About Dawn

Dawn Ducharme is a licensed social worker in Connecticut with 25 years of professional experience, most of which was spent working in school-based settings. She holds an LCSW, which stands for Licensed Clinical Social Worker, a credential that reflects advanced clinical training in social work and therapeutic practice.

Over the course of her career she has supported people facing stress, anxiety, anger, challenges with attention and motivation, low self-esteem, confidence issues, and depression. Her work often focuses on practical strategies and skill building to help clients manage day-to-day difficulties and regain a sense of control.

Dawn emphasizes an open, nonjudgmental space where thoughts and feelings can be shared honestly. She aims to create an atmosphere of respect and understanding so clients can explore concerns and try new approaches at a comfortable pace. She also recognizes that starting therapy can require courage and affirms the effort it takes to seek help.

Currently she is not accepting new clients.

Evidence-Based Techniques and Online Care

Dawn uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that emphasize practical skill building to address symptoms like anxiety, stress, attention difficulties, and low mood. These approaches help clients develop concrete coping strategies, organizational habits, and problem-solving skills that can be applied in everyday situations.

She also employs emotion regulation and anger management strategies drawn from proven therapeutic practices to help people better understand and manage intense feelings, reduce impulsive reactions, and improve interpersonal responses. In work with families and relationship concerns she focuses on communication skills and collaborative problem solving to strengthen connections and resolve conflicts.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the process, and Dawn works collaboratively with each person to determine which techniques fit their needs, goals, and preferences. Together they explore options and adjust strategies over time to find the best path forward.

Online therapy offers flexibility and accessibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, allowing people to engage in care from locations that work for them and at times that fit their schedules. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care and to use therapeutic tools between sessions, supporting steady progress toward personal goals.
