How Dawn’s approaches can work online

Dawn often uses Client-Centered Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy when helping people with stress, relationship concerns, grief, and jealousy. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening closely and following what matters most to the person, which helps people feel heard and decide on goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions interact and gives concrete tools to try different responses to anxiety, anger, or low mood.

Choosing an approach is a collaborative process. Dawn will talk with each person about their needs, goals, and preferences, and then suggest techniques to try. She adjusts methods over time if something isn’t fitting, so the plan stays practical and relevant to daily life.
