About Dawn
Dawn Mumaw is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in Wisconsin who centers her work on client-led care. She focuses on helping people build self esteem, manage addictive behaviors, and cope with major life changes. Her style is calm and approachable, and she aims to make sessions feel practical and down-to-earth.
With eight years of experience, Dawn supports people facing anxiety, depression, grief, trauma and relationship struggles. She also helps those dealing with career transitions, caregiver stress, compassion fatigue, and ADHD-related concerns. Her background includes substance use work and a wide range of family-of-origin and communication issues.
Dawn uses client-centered methods that let people set the pace and direction of therapy. She also draws on mindfulness practices to reduce stress and on motivational interviewing to boost readiness for change. Narrative and solution-focused techniques help people reframe problems and build small, achievable steps forward.
In sessions she emphasizes listening first, then practical tools tailored to each person’s life. Conversations often include goal-setting, skill practice, and reflections on patterns that keep problems stuck. Dawn aims to make therapy feel useful from the start and to help people notice steady progress.
