About Dawn

With 30 years in the field she brings steady experience and a calm presence. She keeps sessions straightforward and collaborative. She listens for what matters to the person sitting across from her and helps them name the patterns that get in the way.
Conversations focus on skills, new ways of responding, and steps that fit everyday life.
Background and approach
Her work draws on several evidence-informed approaches, including Emotionally-Focused Therapy, cognitive behavioral methods, and trauma-focused strategies. She tailors tools to each person's needs and pace rather than using a single method for everyone. Dr.
Schulze works with people facing a wide range of concerns, from abandonment and attachment issues to caregiver stress, chronic illness, body image, and family-of-origin wounds. She also supports those coping with divorce, blended family challenges, and the effects of disasters. Clients can expect clear guidance on practical coping skills, communication changes, and ways to build emotional resilience.
Her style is warm, direct, and goal-oriented. She aims to help people make steady, achievable change over time.

Online support
How therapy approaches translate to online care
Emotionally-Focused Therapy focuses on understanding and reshaping emotional responses in relationships and personal patterns. Online sessions using this approach help people identify core feelings and practice new ways of connecting or reacting in real time.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy centers on the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. In virtual sessions CBT is used to spot unhelpful thinking, test new behaviors, and practice skills between meetings to reduce anxiety and improve mood.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy offers concrete skills for managing intense emotions, tolerating distress, and improving interpersonal effectiveness. Delivered online, DBT skills training and coaching can support emotion regulation and steadier day-to-day functioning.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what fits their situation, then suggest methods to try. That process is collaborative and can be adjusted as progress is made.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video allows face-to-face conversation for skill practice and emotional work. Phone can be a simpler option when bandwidth is limited. Live chat or text messaging can be useful for short check-ins, homework support, or coaching-style guidance between sessions. These options make therapy more flexible and easier to fit into busy lives.
