Practical Online Therapy Grounded in Evidence-Based Approaches
Dawn Adler, LCSW, LISW, draws from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help clients notice unhelpful thought patterns and behavior cycles, then practice new skills that better support day-to-day coping. CBT is often used when someone wants structure and tools for concerns like stress, anxiety, low mood, or relationship strain.Her client-centered style emphasizes respect, collaboration, and a steady focus on what matters most to the client. This approach can be especially helpful when someone wants a supportive space to sort through complex feelings, life transitions, or questions about identity, self-esteem, and personal growth.
Dawn also incorporates solution-focused therapy, which highlights strengths and small, realistic steps toward change. It can be a good fit for clients who want to clarify goals, build momentum, and focus on what is workable right now.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. Dawn works collaboratively with clients to tailor sessions to their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting the pace and focus as therapy unfolds.
