About Dawn
Dawn Reese is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Wisconsin with three years of clinical experience. She helps people dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, addiction issues, trauma, and anger. Dawn also supports concerns such as relationship strain, grief, workplace issues, and coping with life changes.
She uses a partnering approach in sessions. That means she works alongside people to clarify goals and decide what to try next. Conversations focus on practical steps and what the person wants to get from therapy rather than long lectures or one-size-fits-all plans.
Dawn draws on client-centered techniques to follow the person's lead and build on their strengths. She also uses solution-focused strategies to identify small, achievable changes. Mindfulness practices appear in sessions to help with stress, anxiety, and managing strong feelings like anger.
When trauma is part of the picture, Dawn applies trauma-focused methods aimed at reducing distress and improving daily functioning. Motivational interviewing is used when someone wants help making changes, such as reducing substance use or shifting patterns that cause conflict at work or home.
People meet with Dawn to talk through immediate problems and to develop skills they can use between sessions. She accepts people who live outside the U.S. as well. Before booking, readers should confirm current session options to match their needs.
How sessions work
Approach and what online sessions involve
Online sessions with Dawn draw on client-centered work and solution-focused strategies. Client-centered therapy means the session follows what the person brings - the therapist listens closely and helps clarify goals. Solution-focused work looks for small changes that can be put into practice quickly and measured over time, which is useful for anger that shows up at work or home.She also integrates mindfulness practices to help people notice their thoughts and bodily reactions during moments of strong emotion. Mindfulness can provide short tools for calming and for creating a pause before acting on anger. Together these approaches help address stress, anxiety, trauma-related reactions, and repeated patterns of frustration.
Finding the right mix of methods is part of the first sessions. Dawn collaborates with each person to choose approaches that match their needs and goals. That means trying techniques, checking how they worked, and adjusting the plan based on the person's feedback.
Confirm the current session options before booking so you know how sessions will be delivered. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. Licensed professionals can use these options to keep work consistent with everyday life while focusing on practical skills for managing anger.
