About Dawnel
Dawnel Kuhn is a Florida LMHC - Licensed Mental Health Counselor with eight years of clinical experience. She helps people who are struggling with stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, anger, and depression. Dawnel works with adults coping with related concerns such as abandonment, attachment issues, codependency, and substance use challenges.
She uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques and builds a clear plan with each person. Sessions focus on practical steps, problem solving, and talking through feelings that get in the way of everyday life. The work is collaborative; she and the client set goals and check progress over time.
Dawnel is direct about symptoms and triggers and keeps language straightforward. She explains options and offers tools people can try between sessions. That may include stress management strategies, coping skills for intense emotions, and ways to recognize patterns that lead to repeated mistakes.
Her background includes supporting people through relationship strain, divorce and separation, domestic violence, and losses related to disasters. She also has experience with dissociation, disruptive mood dysregulation disorder, and dependent or antisocial personality concerns. This range informs how she designs treatment plans.
Sessions are offered in English. International clients are accepted. Dawnel asks people to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session to begin the process.
How evidence-based techniques translate to remote sessions
Two common evidence-based techniques are skills-based cognitive strategies and trauma-informed coping work. Skills-based cognitive strategies involve identifying unhelpful thoughts and practicing alternative ways of thinking and behaving; these methods help with anxiety, depression, and decision-related guilt. Trauma-informed coping work focuses on grounding, emotion regulation, and pacing exposure to painful memories so people can reduce reactivity and build tolerance for difficult feelings.Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, symptoms, and what has or hasn't helped before. Together they decide which techniques to try first and adjust the plan as progress is made or priorities change, keeping the client involved in choices about the work.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm the current online options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life - for example fitting a check-in during a lunch break or avoiding travel time on a workday. It also allows continuing care for people who have relocated. Therapists and licensed professionals commonly use remote sessions to keep treatment consistent while focusing on practical skills and ongoing check-ins.
