Dr. Denise Dawson

Licensed Clinical Social Workers

I'm a licensed therapist and research professor with a background in social work and public health. I enjoy supporting clients facing mental health and chronic illness challenges. Taking the first step isn’t easy but since you're here, take the next one and book a session. You’ll be glad you did!

About Me

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker based in Raleigh, North Carolina. I work with people facing addiction, mood disorders, chronic illness, abuse, and eating disorders. I provide counseling, social work services, and online therapy.

Approach

Sessions move at a steady, practical pace—focused, compassionate, and tailored to the realities of managing mood shifts, addiction, and chronic illness. I meet with adults, couples and parents in Raleigh and across North Carolina, and online in English, creating a predictable, secure space that respects energy limits and daily demands. We set small, achievable goals, practice skills in-session, and translate them into brief experiments between meetings so progress is measurable and flexible. People balancing health, relationships, and recovery often find this approach grounding.
