More about Dawn

3 years' experience
Female
LCSW

I am a Liscensced Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with over 10 year experience working with individuals of various backgrounds struggling with life changes and seeking significant change. I have experience working with anxiety, depression, life changes, grief and loss, trauma, or simply with individuals seeking a deeper personal understanding.

I am most comfortable using a combination of therapeutic techniques to create a casual, collaborative and interactive exchange. I find that a person-centered, strengths-focused approach is a good foundation in which other techniques, such as cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) or mindfulness can be incorporated to best match your personality and situation.

I understand that it can be difficult to take the first steps toward seeking help. I look forward to getting to know you and to working together to establish goals, focus on your objectives and work toward making positive change in your life.

About online counseling

Affordable.: Pay a low flat fee.
Convenient.: Do it at your own time and at your own pace. Communicate whenever you feel it's needed.
Available now.: There is no waiting list and no calls to make. Simply fill out a short questionnaire and send your first message.

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.
