About Dawn

Dawn Reese is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in Wisconsin with three years of clinical experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, and addiction-related struggles, and lists trauma and abuse, self-esteem, career concerns, and relationship and intimacy issues among her focus areas. Sessions are presented as a partnership where the client’s goals guide the work.

Dawn uses straightforward conversation and practical steps to address problems. She draws from client-centered therapy to keep sessions focused on the client's perspective. Mindfulness techniques are used to help with stress and grounding. Motivational interviewing helps when someone is ambivalent about change, and solution-focused methods support short-term goal setting.

She also lists trauma-focused therapy for people who bring trauma or abuse histories into sessions. That approach involves paying attention to how past experiences affect current reactions and building skills to manage those responses. Dawn notes caregiver stress, chronic pain or illness, and workplace issues as additional areas she addresses.

The tone in sessions is described as partnering and gentle, with an emphasis on clarifying what the client wants to achieve. Practical problem solving and coping skills are part of the work. Clients collaborate on a plan that fits their daily life and responsibilities.

Dawn works in English and accepts international clients. Costs vary by location and use a subscription model that can be canceled at any time. To begin, readers are asked to complete the short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.

How Dawn Uses Therapeutic Approaches in Online Sessions

Client-centered therapy focuses on the client's perspective and priorities. In practice this means the therapist listens for what matters most to the client and follows their lead, helping the person name goals and notice progress. It’s useful for concerns like stress, self-esteem, and relationship problems.

Mindfulness therapy teaches simple, moment-to-moment attention skills. These techniques help with anxiety, stress, and grounding when emotions feel overwhelming. They are practical exercises that can be practiced between sessions to manage day-to-day reactions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Dawn will collaborate with clients to figure out which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That may mean combining client-centered conversation, mindfulness practice, and motivational interviewing or solution-focused steps depending on what the client wants to work on.

The profile does not specify which session formats are offered, so confirm current options before booking. Many people find online sessions easier to fit into work and family schedules, reduce travel time, or make follow-up check-ins simpler. Online work can also allow shorter focused sessions for quick problem solving or longer sessions for deeper topics depending on the agreed plan.
