Ethel "Dawn" Capone , LPC

Ethel "Dawn" Capone builds her work around the conviction that a strong therapeutic relationship is the essential foundation for change. With 28 years of clinical experience, she emphasizes trust, respect, and clear communication as the three pillars that allow clients to explore difficult issues and find meaningful solutions. She approaches each person with empathy and a nonjudgmental stance, creating space for honest conversation and steady progress.

Clients view her as empathic, empowering, and trustworthy, qualities she cultivates through open dialogue and consistent support. As a LPC, which stands for Licensed Professional Counselor, she draws on a range of evidence-informed techniques while meeting people where they are in their lives. Whether addressing grief, anxiety, relationship concerns, addiction, trauma, or parenting and career challenges, she focuses on practical movement from problem toward workable strategies that fit each client’s circumstances.

Her goal is to guide individuals and families on a collaborative journey toward greater wellbeing, helping them move through obstacles, build resilience, and develop skills that support lasting change.

Evidence-Informed Approaches for Online Therapy

Ethel "Dawn" Capone uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy as core tools in her online work. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps clients clarify personal values and develop psychological flexibility - it is useful for stress, anxiety, and coping with life changes. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on empathic listening and unconditional positive regard so clients feel heard and supported while they explore their concerns and goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) targets unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, teaching practical skills for managing symptoms of depression, anxiety, and many everyday challenges.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and she collaborates with each person to determine which methods best fit their needs, goals, and preferences. The selection of techniques evolves as progress is made, with the therapist and client working together to tailor the work.

Online sessions can be conducted by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging, offering flexibility for busy schedules, varied comfort levels, and different locations. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care and access licensed professionals and therapists when in-person visits are not feasible.
