01About Dawn
Dr. Dawn Schulze helps people who are coping with stress, anxiety, relationship strain, trauma and loss. She also works with those who want coaching to move forward after big life changes.
She is a licensed counselor with the LCPC and LPC credentials and brings 30 years of clinical experience. Dawn uses a practical, down-to-earth style in sessions. She listens first, then helps clients set simple, realistic goals.
Conversations focus on what’s happening now and on steps a person can try between meetings. <brHer work covers a wide range of concerns.
Background and approach
That includes grief and trauma, communication problems, attachment and abandonment issues, blended family dynamics, caregiver stress, chronic illness, body image, and divorce or separation. She also supports people dealing with adoption and foster care questions and family of origin difficulties. Her approach draws on a few well-known therapies to match the client’s needs.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps people notice and change unhelpful thinking and behavior. Dialectical Behavior Therapy adds practical skills for managing emotions and relationships. Trauma-Focused and Emotionally-Focused methods guide recovery after painful events and improve connections with others.
Sessions are offered in Minnesota and in English, and international clients are accepted. Dawn works with clients by phone, video calls, live chat, or text-based messaging so therapy can fit into busy lives. To begin, a person completes a short matching questionnaire and schedules an appointment.

04Online support
How specific approaches translate to online care
CBT, or Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new ways of thinking and acting. It is useful for anxiety, stress, and patterns that get in the way of daily life. DBT, or Dialectical Behavior Therapy, teaches clear skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and better communication in relationships. Those skills can be practiced and reinforced between sessions. Trauma-Focused Therapy helps people process painful events and build coping strategies to reduce the hold of traumatic memories and reactions.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before. Together they decide whether CBT, DBT, Trauma-Focused methods, or a mix of approaches will best support progress.
Online sessions make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when travel is a barrier. Phone sessions can be shorter check-ins or a lower-bandwidth option. Live chat and text-based messaging work well for brief support, tracking progress, and following up between appointments. These options give flexibility so people can use therapy in the ways that suit them best.
