About Dawn
Dawn Rayburn is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Alabama who focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, anger, and life changes. She centers work on each person’s strengths and practical steps they can use day to day. Dawn uses clear, direct conversations so clients leave sessions with something to try between meetings.
With 20 years of experience, Dawn blends listening with tools that help people regain control. She draws on client-centered ideas to follow what matters most to each person.
Background and approach
She also uses cognitive behavioral techniques to spot patterns in thinking and test new behaviors in small, manageable steps. People come to her for support with parenting concerns, self-esteem, motivation, ADHD-related difficulties, and compassion fatigue. She also addresses grief, communication problems, divorce and separation, and coping after natural or human-caused disasters.
Dawn frames challenges in everyday language and works alongside clients to set practical goals. Sessions are meant to be collaborative. Dawn helps clients identify small changes that add up over time, such as new routines, communication habits, or coping strategies for intense feelings.
She explains techniques and helps people adapt them to real life. Dawn’s style is straightforward and respectful. She encourages people who feel stuck to try writing down what matters, testing one small change, and checking what worked.
For those juggling caregiving, work, or parenting, she focuses on steps that fit busy lives.

How her approaches translate to online therapy
Client-Centered Therapy means the session starts with what matters most to the person seeking help. The therapist listens without judgment and follows the client's priorities, helping them name goals and decide what to try next. This approach works well for stress, parenting concerns, and figuring out life direction.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It involves noticing unhelpful thinking, testing new ideas, and practicing different behaviors. CBT can be useful for anxiety, anger, low self-esteem, and impulsivity by giving clear exercises and step-by-step tasks.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with each person about their needs, goals, and preferences, then suggest ways to combine listening and practical techniques. Clients help shape the plan and can change course if something isn't working.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to fit different schedules and needs. Video calls are good for face-to-face interaction and skill practice. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can fit a break at work. Live chat and text messaging allow brief check-ins, written reflections, or follow-up between longer sessions. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent while balancing daily life.
