About Dawn

Dawn Rochelle is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) with 18 years of practice who helps people clarify priorities and take practical steps toward a more manageable life. She often works with individuals navigating stress, anxiety, grief, relationship struggles, and the everyday challenges that make decision-making feel overwhelming.

Background and approach

Dawn’s background in trauma-informed work and EMDR informs a calm, strengths-based stance that looks for what is already working and builds from there. Her style blends coaching and clinical therapy to support clients through transitions, career concerns, parenting challenges, and issues tied to identity and addictions.

Dawn uses skills-building, visioning, and solution-focused strategies alongside cognitive behavioral and mindfulness techniques to reduce unhelpful patterns and increase coping options. She emphasizes identifying and removing negative messages that interfere with well-being while guiding clients toward concrete changes.

Located in North Carolina and fluent in English, she offers services to a diverse caseload and accepts international clients who wish to work remotely.

Therapeutic Approaches and Remote Care



Dawn frequently uses Client-Centered Therapy, which centers the client's experience and priorities so sessions focus on what matters most to the individual and build on existing strengths. This approach helps people gain clarity and confidence as they decide next steps. She also brings Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) into her work, using practical techniques to identify and shift thought patterns and behaviors that contribute to stress, anxiety, or relationship difficulties. CBT supports measurable skill development for everyday coping.

Finding the right approach is part of the process, and Dawn treats therapy as a collaborative effort. She partners with clients to identify goals, then blends coaching and therapeutic methods to match preferences and needs. If trauma processing is needed, she integrates trauma-informed strategies alongside skills work so clients progress at a pace that fits their capacity and priorities.

Online therapy with Dawn is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility for busy schedules and different comfort levels. These options make it easier to attend regularly, practice new skills between sessions, and keep momentum during life transitions or when in-person meetings are impractical.
