About Dawn
Dawn Ogle is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Oregon with 13 years of clinical experience. She focuses on concerns such as stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, parenting, and anger. Dawn offers a warm, nonjudgmental presence and practical help for people ready to make changes.
She keeps work straightforward and down to earth. Sessions are conversational and aim to identify what is getting in the way and what small steps might help.
Background and approach
Dawn draws on client-centered methods to make space for each person's priorities and pace. Her background includes extensive work in recovery, victims' services, and dual-diagnosis care. She has also taught psychology at community colleges, which shaped her skill at explaining things plainly.
This experience informs her approach to co-occurring issues such as addiction and mental health concerns. Dawn helps people address communication problems, guilt and shame, self-love, and women's issues. She also supports people exploring polyamory or non-monogamous relationships and those dealing with family of origin matters.
Her sessions balance practical coping strategies with reflection about values and goals. Outside of work she enjoys camping, crafting, Native American drumming and singing, rock hounding, tending house plants, and stargazing. Dawn emphasizes creating more room for joy by letting go of what isn’t working and taking steady steps toward a more fulfilling life.

How client-centered and trauma-focused work translates online
Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and following the person's lead. The therapist offers acceptance, reflection, and support while helping clients name their priorities and goals. This approach helps people who need a safe space to talk through parenting stress, anxiety, or questions about relationships.Trauma-Focused Therapy concentrates on understanding how past harm affects present life and on building skills to manage those impacts. It can help with trauma and abuse, recovery from addiction, and reducing shame by teaching ways to tolerate strong emotions and practice new responses.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with the client to decide which methods fit best based on needs, goals, and personal preferences, and will adjust the plan as progress is made.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when you want that connection. Phone sessions can be easier when you need less bandwidth or a shorter check-in. Live chat and text-based messaging make it possible to send quick updates, ask questions between sessions, or choose a format that fits a busy schedule. These options help people balance therapy with work, parenting, and day-to-day life.
