More about Dawn
- 6 years' experience
- Female
- LCSW
I am a veteran with 9 years of active duty experience so I have first hand knowledge of work stress, deployments, reintegration, and transitioning to civilian life. I completed graduate school at Louisiana State University then spent the last 6 years as a Social Worker with mostly inpatient experience which means I have seen individuals at their absolute worst and have been able to assist them with gaining stability and begin the process of gaining a better quality life. I most recently facilitated substance abuse group therapy with active duty members. I use a patient-centered approach and evidence-based intervention techniques to support clients in creating and living their best lives. I use a person-centered approach with a focus on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) for treating depression and anxiety by challenging negative thought patterns and inaccurate core beliefs. I use Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) to treat interpersonal issues, emotional dysregulation, and distress tolerance. I use Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT) to treat PTSD and trauma related disorders. I also use attachment-based theories, mindfulness, internal family systems, and positive psychology when required. I prefer to use a multimodal approach for treating substance abuse and co-occurring disorders.

Online counseling, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions.
Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.
