About Dawneisha
Dawneisha Spratley is a Licensed Professional Counselor with 20 years of experience helping people navigate stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship strain, and parenting challenges.

Her sessions draw from a mix of approaches. She uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice difficult thoughts and focus on valued action.
How Dawneisha works
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps identify unhelpful thinking patterns and build new skills. Attachment-based ideas guide work on connection, trust, and relationship patterns. Dawneisha adapts conversations and strategies to each person.
She centers individual goals and life context when shaping a plan. That might mean short-term skill-building for coping or deeper work on trauma and attachment over time. She has experience addressing a wide set of concerns beyond core mood and stress issues.
These include parenting strain, grief, addiction, intimacy and self-esteem problems, ADHD, compassion fatigue, and complex topics like abandonment or adoption history. People also turn to her for help with career stress, codependency, and impulse control. Sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging.
English is the language she uses with clients. International clients are not accepted. Payment uses a cancellable subscription that varies by location and therapist availability.
To begin, prospective clients select the Start Therapy button, complete a short matching questionnaire, and schedule according to therapist availability. Dawneisha aims to build a respectful, goal-focused working relationship.

Online support options
Using evidence-based approaches in online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice painful thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then choose actions that match their values. It can help with anxiety, depression, and coping with life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on the connection between thoughts, feelings, and behavior and teaches practical skills to reduce symptoms and change unhelpful habits. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at patterns of connection and trust in relationships and helps people understand how early bonds affect current behavior and intimacy.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Dawneisha will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. That means checking in about what helps, adjusting techniques, and combining approaches when needed to address stress, trauma, parenting strain, or relationship concerns.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video lets people use face-to-face conversation when helpful. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or for a shorter check-in. Live chat and text messaging provide a way to keep in touch between longer appointments or for people who prefer typed communication. These options make it easier to fit sessions into busy lives and to maintain continuity of care across locations.
