About Dawn
Dawn Shelley Wann is an LPC and LMHC practicing in Missouri. She brings 14 years of clinical experience to relationships, anxiety, trauma, and a wide range of life stresses. She speaks English and offers help through several online formats including video, phone, live chat, and text messaging.
She focuses on helping people manage anxiety, depression, grief, and reactions after trauma or abuse. She also supports people dealing with parenting strain, intimacy concerns, anger, and challenges tied to ADHD and bipolar mood patterns.
Background and approach
Dawn works with attachment and abandonment worries and many related relationship issues. Her approach draws on Emotionally-Focused Therapy alongside Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, client-centered methods, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Dialectical Behavior Therapy. In sessions she listens for what matters most, helps name strong emotions, and practices steps that reduce overwhelm.
The work is collaborative and paced to what each person can handle. People can use practical tools learned in sessions to manage stressful moments and improve communication. Dawn also helps identify patterns that keep people stuck and supports changes that feel right for them.
Her background includes longstanding clinical work across community settings over 14 years. To begin, a short matching questionnaire is used to connect with the service and schedule sessions based on therapist availability. Costs vary with location and use a subscription model that can be canceled at any time.

Online support
Using emotion-focused and skill-based approaches online
Emotionally-Focused Therapy helps people identify and work with strong emotions that shape relationships and personal patterns. It emphasizes noticing feelings, understanding what they signal, and responding in ways that create more connection and less reactivity.Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people clarify their values and take committed action even when unwanted thoughts or feelings are present. It teaches acceptance strategies alongside practical behavior changes to address anxiety, stress, and life transitions.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Dawn will talk with each person about their goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful. Together they decide whether emotion-focused work, ACT, or other techniques will guide the sessions and adjust as progress is made.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to fit different needs. Video makes it easier to read facial cues and practice conversations. Phone calls can be a good option when bandwidth is limited or for brief check-ins. Live chat and text messaging allow quick check-ins, reflection over time, and care that fits into a busy day. These options make scheduling more flexible and help people access therapy from varied locations.
