Getting to know Rachel Dawson

My name is Rachel Dawson, and I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (MH19525) in the state of Florida. I graduated with a Master’s in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Liberty University and was licensed in Florida in 2021. My professional experience includes providing counseling to individuals, children, and families experiencing life changes, adjustment disorders, anxiety, depression, grief, conduct disorders, mood disorders, focus and concentration difficulties, stress management, trauma and stressor-related disorders, and work-life balance challenges. I approach the therapeutic process from a person-centered perspective, meaning that you, the client, are empowered and credited for taking ownership of your counseling journey. My goal is to address your needs and personal patterns with tactful, honest grace. My approach integrates cognitive behavioral therapy, solution-focused therapy, and mindfulness techniques. I use these methods to help you learn tools and perspectives that you can apply in your daily life and relationships. At the beginning of your counseling journey, I focus on building a therapeutic rapport while gaining an understanding of how your presenting concerns impact your mental, emotional, physical, and social health. If you desire, I also explore the significance and impact of your spiritual beliefs on your development and integrate the tenets of your faith into the interventions used throughout the counseling process. After understanding your concerns and establishing a working rapport, I collaborate with you to set clinical treatment goals tailored to the changes and growth you are ready to pursue. Together, we work in sessions to learn, practice, and implement tools and perspectives that will help you meet your goals. My intention is to support you as you find direction and hope for the life you desire.
