Dawnchele Harris, LCSW

Dawnchele Harris is a Florida-based therapist who uses a client-centered approach to help people facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, parenting challenges, and low self-esteem. She is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, with eight years of experience in helping people find clearer ways forward. Dawnchele aims to create an open, nonjudgmental space where clients can talk through what matters to them.

She focuses on practical steps people can use between sessions. That work often includes building motivation, strengthening communication, and developing coping skills for life changes. She also supports people managing depression and postpartum concerns, and those navigating divorce or separation.

Dawnchele draws on techniques from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thinking and change behavior. She also uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy ideas to help people understand their feelings and improve connection in close relationships. Mindfulness and motivational interviewing are included when they fit a person’s goals.

In sessions she aims to listen first and follow each person’s pace. The goal is to help clients notice small shifts that lead to more confidence and better day-to-day functioning. She encourages practical experiments and regular check-ins on progress.

People can expect straightforward conversation, clear goals, and tools to practice between meetings. Before scheduling, confirm current session options so arrangements match individual needs and schedules.

How her approaches translate to online work

Dawnchele combines client-centered work with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Emotionally-Focused Therapy to address relationship and personal concerns. Client-Centered Therapy means she listens closely and tailors sessions to what each person needs, helping clients set the pace and priorities. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors to reduce anxiety and lift mood. Emotionally-Focused Therapy helps people name and process feelings so they can respond differently in close relationships.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. She will discuss goals, preferences, and what has or hasn't helped before, then try methods that fit the client's situation. This collaborative process allows adjustments over time so the therapy remains practical and relevant.

Confirm current session options before booking since specific formats are not listed in the profile. Online therapy can make it easier to fit meetings into busy days, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also support continuity during life changes and help people practice new communication skills between meetings.
