Approaches used in remote sessions and how they help
Dawn uses evidence-based techniques that focus on changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. Cognitive behavioral approaches break down troubling thoughts and test them against experience, which can reduce anxiety, depression, panic, and OCD symptoms. These methods also support building new habits for daily functioning.She also incorporates approaches she describes as energy psychology, which aim to address emotional responses alongside cognitive work. Those methods are used to help people process reactions tied to trauma, attachment wounds, or intense stress when combined with other therapeutic strategies.
Choosing an approach is collaborative. Dawn will review goals, symptoms, and preferences and then suggest methods to try. Sessions typically include goal-setting, skills practice, and steps to work on between meetings so progress can be tracked and adjusted together.
