About Dawn Hutson
Dawn integrates evidence-based interventions such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) to teach coping strategies and emotional regulation skills. Her client-centered approach prioritizes listening, respect, and collaboration so clients can shape the pace and focus of therapy. Using a trauma-informed lens, she aims to understand how past events influence present challenges and to support clients in building sustainable tools for daily life.
She works with a broad range of concerns including parenting and family dynamics, communication problems, mood disorders, post-traumatic stress, anger, self-esteem, and feelings of isolation. Dawn values practical application - progress in therapy often depends on practicing skills outside sessions - and she partners with clients to set achievable steps toward their goals.
Outside of her clinical work, Dawn enjoys exploring Montana with her family through camping and hiking, and she pursues creative hobbies like pottery, crafts, and trying new recipes at home.

Evidence-Based Approaches for Online Care
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on creating a respectful, empathetic environment where the client directs the pace and goals of work while the therapist offers support and validation. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps people identify unhelpful thoughts and patterns and then practice concrete strategies to change behaviors and reduce symptoms. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) emphasizes skills in emotion regulation, distress tolerance, interpersonal effectiveness, and mindfulness to help manage intense emotions and improve relationships.
Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the process, and Dawn works collaboratively with clients and licensed professionals to determine which methods best match a person’s needs, goals, and preferences. Together they explore what feels most helpful and adjust strategies as progress is made.
Online therapy formats such as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging offer flexibility for people with busy schedules, mobility limits, or geographical barriers. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care, practice skills between sessions, and access support from home or on the go while working with a therapist who uses evidence-based tools.
