More about Dawn

  • 8 years' experience
  • Female
  • LCSW

I am licensed as a Clinical Social Worker and Substance Abuse Counselor in Wisconsin with 6 years of professional work experience. I have experience in helping clients with coping with addictions, motivation, self esteem, confidence, career difficulties, & coping with life changes. I work with my clients to create an open and safe environment where thoughts and feelings can be shared without fear of judgment. My therapy style is laid back and I tend to bring a bit of humor into discussions. I've been told I am patient, understanding and insightful. I will typically respond to messages or inquiries within 24 hours. Taking the first step to seeking a more fulfilling and happier life takes courage. I am here to support you in that process.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.

Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.
