About Dawn
Dr. Dawn Schulze is a licensed clinician with 30 years of experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, relationship strain, grief, trauma recovery, and money and financial issues. She works with individuals who are navigating big life changes or feeling stuck. Her style is straightforward and caring, aiming to help people find practical ways forward.
Dr. Schulze keeps sessions collaborative. She listens for what matters most, then helps clients set small, doable goals. Conversations often include skills for managing strong feelings, improving communication, and deciding next steps when life feels overwhelming.
Her background includes a long career in clinical care and coaching-style support. That practical experience shapes how she blends problem-solving with emotional work. She uses methods that aim to reduce distress and increase day-to-day functioning.
Dr. Schulze draws on several evidence-based approaches to match each person’s needs. She may use techniques that focus on thoughts and behaviors, skills for emotional regulation, or work that centers on relationships and connection. The choice of method depends on each client’s goals.
Clients can expect clear explanations about why a technique is being used and what to try between sessions. The focus is on building tools that fit real life - coping strategies, communication practices, and ways to manage grief or trauma reactions. Her goal is steady, practical progress over time.
Approaches you might use in online sessions
Dr. Schulze commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Trauma-Focused Therapy in her work. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and helps people try small behavior changes to reduce anxiety and improve daily routines. Trauma-Focused Therapy concentrates on helping people understand and process traumatic events and reduce distressing reactions over time.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. She will talk with each person about problems, goals, and preferences, then recommend strategies that fit. That collaborative planning makes it easier to try techniques and adjust them as needed.
Confirm current session options before booking since formats are not listed here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. It can also let someone continue work on trauma, anxiety, or relationship skills even when life is in flux. The therapist and client can decide together how often to meet and which methods to use to get steady progress.
