About Dawn

Dawn Ducharme is a Connecticut licensed clinical social worker, LCSW (Licensed Clinical Social Worker), with 25 years of professional experience, primarily working in school settings. Over her career she has helped people manage stress and anxiety, address ADHD-related challenges, work on anger management, and build motivation, self-esteem, confidence, and coping skills for depression. She prioritizes an open, nonjudgmental atmosphere in which thoughts and feelings can be shared and examined.

Dawn collaborates with each individual to develop practical strategies and emotional insight that reflect their goals and life circumstances. She recognizes that beginning therapy requires courage and affirms clients for taking that first step toward support and change.

Evidence-Based Techniques for Online Support

Dawn employs evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical skill building and emotional understanding. One common approach centers on skills-based interventions that teach coping strategies, relaxation skills, and problem-solving tools to reduce symptoms of stress, anxiety, anger, and ADHD-related challenges. A complementary approach emphasizes supportive work for processing grief, trauma-related concerns, and relationship or family patterns, helping clients make meaning of difficult experiences and strengthen coping over time.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the process, and she works collaboratively with each client to determine what fits best. She listens to the client’s needs, goals, and preferences and adapts techniques accordingly so the care aligns with what the client hopes to achieve.

Online sessions offer flexible ways to connect, including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These options make it easier to schedule appointments around work, school, or caregiving responsibilities, maintain continuity during life transitions, and access support from home or other convenient locations.
