More about Dawn
- 6 years' experience
- Female
- LCSW
I am a veteran with 9 years of active duty experience so I have first hand knowledge of work stress, deployments, reintegration, and transitioning to civilian life. I completed graduate school at Louisiana State University then spent the last 6 years as a Social Worker with mostly inpatient experience which means I have seen individuals at their absolute worst and have been able to assist them with gaining stability and begin the process of gaining a better quality life. I most recently facilitated substance abuse group therapy with active duty members. I use a patient-centered approach and evidence-based intervention techniques to support clients in creating and living their best lives. I use a person-centered approach with a focus on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) for treating depression and anxiety by challenging negative thought patterns and inaccurate core beliefs. I use Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) to treat interpersonal issues, emotional dysregulation, and distress tolerance. I use Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT) to treat PTSD and trauma related disorders. I also use attachment-based theories, mindfulness, internal family systems, and positive psychology when required. I prefer to use a multimodal approach for treating substance abuse and co-occurring disorders.

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.
