Approaches that translate to online care
Dawn uses client-centered therapy to focus sessions on what each person wants to change and what already works in their life. That approach emphasizes listening, empathy, and collaborative goal setting to help people gain clarity and direction.She also draws on cognitive behavioral therapy, which looks at thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going and teaches practical skills to shift them. CBT is useful for anxiety, depression, stress, and many daily challenges. When trauma is a central issue she may incorporate EMDR techniques to address distressing memories and reduce their emotional hold.
Finding the best approach is a joint process. Dawn works with clients to identify what fits their needs, goals, and pace. She adapts methods over time so sessions match changing priorities and progress is reviewed together.
