About Ethel
Ethel "Dawn" Capone is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Pennsylvania with 28 years of experience. She works with concerns common in young adulthood, including anxiety, depression, relationship strain, career transition, ADHD, and coping with life changes. Her practice also addresses parenting, stress, addiction, grief, trauma and other related issues.
Dawn focuses on building a trusting working relationship first. She prioritizes clear communication and respect before moving into practical work. Sessions are described as collaborative conversations where goals and steps are clarified together.
Her approach draws on practical therapies such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Client-Centered methods. She uses these to help people notice unhelpful patterns, test small changes, and build workable habits for day-to-day life.
Dawn also uses mindfulness and motivational interviewing tools when they fit the person's goals. That can look like short exercises to reduce overwhelm, or questions that help someone find what matters most to them. She aims to help people turn insight into specific actions.
With many years of experience, Dawn has supported people through a wide range of issues including relationship difficulties, parenting stress, chronic illness, body image, and career uncertainty. She works in English and accepts international clients. To begin, callers follow the provider's online steps to match and schedule a first session.
Approaches you may use together online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and take small actions that reflect those values. It focuses on reducing the control that painful thoughts and feelings have over daily choices and is useful for anxiety, low mood, and life transitions.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. It uses practical exercises to test unhelpful beliefs and develop different habits, which can help with depression, anxiety, and stress management.
Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes an open, respectful conversation where the therapist follows the client's lead. This approach supports people who want a reflective space to sort priorities, relationships, and identity concerns.
Choosing a method is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with the client to identify goals, try approaches that fit those goals, and adjust based on what helps. That means sessions can mix methods and change over time to match needs and preferences.
