Dawn Ogle , LPC

Dawn Ogle is an Oregon-based Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 13 years of clinical experience who approaches therapy with compassion and a nonjudgmental attitude. She also holds a CADCIII credential, a level three certification for work with alcohol and drug concerns, and has extensive experience in recovery services, victims' services, and dual-diagnosis care. Dawn has taught at Rogue Community College and Southern Oregon University, and she combines clinical knowledge with practical experience to support people facing complex challenges.

Her clinical work centers on stress and anxiety, addictions and recovery, trauma and abuse, parenting and family of origin issues, anger, and support for women's concerns and polyamorous or non-monogamous relationships. She also addresses co-morbidity, communication problems, guilt and shame, and building self-love. Dawn emphasizes helping people let go of patterns that no longer serve them and creating more room for joy, guiding clients toward greater happiness and fulfillment through focused therapeutic work.

Outside of practice she enjoys camping, crafting, Native American drumming and singing, rock hounding, tending house plants, travel, playing music with friends, and stargazing. Her approach is rooted in respect and collaboration, offering steady support as clients take steps toward meaningful change and personal growth.

Therapeutic Approaches for Online Trauma and Recovery

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on creating an accepting and empathetic space where the client guides the pace and direction of work. This approach helps people feel heard and respected as they explore issues like anxiety, self-esteem, relationships, and life transitions, and supports personal growth through collaboration and reflection.

Trauma-Focused Therapy provides focused strategies to address the effects of traumatic experiences, using evidence-informed techniques to process difficult memories and reduce symptoms that interfere with daily life. It is often used for survivors of abuse, those coping with complex trauma, and people managing co-occurring challenges such as addiction.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Dawn works collaboratively with each person to identify methods that match their needs, goals, and preferences. She helps clients try different techniques and refines the plan together so therapy feels relevant and effective.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can take place by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging - allowing people to access licensed professionals from home, while fitting work into busy schedules, managing transportation needs, or maintaining continuity of care during life changes. These options make it easier to engage in consistent work toward recovery and well-being.
