About Dawneisha
Dawneisha Spratley is a Licensed Professional Counselor with 20 years of clinical experience in Pennsylvania. She offers calm, practical support for people dealing with anger, anxiety, stress, depression, and life transitions.

She draws on a mix of methods to suit the person in front of her. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps people notice and change unhelpful thinking and behavior.
Background and approach
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy supports values-based action when feelings feel overwhelming. Attachment-based ideas are used to look at how past relationships affect current reactions. Dawneisha keeps sessions focused and collaborative.
She listens for patterns that fuel anger, impulsivity, or relationship conflict and works with clients to build new habits. Practical tools and short exercises are common parts of the work, so people leave sessions with things to try between meetings. She has years of experience helping people who have faced trauma, abuse, caregiver stress, and addiction-related concerns.
Dawneisha also supports clients navigating parenting challenges, grief, identity issues, and workplace stress. Sessions are offered in English and can be scheduled according to the therapist's availability. The therapist uses a subscription model that can be canceled at any time and offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging.

Therapeutic approaches adapted for online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying what matters to you and taking small meaningful steps toward those values, even when strong emotions are present. It can help with anger, anxiety, depression, and motivation by teaching practical ways to notice thoughts and commit to chosen actions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behavior and uses short exercises to change unhelpful patterns; it is useful for anxiety, mood concerns, and managing impulsivity. Attachment-Based Therapy explores how early relationship patterns shape current reactions and helps people develop different ways of relating that reduce conflict and reactive behavior.Dawneisha will work collaboratively to find the best approach for each person. Together the therapist and client discuss goals, try techniques, and adjust the plan based on what feels most helpful. Choosing the right method is part of the process and can shift as progress is made.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation and in-the-moment coaching. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text messaging are useful for quick check-ins, brief coaching, or when a shorter, written exchange fits a busy day. These options make scheduling more flexible and help therapy fit into work, caregiving, or school routines.
