About Dawn

Dawn Rochelle offers calm, practical help for people who feel stuck, anxious, or unsure about next steps. She welcomes straightforward conversations and focuses on small, usable changes that make days easier. Dawn is a licensed clinical social worker, LCSW, based in North Carolina with 18 years of experience.

Her approach starts by finding what already works in a person's life. She builds on those strengths while addressing the problems that cause distress.

Background and approach

Sessions include goal setting and coaching so clients leave with clear steps to try between appointments. Dawn uses a mix of talk-based and skill-focused methods. She draws on cognitive behavioral techniques to change unhelpful thinking and on mindfulness to reduce reactivity.

She also uses eye movement desensitization and reprocessing for people processing traumatic memories. Over nearly two decades she has helped people facing stress, anxiety, grief, relationship struggles, addiction, and career strain. She also supports those dealing with parenting challenges, compassion fatigue, and attachment or abandonment wounds.

Her background includes work with executives, first responders, and others in high-stress roles. In sessions Dawn emphasizes clear communication and realistic steps. She helps people identify negative messages that hold them back and replace those with practical strategies.

The work is collaborative and focused on what each person wants to change. People meet with Dawn to manage life transitions, rebuild connection, reduce anxiety, or handle difficult losses. Her style is direct, encouraging, and results-oriented while still remaining compassionate.

Online support

How her approaches translate to online therapy

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the person's experience and priorities, helping them feel heard while they set their own goals; it works well for relationship concerns, self-esteem, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at unhelpful thoughts and behavior patterns and offers concrete strategies to change them, which is useful for anxiety, depression, and coping with stress. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, EMDR, is a therapeutic method used for processing traumatic memories and reducing their emotional intensity.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Dawn will talk with each person about symptoms, goals, and preferences and then recommend methods to try. She adjusts the plan as progress is made so the work stays focused on what the client wants to change.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which give flexibility for different needs. Video works well for deep conversations and guided exercises, phone sessions can fit a break at work or when bandwidth is limited, and messaging or live chat supports brief check-ins or ongoing coaching between appointments. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy or unpredictable schedules.
