About Dawn

Dawn Rochelle is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in North Carolina with 18 years of practice. She works with adults who are juggling stress, anxiety, relationship strain, parenting challenges, grief, trauma and related life changes. Dawn aims to help people find practical next steps when they feel stuck or unsure of what to do next.

She looks first for what is already working in a person's life. Dawn uses those strengths as a starting point while addressing the parts that feel unmanageable. Sessions focus on identifying priorities and coaching clients on specific actions to improve day-to-day functioning.

Dawn lists several clinical approaches she uses, including client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), EMDR, mindfulness therapy, and motivational interviewing. She describes her work as practical and action oriented, helping people recognize negative messages and replace them with clearer options for change.

Her background includes long experience with transitions, grief, anxiety, and parenting challenges. She also notes work with people from executive and high-performance backgrounds. Dawn says she supports diversity, equity, and inclusion in her community and professional life.

People seeking help with relationship communication, parenting stress, or coping after loss will find an approach that emphasizes skills, coaching, and steady problem solving. She invites clients to identify their priorities so the work can be focused and useful from the start.

How sessions work

How her approaches translate to online work

Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and following the client's priorities. In online sessions this means the therapist asks about what matters most and helps shape each meeting around those goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts and behaviors interact and offers concrete tools to change patterns. Online CBT typically involves short exercises, homework, and practical problem solving that can be reviewed between sessions.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Dawn will collaborate with each person to decide which methods feel most helpful based on their concerns, goals, and preferences. That decision can change over time as progress is made or priorities shift.

The original biography does not state which online session formats are used, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life - for example a shorter check-in during a break, a session without needing travel time, or using audio if bandwidth is limited. Licensed professionals can use online work to focus on skills, coaching, grief processing, trauma-focused strategies like EMDR when appropriate, and problem solving that fits daily routines.
