Dawn Cheetham, LCSW

Dawn Cheetham is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in New Jersey who helps people move past whatever is holding them back from living fully. She frames therapy as a place to address concerns that may feel difficult to share with friends or family, and she focuses on practical strategies to reduce stress, manage anxiety and anger, and improve mood and self-esteem. With 19 years of clinical experience, she has developed expertise in treating depression, adjustment difficulties, caregiver stress, older adult issues, relationship and family challenges, grief, parenting concerns, career-related stress, bipolar disorder, compassion fatigue, ADHD, and panic disorder.

Dawn blends Client-Centered therapy with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to tailor care to each person’s needs, helping clients identify goals, explore patterns, and build skills for coping and change. She offers both day and evening appointment times to accommodate different schedules and places an emphasis on a respectful, collaborative therapeutic relationship. Her approach aims to help individuals clarify what matters most to them and learn concrete tools to navigate life transitions and recurring problems, so they can move forward with greater confidence and balance.
