About Dawn
Dr. Dawn Schulze is a licensed clinical professional counselor (LCPC) and licensed professional counselor (LPC) based in Minnesota with 30 years of experience. She works with adults on stress, anxiety, relationship issues, trauma and abuse, grief, and coaching concerns. She also helps people facing attachment and family of origin issues, adoption and foster care challenges, and problems like codependency and communication difficulties.
Her sessions are straightforward and practical. She talks through current problems and helps clients develop skills that can be used day to day. That might include strategies for coping with panic or ongoing stress, ways to improve relationship communication, or methods for managing grief and loss.
Dr. Schulze draws from approaches such as cognitive behavioral methods, dialectical behavior strategies, emotionally focused ideas, solution-focused tools, and trauma-focused work. She mixes techniques based on what each person needs rather than offering a single fixed method. The focus is on clear steps and skills that can change everyday patterns.
Clients can expect a collaborative tone where goals are set together and progress is checked regularly. Sessions often center on practical practice between meetings, like new communication habits or coping skills to try in real situations. The aim is steady improvement in how someone manages stress, relationships, or recovery after trauma.
She accepts international clients and conducts sessions in English. Before booking, people should confirm the current session formats available and any local requirements that might apply.
How therapeutic approaches translate to online work
CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and testing new behaviors. Online CBT often uses short exercises and weekly practice tasks to reduce anxiety and shift patterns of worry or avoidance.DBT offers concrete skills for managing intense emotions and improving interpersonal effectiveness. Delivered remotely, DBT work can include skills coaching, emotion regulation practice, and role-play of communication techniques that suit someone juggling school or work.
Trauma-focused therapy concentrates on processing traumatic memories and reducing their day-to-day impact. In an online setting this can mean paced exposure, grounding strategies, and stabilizing practices that are reviewed and adjusted session by session.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to decide which methods fit their goals and situation. That means checking progress and shifting methods if something isn’t helping.
The biography does not specify session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit meetings into a busy schedule, allow for shorter check-ins when time is limited, and remove travel time that interrupts study or work. Licensed professionals can tailor the pacing and homework to how someone lives day to day, helping new skills stick.
