About Dawn
Dr. Dawn Schulze is a licensed clinician with 30 years of experience helping people through stressful life changes and emotional pain. She works with clients facing anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, relationship concerns, and coaching for next steps. Many seek her support around adoption and foster care matters or long-standing attachment and abandonment issues.
Her style is warm and collaborative. She listens first, then helps clients set clear goals and practical steps. Sessions focus on real-world strategies people can use between meetings, not just talking about problems.
Dawn uses a mix of approaches to fit each person. That can include cognitive behavioral techniques to change unhelpful thinking, emotion-focused work to clarify patterns in relationships, and trauma-informed methods to process painful memories. She adapts methods to match a client's pace and needs.
Clients can expect a straightforward, down-to-earth tone. Dawn aims to help people build resilience and clearer communication. She supports people working through complex family history, caregiving stress, chronic illness, body image worries, and the ripple effects of separation or divorce.
Dr. Schulze holds the LCPC and LPC credentials and practices from Minnesota. She works in English and welcomes people from other countries who want to connect about their concerns.
How therapeutic approaches translate to online work
CBT, or Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them against real-life evidence. It often uses short exercises and homework to change patterns of thinking that feed anxiety or low mood.Trauma-Focused Therapy helps people process upsetting memories and learn grounding skills to manage intense emotions. It breaks down traumatic experiences into manageable steps so memories feel less overwhelming over time.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and then suggest methods to try. That plan can change as progress is made, with choices made together rather than imposed.
Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy routine. Many people find remote sessions reduce travel time and let them schedule shorter check-ins when needed. Confirm which session formats are offered for this therapist before booking so you know what to expect. Licensed professionals can adapt CBT and trauma-focused tools to remote sessions, using exercises and pacing that suit each person.
