About Dawn
Dawn Reese is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who helps people manage anxiety and related concerns. She uses a calm, partnering style to guide conversations and find practical steps forward. Dawn meets people where they are and listens for what matters most to them.
She focuses on immediate challenges like stress and anxiety while also addressing deeper issues such as trauma, grief, and addiction. Sessions emphasize clear, doable strategies rather than lots of jargon.
Background and approach
Her background includes work with people who have serious mood and thought disorders, and she brings that experience to common life problems too. Dawn pays attention to how relationship strain, workplace stress, caregiver burden, and health conditions affect daily functioning. Therapeutic work in her sessions can include building mindfulness skills, identifying small behavior changes, and clarifying goals for work or relationships.
She draws from client-centered and solution-focused approaches to keep the work practical and collaborative. People who reach out can expect a steady, nonjudgmental presence and help forming short-term plans for change. Dawn also supports conversations about intimacy, codependency, forgiveness, and handling guilt or shame.
She speaks English and practices from Wisconsin as a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW).
How Dawn uses therapy approaches online
Dawn often draws on client-centered therapy, which means the conversation starts with the person's own goals and priorities and the therapist follows their lead. This approach works well for anxiety, self-esteem concerns, and relationship stress because it centers the person's experience.She also uses mindfulness therapy to teach simple attention and breathing skills that reduce reactivity and help manage stress and anxiety. These are short exercises that can be practiced between sessions and fit into busy days.
Motivational interviewing is another tool she may use when people want to change behaviors like substance use or workplace patterns. It helps people weigh options, find personal reasons for change, and build commitment without pressure.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Dawn will discuss options and help decide what methods match a person's needs, goals, and preferences so the plan feels doable and collaborative.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video lets people use visual cues for deeper conversations, phone calls can be easier when bandwidth is limited, and chat or text can work for brief check-ins or ongoing support. These options provide flexibility for scheduling, maintaining progress, and fitting therapy into a busy life.
