How Dawn’s approaches shape online care
Dawn uses Client-Centered Therapy to build a respectful, listening-based relationship where a person’s own goals guide the work. This approach focuses on understanding the client and adapting the pace and topics to what matters most to them.She also applies Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. CBT gives clear, concrete skills to manage anxiety, mood, and sleep problems through short exercises and practice outside sessions.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. Dawn will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and daily routine. She checks in and adjusts the plan as progress is made or priorities change.

Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into busy days, reduce travel time, and allow a quicker check-in on a work break or between appointments. It can also let people practice skills in the environments where they live and work, so therapy carries over into everyday life.
