About
Teresa "Terri" Dawe, LCSW, brings 34 years of clinical and administrative experience to her practice in New Jersey. She earned an undergraduate degree from the University of South Carolina and a Master of Social Work from Rutgers University. Terri completed a Post-Master's Certificate Program in Marriage and Family Therapy at the Family Institute, now the Multicultural Family Institute, and received training in the Duluth Model of Domestic Violence.
Her career has included outpatient practice with supervision of interns and provisionally licensed clinicians, leadership roles in program development that emphasized evidence-based outcomes, and 16 years managing Employee Assistance Programs. She has also provided training and consultation to other professionals on family and couples cases and consulted with unions and human resources.
Clinically, Terri draws on a family systems framework combined with cognitive behavioral methods and motivational interviewing to explore relationship patterns, career concerns, self-esteem, and mood-related issues such as depression, anxiety, PTSD, and other mood disorders. She approaches therapy as a collaborative process that offers compassionate, nonjudgmental support while helping clients trace how past experiences shape present-day challenges.

Remote sessions with a systems-informed approach
Terri adapts a family systems lens to virtual work, helping clients map interaction patterns within relationships and understand how those patterns affect daily life. In online conversations she uses cognitive behavioral techniques to identify and work with unhelpful thinking and behavior, and motivational interviewing to explore readiness for change and build motivation for next steps.
This combination can be a fit for people who want to examine couple and blended family concerns, address self-esteem or career questions, or work through mood-related issues. Sessions emphasize collaboration, with the therapist and client jointly setting goals and choosing strategies that fit the client’s situation.
Remote appointments are available by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Prospective clients can discuss which communication format best matches their needs when they begin the process.
