Dawn Rochelle, LCSW

Dawn Rochelle is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) who helps people navigate major life shifts and everyday struggles. She focuses on practical steps that make days more manageable while guiding clients toward longer-term change. Dawn emphasizes clear goals and coaching to move from stuck to forward motion.

She begins by finding what already works in a person's life. Those strengths become the starting point for building new habits and coping skills. Dawn uses coaching and problem-solving to address priorities the client sets, so work in sessions feels relevant and doable.

Her background spans 18 years of clinical practice and broader professional experience that includes executive coaching and wellness work. That range informs a focus on life transitions, grief, and anxiety, as well as helping people improve communication and relationship dynamics. She also supports parents who struggle with the gap between unconditional love and frustration with challenging behaviors.

Dawn integrates a few structured methods in her work, including cognitive behavioral techniques, mindfulness, and eye movement desensitization and reprocessing when appropriate. She adapts tools to fit each person's goals rather than following a single formula.

People who come to her often want down-to-earth guidance, clearer priorities, and workable plans. Dawn aims to coach clients through obstacles while honoring their values and long-term vision.

How therapeutic approaches guide online work

Client-Centered Therapy asks the therapist to follow the client's lead, listen closely, and build on what matters most to the person. It helps when someone needs space to explore values and make choices at their own pace.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions link together. It uses short exercises and clear steps to change unhelpful patterns, which can help with anxiety, depression, and coping during life transitions.

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) focuses on processing distressing memories so they cause less disruption in daily life. It can be useful for people dealing with trauma and longstanding upsetting events.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each client to choose methods that fit their goals, preferences, and the issues they bring. That decision is revisited over time to make sure the plan stays relevant.

For practical matters, confirm the therapist's current session options before booking since formats were not specified in the profile. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, allow for shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time so therapy can happen around work or family commitments.
