About Dawn
Dawn Reese is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who focuses on helping people manage strong emotions and the problems that come with them. She listens without judgment and helps clients find straightforward ways to feel more in control. Dawn aims to make sessions calm and practical for people who are stressed, anxious, grieving, or struggling with anger.
Dawn uses simple, goal-oriented techniques that fit into everyday life. She draws on client-centered work to follow what matters most to each person.
Background and approach
She also uses mindfulness to help people notice thoughts and feelings without getting overwhelmed. Motivational interviewing and solution-focused methods help clients set small, realistic goals and take steady steps forward. She has three years of formal experience as an LCSW working in Wisconsin.
That background includes helping people with mood disorders, addiction-related concerns, and long-term stress. Dawn also supports clients dealing with caregiver strain, chronic illness, codependency, workplace pressure, and relationship problems. In a typical session she will listen first, then suggest practical tools you can try between meetings.
She collaborates on a plan based on what you want to change and what feels doable. Sessions often include brief skill practice, goal checking, and adjustments as needed. People looking for help with anger, grief, self-esteem, or life transitions may find her approach a good fit.
Dawn works with individuals to build coping skills, improve communication, and reduce the impact of intense emotions.

Approaches that translate well to online therapy
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and following what matters to you. The therapist reflects your concerns, helps you name priorities, and works at your pace to set useful goals. Mindfulness therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices that reduce reactivity and help with anxiety, anger, and stress. These practices are easy to learn in a video or phone session and can be practiced between meetings. Motivational interviewing helps you clarify what change looks like and build momentum toward it. It uses short conversations to resolve mixed feelings and encourage steady steps forward.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with you to choose methods that match your goals, needs, and comfort level. That means trying tools, checking what helps, and adjusting the plan together so it fits your life.
Online sessions make it easier to fit therapy into a busy routine through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video is useful for in-depth conversations and skill practice. Phone calls work well when bandwidth or camera use is limited. Live chat and text let you check in between sessions or use shorter, focused check-ins during the week. These options give flexibility for scheduling, quick follow-ups, and steady progress without travel.
