About Dawn
Dawn Shelley Wann is a licensed professional counselor who focuses on practical, steady support for people dealing with anger, stress, and anxiety. She works to help people understand what drives their reactions and build clearer habits for daily life. Dawn keeps language simple and aims to make the first steps easier for worried parents and busy adults.
Dawn uses conversation and focused exercises to help people manage emotions that feel overwhelming.
Background and approach
She often blends approaches that encourage present-moment acceptance, change through action, and skills for emotional regulation. Sessions look at what matters to each person and then build small, realistic steps forward. She brings 14 years of professional experience and holds LPC and LMHC credentials.
Dawn has worked with adults and adolescents on issues such as trauma, grief, relationship concerns, parenting strain, and mood conditions. Her background includes work with people coping with ADHD, compassion fatigue, and life transitions. Dawn favors approaches that teach practical tools as well as reflection.
Clients can expect to practice breathing and grounding, try behavior-based experiments between sessions, and talk through values that guide decisions. Progress is tracked in simple, everyday terms so gains are easy to notice. Therapy with Dawn aims to be collaborative.
She listens first, clarifies what each person wants to change, and then helps put together a step-by-step plan. The focus is on usable skills and steadier responses, not on quick fixes.

Therapeutic approaches you can use online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, focuses on noticing thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them. It helps people decide what matters most and take small steps toward those values even when emotions are strong. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect and uses practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns. CBT is often used for anxiety, anger, and depression. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, emphasizes skills for managing intense emotions and improving interpersonal effectiveness. It provides concrete tools for emotional regulation and coping under stress.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the process. Dawn works together with each person to choose methods that match their goals, needs, and preferences. She listens to what has helped before and what feels realistic now, then adjusts the plan as progress is made.
Online therapy with Dawn is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video works well for face-to-face conversation and skill demonstrations. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and messaging let people share thoughts between sessions or fit support into a busy day. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent while balancing family, work, and other responsibilities.
