How her approaches translate to online therapy
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and helping people set their own goals. In online sessions this means the therapist follows the client's lead and offers support that fits the person's priorities. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors. Online CBT often uses short exercises and specific homework to test changes between meetings. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, EMDR, is used to address traumatic memories by combining focused attention with guided procedures to reduce distress related to those memories.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Dawn will talk with each person about their needs, goals, and preferences and make choices collaboratively. That conversation can include trying one method and adjusting as progress is tracked.
Please confirm available session formats before booking because the biography does not list specific delivery methods. Many people find online sessions help fit therapy into a busy schedule by reducing travel time and allowing shorter check-ins when needed. Online work can also make it easier to practice skills in everyday routines and to keep momentum between meetings.
