How her approaches work for online therapy

Dawn uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people spot unhelpful thinking and try different behaviors. CBT breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions so you can test small changes and see what helps.

She also incorporates Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills to teach tools for managing intense emotions and improving day-to-day coping. DBT-style skills can be useful for handling stress, anxiety, and strong reactions in relationships.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work together with each person to choose methods that match their goals and preferences. That means trying techniques in session and adjusting the plan if something does not fit.

Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life. Before booking, confirm the specific session options offered. Once scheduled, online work can help people practice coping skills between meetings, use shorter check-ins when days are tight, and focus on concrete steps to reduce loneliness and stress without needing long commutes.
