About Dawn
Dawn Reese is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) who focuses on work and wellbeing alongside everyday life challenges. She helps people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, depression, relationship troubles, or changes at work. Dawn uses a calm, partnering style so people can feel heard and take steps forward at their own pace.
She works with concerns such as trauma and abuse, caregiving stress, chronic illness, addictions, and grief. Dawn also supports people dealing with workplace issues, communication problems, low self-esteem, and intimacy-related struggles. She brings attention to practical problems and emotional patterns to help people regain stability.
Dawn draws on client-centered therapy to follow each person's priorities and build trust. She also uses mindfulness practices to help with stress and anxiety, and motivational interviewing to support change when people feel stuck. Trauma-focused and solution-focused techniques are used when they match a person's needs.
Her listed experience is three years as an LCSW practicing in Wisconsin. Sessions are offered in English and Dawn accepts international clients. The therapist asks people to choose their path together and tailors work to each person's goals.
If someone wants to begin, the process involves a short matching questionnaire and scheduling a time that fits. Dawn describes her work as gentle and collaborative, aimed at helping people find clearer next steps and more manageable daily routines.
How these approaches translate to online work
Client-centered therapy focuses on following what matters most to the person. The therapist listens closely, reflects concerns back, and helps set goals the person actually wants to reach. This approach helps when someone needs a space to sort priorities and make decisions.Mindfulness therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce stress and reactivity. It can be helpful for anxiety, mood swings, or chronic stress by offering small tools to use during the day. Motivational interviewing is a short-term, goal-focused way to talk through ambivalence and build motivation to change habits or behaviors.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Dawn will collaborate with each person to test methods and pick what feels most useful. That could mean trying mindfulness skills for a few weeks, then adding solution-focused steps to handle a workplace problem.
The therapist's profile does not list specific session formats, so confirm available options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow brief check-ins around work or caregiving. It also lets people use practices from home between sessions and bring real-life situations into conversation for practical problem solving.
