It has been wonderful working with Dawn. She is excellent at listening and taking things in, calming, and pays attention so details maybe overlooked can be brought to light and further discussed. She is friendly and truly a delight to work with. I always look forward to our sessions.
More about Dawn
- 16 years' experience
- Female
- LISW
As a licensed professional in Ohio with 16 years of clinical experience and specialized training in EMDR, I recognize the profound courage required to embark on a journey toward a more meaningful life. I am committed to providing compassionate, collaborative support tailored to your unique narrative, acknowledging that you are the ultimate authority on your own lived experience.
My clinical background is rooted in aging and hospice care, which has afforded me extensive expertise in navigating stress, anxiety, depression, grief, and significant life transitions. While my foundation lies in these specialized areas, my therapeutic approach is versatile and effective for clients across all developmental stages. Furthermore, I recognize that the experience of grief extends beyond the loss of a loved one to include the loss of careers, relationships, or personal independence.
In an increasingly complex world, stress and anxiety have become prevalent challenges; however, these experiences can be managed effectively through the development of practical coping strategies. Because life is defined by constant change, even positive transitions can feel unsettling, I am dedicated to helping you cultivate these strategies that are unique to your situation. Together, we will work to build the resilience necessary to navigate these shifts in circumstance while maintaining your personal well-being. I am prepared to walk alongside you throughout these intricate emotional processes.

Online counseling, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions.
Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.
