Evidence-Informed Approaches, Made Accessible Online

In online therapy, Dawn Lucous draws from practical, skills-based methods while keeping the work compassionate and individualized. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on noticing patterns in thoughts, feelings, and behaviors, then practicing new ways of responding that better support daily functioning - often helpful for stress, anxiety, depression, and life transitions.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) emphasizes making room for difficult emotions while taking steps toward what matters most. Rather than trying to eliminate every uncomfortable feeling, ACT can help clients build psychological flexibility and reconnect with values during periods of grief, overwhelm, or change. Mindfulness-based strategies can also be used to strengthen present-moment awareness and reduce the pull of rumination and constant worry.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Dawn works collaboratively with clients to clarify goals, understand what has and has not worked before, and choose strategies that fit the client’s needs and preferences.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect, including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These options can make it easier to get support from home, maintain consistency during busy weeks, and choose a communication style that feels most comfortable.
