About Dawnel
Dawnel Kuhn is a licensed mental health counselor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, addiction, trauma, and anger. She offers straightforward support and a calm presence so people can talk about what feels overwhelming right now. She uses a collaborative style.
Sessions focus on practical steps, clearer thinking, and safer ways to respond to strong emotions. Conversations are guided by the client's goals and day-to-day realities rather than clinical jargon.
Background and approach
With eight years of experience as a Florida Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC), she has worked with a broad range of concerns from substance use and grief to mood challenges and trauma. That background shapes how she notices patterns and suggests small changes that add up over time. Clients can expect a respectful, direct approach that balances listening with actionable strategies.
Dawnel prioritizes safety and coping skills for people who feel stuck in cycles of anger or worry. She supports people in building routines and reactions that reduce conflict and regret. She also addresses related issues that often appear alongside anger such as attachment wounds, communication problems, codependency, and difficulty coping after loss or upheaval.
Sessions aim to help people gain more control over behaviors and responses, and to increase calm in daily life. Her work includes helping with substance use, domestic violence aftermath, dissociation, and adjustment after separation. Dawnel meets clients where they are and works step-by-step toward clearer choices and steadier days.

Evidence-based approaches and online care
Dawnel draws on established, evidence-based therapeutic techniques that help people manage intense emotions and change unhelpful patterns. One common approach focuses on learning concrete coping skills for strong feelings, teaching step-by-step strategies to reduce reactivity and practice calmer responses in triggering situations. This helps when anger or anxiety lead to regrettable actions or persistent worry.Another approach emphasizes identifying and shifting repetitive thoughts and behaviors. That work looks at how certain thoughts fuel upset or avoidance, and then tests small behavior changes to see what actually helps. It is useful for depression, anxiety, addiction-related patterns, and difficulties with communication or commitment.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist partners with each person to choose methods that match their goals, needs, and daily life. Treatment plans are adjusted over time based on what proves most useful.
Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These formats make it easier to fit regular sessions into a busy schedule, accommodate shorter check-ins, or avoid being on camera when that feels best. They also let people access a licensed professional from different locations and keep therapy consistent during life changes.
