About Dawn

Dawn Rayburn is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Alabama who focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, parenting concerns, self-esteem, and major life transitions.

Background and approach

With 20 years of clinical experience, she centers care on each person’s strengths and lived knowledge, guiding clients to build confidence and practical coping skills. Dawn emphasizes collaboration and respects that clients are experts on their own stories while offering structure when people need it most.

Her approach blends client-centered principles with evidence-based cognitive behavioral techniques to address issues such as grief, anger, compassion fatigue, and challenges related to attention and impulsivity including ADHD. She also works with concerns tied to caregiver stress, communication difficulties, relationship changes like divorce and separation, pregnancy and childbirth, seasonal mood shifts, and social anxiety.

Dawn invites those ready to take a step toward change to begin with a short matching questionnaire and schedule sessions according to her availability.

Approaches and Online Options for Practical Change

Client-centered therapy focuses on listening deeply and affirming each person’s perspective so goals can emerge from what matters most to the client; it helps people build confidence and access their own strengths. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) teaches concrete strategies to identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which can be useful for anxiety, mood concerns, impulsivity, and stress-related problems.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with clients to explore goals, preferences, and how symptoms show up in daily life, then tailor techniques from client-centered work and CBT to fit the individual’s needs rather than prescribing a single method from the start.

Online therapy with this practice is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These formats make it easier to attend regularly, try different pacing, and maintain continuity of care when in-person visits are impractical, while allowing licensed professionals to deliver the same therapeutic principles across remote options.
