Dawn Clay, LCSW

Dawn Clay is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Indiana with 20 years of professional experience. She helps people who are managing stress, anxiety, grief, parenting concerns, low self-esteem, motivation issues, and anger. Her work also addresses sleep problems, career stress, relationship strain, and compassion fatigue.

Dawn uses straightforward conversation to find what matters most to each person. She encourages honest talk about feelings and reactions. Sessions focus on understanding patterns that lead to snapping, resentment, or buildup of frustration. The aim is to notice what triggers angry responses and to try different ways of handling those moments.

She draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques to guide practical changes. That can mean learning skills to calm down in the moment, practicing different communication moves, or shifting daily routines that add to stress. Dawn also supports people through grief, life transitions, and caregiver strain with attention to real-life demands.

Her background includes two decades of varied clinical work in Indiana. That experience informs a practical approach that connects emotional patterns to everyday situations. Dawn helps people break problems down into small steps that can fit into busy lives.

People who work with her can expect plain language and direct focus on problems they brought in. She asks clear questions, listens for patterns, and suggests manageable strategies to try between sessions. This is therapy aimed at steady change rather than quick fixes.
