Evidence-Based Therapy Approaches, Made Accessible Online

Dr. Dawn Schulze draws from established, practical methods to help clients navigate stress, anxiety, relationship strain, grief, and the effects of trauma and abuse.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on the connection between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It can help clients identify unhelpful patterns and practice new ways of responding, which can be especially useful when anxiety, stress, or self-doubt feel overwhelming.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) emphasizes skills for managing intense emotions, tolerating distress, and improving communication. It is often helpful for clients who want concrete tools to stay grounded and make choices that align with their values, even during hard moments.

Trauma-Focused Therapy offers a structured way to work through the impact of painful experiences at a pace that feels manageable. The goal is to support understanding, coping, and forward movement without rushing the process.

Finding the right approach is part of therapy. Dr. Schulze works collaboratively with clients to clarify goals, understand preferences, and shape sessions around what is most helpful now.
