Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes the client as the expert in their own life. In this approach the therapist offers empathy, validation, and support while helping the client explore values and goals - it is often helpful for people facing transitions, relationship concerns, or questions about identity.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. CBT is practical and skills-based, commonly used for anxiety, depression, and stress-related problems to build coping strategies and improve day-to-day functioning.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) teaches skills in emotional regulation, distress tolerance, interpersonal effectiveness, and mindfulness. It is especially useful for people who experience intense emotions or difficulties with relationship patterns.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is a collaborative process. Dawn works with each client to understand their needs, goals, and preferences and together they determine which methods to emphasize so therapy fits the person rather than the other way around.

Online therapy offers flexibility and accessibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, maintain continuity during transitions, and connect with licensed professionals and therapists from a convenient location.
