Telehealth and remote support options
Dawn uses Client-Centered Therapy to create a collaborative, listening-focused space where the person’s priorities guide the work. In that approach sessions emphasize empathic understanding and support as a foundation for exploring challenges and setting goals.
She also uses Motivational Interviewing to help people clarify and strengthen their own reasons for change. That approach focuses on reducing ambivalence and building commitment to steps that feel achievable. For concerns related to past harm or overwhelming events, Trauma-Focused Therapy is employed to address trauma-related symptoms and to support processing in a paced, structured way.
Remote work is available via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options allow the therapeutic methods above to be applied in formats that fit different schedules and communication preferences, and Dawn discusses together which combination of approaches and contact methods best matches a person’s needs.
