About Dawn

LCSW in Wisconsin with 3 years of experience. Dawn Reese focuses on trauma and abuse, self-esteem, career concerns, mood disorders, addiction, stress, anxiety, relationships, grief, and related issues.

Dawn introduces herself simply and directly. She listens first, and then works with each person to set goals. Sessions emphasize practical steps and reflective conversations rather than long theory. The biography says her style is partnering and gentle, so she aims to move at a client's pace while exploring concerns together.

Her approach draws from client-centered, mindfulness, motivational interviewing, solution-focused, and trauma-focused methods. That means sessions can include focused problem solving, building motivation for change, attention to present-moment experience, and work on traumatic memories when appropriate. Dawn uses these tools to address symptoms and everyday problems alike.

Dawn's background is in social work and she holds the credential Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW. She practices in Wisconsin and conducts therapy in English. The profile notes she accepts international clients, so people outside the U.S. may be able to arrange sessions.

Practical matters are kept clear. Cost varies by location and sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time. To begin, a person selects the See online therapy options button, completes a short matching questionnaire, and schedules a first session. This helps match goals and logistics before the first meeting.

How her approaches translate to online sessions

Client-Centered Therapy centers the person's concerns and priorities. In practice this means sessions focus on what matters most to the individual and the therapist follows the person's lead in setting goals and pace. This approach fits problems like low self-esteem, relationship questions, and general life stress.

Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention skills and grounded exercises. Online meetings can include short guided practices and coaching on everyday ways to notice thoughts and sensations, which can help with anxiety, stress, and mood regulation.

Motivational Interviewing helps people find reasons to change and build personal motivation. In sessions the therapist uses open questions and reflective listening to move from ambivalence to action, useful for addictions, workplace change, or career decisions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose which methods to use based on their goals, needs, and preferences. That selection can shift over time as progress is reviewed.

Confirm the specific session formats before booking since the biography does not list them. Online appointments can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life - for example a shorter check-in during a work break, or a session that avoids travel time. Ask about available formats when scheduling so sessions match practical needs and daily routine.
