Dawnel Kuhn, LMHC

Dawnel Kuhn is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) practicing in Florida. She has eight years of experience helping people facing stress, anxiety, addiction, trauma and abuse, anger, and depression. Dawnel aims to create a respectful, compassionate space for people to talk through difficult issues and find steady steps forward.

She works with each person to build a clear plan based on their needs and goals. Sessions focus on practical steps and steady progress rather than quick fixes. Dawnel emphasizes collaboration and uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to guide the work.

Her background includes years supporting people with substance use concerns, grief, mood difficulties, dissociation, and relationship challenges like attachment issues, communication problems, and codependency. She also helps people coping with the effects of domestic violence, divorce, abandonment, and disaster-related stress.

Dawnel describes her style as sensitive and direct. She listens closely, offers straightforward feedback, and helps people develop new skills to manage strong emotions and risky behaviors. The goal is to increase safety, reduce distress, and restore a sense of control over daily life.

Reaching out is often the hardest step. Dawnel aims to make the first conversations practical and doable. She works with English-speaking adults and accepts clients from outside the United States when logistics allow. To start, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule according to therapist availability.

Approaches that guide online therapy

Many of Dawnel's sessions draw on evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on managing symptoms and building coping skills. One common approach teaches practical coping and emotion-regulation skills to reduce anxiety, manage anger, and support mood stability. These techniques help people learn step-by-step strategies to respond differently to stress and strong emotions.

Another frequent focus is on addressing trauma-related reactions through structured, paced work. This involves working slowly to increase safety, reduce distressing symptoms, and rebuild everyday routines after traumatic events. That work often pairs skill-building with close collaboration on what feels manageable in each session.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapy process. The therapist will work together with the client to choose methods that match needs, goals, and personal preferences. That collaborative process includes checking progress and adjusting the plan when something isn’t working.

If you prefer online care, confirm the current session options before booking. The platform uses a subscription model that can be canceled at any time. Many people find online therapy makes it easier to fit sessions into work or family schedules, allows shorter check-ins when needed, and removes travel time so therapy can be more consistent with daily life.
