Therapeutic Approaches and Online Sessions
Dawn commonly draws on client-centered therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) in her work. Client-centered therapy focuses on creating a respectful, nonjudgmental space where the therapist listens and reflects so clients can explore their thoughts and feelings and build self-understanding - it is helpful for relationship issues, self-esteem, and navigating life changes. CBT is a practical, skills-based approach that helps people identify unhelpful patterns in thinking and behavior and learn strategies to manage anxiety, low mood, and stress.Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Dawn works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences. She adapts techniques and pacing so therapy feels purposeful and manageable for the individual.
Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which offer flexibility for people balancing work, family, or other commitments. These formats make it possible to maintain continuity of care from different locations and to choose the mode of communication that feels most comfortable for each session.
