More about Dawn

3 years' experience
Female
LCSW

I am a Liscensced Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with over 10 year experience working with individuals of various backgrounds struggling with life changes and seeking significant change. I have experience working with anxiety, depression, life changes, grief and loss, trauma, or simply with individuals seeking a deeper personal understanding.

I am most comfortable using a combination of therapeutic techniques to create a casual, collaborative and interactive exchange. I find that a person-centered, strengths-focused approach is a good foundation in which other techniques, such as cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) or mindfulness can be incorporated to best match your personality and situation.

I understand that it can be difficult to take the first steps toward seeking help. I look forward to getting to know you and to working together to establish goals, focus on your objectives and work toward making positive change in your life.

About online counseling

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.

Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.
