About Dawn
Dr. Dawn Schulze helps people manage stress, anxiety, relationship struggles, trauma, grief, and life transitions. She works with adults who are trying to make sense of hard experiences and want clearer coping tools and more steady emotions.
With thirty years of experience, she speaks plainly and stays focused on practical steps that fit each person’s life. She keeps sessions collaborative. Conversations often center on patterns that keep problems going and small, achievable changes.
Background and approach
She uses exercises, skill-building, and focused talk to help people notice what’s working and what to adjust next. Her approach draws from a mix of methods, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Emotionally-Focused Therapy, Solution-Focused Therapy, and Trauma-Focused Therapy. These tools are used to reduce overwhelm, improve communication, and process difficult memories at a pace each person can tolerate.
She holds the Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor credential and is also listed as an LPC in Arizona. Dr. Schulze practices from Minnesota and brings three decades of clinical work to each session.
Her style is steady, direct, and compassionate. People come to her for help with abandonment, attachment, adoption and foster care issues, caregiver stress, chronic illness or pain, codependency, communication problems, divorce or separation, and family-of-origin concerns. Sessions also address body image, control issues, dissociation, and coping after disasters.

Online support
Therapeutic approaches for online work
Dr. Schulze commonly draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Trauma-Focused Therapy when working online. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and replacing them with practical skills to reduce anxiety and manage stress. Trauma-Focused Therapy helps people process upsetting memories and reactions at a careful pace, with techniques suited to reduce overwhelm and increase safety in daily life.She also often uses Dialectical Behavior Therapy techniques to teach emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and clearer communication. These skills are helpful for intense emotional states, relationship strain, and codependent patterns. Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to match methods to their goals, needs, and comfort level, and will adjust plans as progress is made.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls are useful when visual cues and a fuller conversation are helpful. Phone sessions can work when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text allow for brief updates, skill practice between sessions, or therapy that fits into a busy day. These options offer flexibility so therapy can fit around work, caregiving, or other responsibilities.
