods to try. That collaborative process can change over time as needs shift and progress is made.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make scheduling easier and to fit different life demands. Video allows face-to-face conversation and shared exercises, phone calls can be a simpler check-in with lower bandwidth, chat can work well for short updates, and messaging supports ongoing reflections between sessions. These options let people fit therapy around work, caregiving, or busy days while using the therapist’s chosen approaches.
