Dawn Hutson

Holistic Jungian therapist specializing in trauma and relationships

About

Hello my name is Dawn and I have been individually licensed to practice individual therapy for 6 years. During my time as a therapist I have helped individuals with depression, anxiety and trauma gain the skills and self-acceptance they need to achieve their goals. By gaining skills and acceptance of yourself; you will be able to live the life you desire. I believe that everyone is a unique individual so I approach therapy with an open mind and no judgement on your past or present experiences. This approach allows you to feel in control of your therapy and learn skills through therapy interventions like cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and didactical behavioral therapy (DBT) all through a trauma informed lenses. A trauma informed lenses allows me, as your therapist, to see you as uniquely you and how your experiences have brought you to this point.
My therapeutic approach can be summed up by the quote from Charles Addams “Normal is an illusion, what is normal for the spider is chaos for the fly.” This quote speaks to the individual experiences we all have and that we are all unique. Therapy will be successful for you if you are willing to put in the work and practice the skills we discuss outside of therapy sessions. You are seeking supports and encouragement from me to gain the life you are looking for. My job as your therapist will be to guide you through exploring yourself and gaining skills to meet your goals.
Throughout my studies to become a therapist and practicing as a licensed therapist I have learned that everyone has their own individual experiences; that we are all unique in how we experience life and seek supports to benefit our lives. Depression along with other mental health symptoms may seem like common experiences today; however you individually experience these symptoms is unique and there is not a one size fits all approach. Using multiple different approaches I can support you in managing your symptoms effectively.
I became a therapist because I saw the benefits individuals gained when they had someone who was non-judgmental and accepting of them. I have always been drawn to helping and supporting others. I gain fulfillment out of seeing others succeed and achieve what they want out of life. As a therapist I am able to reach others at any point in their lives to help them gain self-acceptance and encourage them to use skills to meet their goals. This passion to accept others for who they are started with my family values and how my family respects others no matter their walk of life.
When I’m’ not working I am having adventures in the mountains with my family including camping, hiking and enjoying nature in its bounty. In addition I enjoy doing pottery working on crafts or trying a new recipes at home.
I am excited to begin working with you soon!

About

Dawn Hutson is a licensed clinical professional counselor in Montana who has eight years of experience providing individual therapy. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, depression, relationship and family conflicts, parenting challenges, anger management, self-esteem concerns, and coping with life changes.

Her approach is trauma-informed and nonjudgmental, emphasizing self-acceptance alongside practical skill-building. Dawn uses evidence-based interventions such as cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) to help clients develop tools they can practice between sessions. She invites each person to take an active role in therapy so progress continues outside the office.

Dawn believes that everyone’s experience is unique and adapts treatment to fit the individual rather than relying on a one-size-fits-all plan. She often frames this perspective with Charles Addams’s line, “Normal is an illusion, what is normal for the spider is chaos for the fly,” to underscore the value of understanding individual differences.

Her decision to become a therapist grew from a longstanding desire to support others with acceptance and encouragement, values shaped by her family. Outside of work she enjoys spending time in Montana’s mountains with family – camping, hiking, and exploring nature – and pursues hands-on hobbies like pottery, crafting, and trying new recipes.

Is Online Therapy the Right Step Toward Better Mental Health?

For many common concerns – including stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strain, and life transitions – online therapy can be just as effective as traditional in-person care. Research and clinical experience show that virtual sessions can help people make meaningful progress on these issues.

One major benefit is flexibility. Clients can choose the format that fits their routine and comfort level – video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or in-app messaging – which makes it easier to maintain regular appointments and practice new skills between sessions.

All therapists involved are licensed professionals, and clients may switch therapists at any time if they want a different fit. For many people, the combination of evidence-based care and flexible delivery makes online therapy a practical option for addressing everyday mental health concerns.
