About Dawn

Dawn Meadow is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) based in Tennessee who focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, trauma, and relationship concerns.

Background and approach

With 22 years of clinical experience, she creates a welcoming atmosphere where clients can explore challenging feelings like shame, grief, and isolation while building practical skills for daily life. Dawn emphasizes strengths and resilience as clients work through issues such as parenting struggles, addictions, self-esteem concerns, and coping with major life changes.

Her work draws from several evidence-informed approaches, including cognitive behavioral techniques to address unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, attachment-based perspectives to examine relational patterns, and client-centered methods that prioritize the person’s own goals and pace.

Dawn also brings understanding to complex topics like domestic violence, infidelity, multicultural concerns, and compassion fatigue, offering space to process emotions and develop clearer communication. She recognizes that beginning therapy takes courage and aims to partner with clients to set realistic steps toward greater wellbeing.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online care



Dawn integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and attachment-based ideas to guide online sessions. CBT focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thought and behavior patterns, which can be useful for anxiety, panic symptoms, depressive thinking, and habit-related concerns. Attachment-based work explores how early and current relationships influence emotional responses and communication, helping clients address issues like intimacy-related difficulties, trust, and relational conflicts.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Dawn treats this as a collaborative exploration. She works with clients to clarify goals, experiment with techniques, and adjust methods based on what feels most helpful for each person’s needs and preferences.

Online therapy with her includes video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to accommodate different schedules and comfort levels. These formats offer flexibility for busy lives, allow consistent contact between sessions when appropriate, and make it easier to access licensed professionals from home or work while continuing to focus on practical strategies and emotional processing.
