About Dawnel
Dawnel Kuhn is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in Florida with eight years of clinical experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, anger, and depression. She also addresses related concerns such as attachment and abandonment issues, codependency, substance use, and relationship communication problems.
Dawnel focuses on clear, practical conversations. She works with people to map out current problems and then sets short-term steps to reduce distress. Sessions cover coping skills for anxiety and anger, ways to handle substance use and cravings, and strategies for managing reactions after trauma.
Her style is collaborative. She and the client build a plan that reflects the client's goals and strengths. That plan can include pacing work on painful memories, practicing new ways to communicate, or learning tools to interrupt compulsive behaviors.
Dawnel draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques to guide sessions and to help people notice what works for them. She asks direct questions and assigns concrete tasks between sessions when useful. Progress is checked regularly and the approach is adjusted based on what the client reports.
Clients can expect straightforward feedback and a focus on skills that apply to daily life. Dawnel accepts international clients and holds sessions in English. To begin, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.
Therapeutic approaches and online sessions
Evidence-based techniques guide her work. Cognitive-behavioral approaches focus on identifying unhelpful thoughts and practicing different behaviors to reduce anxiety and depression. This method is useful for managing daily stress, changing patterns that maintain mood problems, and building coping skills.Trauma-informed techniques involve pacing exposure to difficult memories and teaching grounding and emotion regulation tools. These methods help people reduce overwhelming reactions and regain more control over how they respond after traumatic events.
Choosing the right method is a collaborative process. She will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or has not helped in the past. Together they try approaches and adjust the plan based on what actually helps the client feel more manageable day to day.
