About the author

Dawn Huebner, PhD, is a psychologist, parent coach, and the author of 18 books (and growing) including the bestselling What to Do When You Worry Too Much and Outsmarting Worry.
Dr. Huebner recognized the need for lively, easy-to-read take-home materials to help children practice the strategies they were learning in her office. She created a format effective for 6-12-year olds – the What to Do Guides for Kids - teaching complex psychological concepts using metaphors, language, and humor easily understood by children. Her newer books maintain her distinctive voice while adding a layer of detail and sophistication appreciated by older children.
All of Dr. Huebner’s books echo her philosophy - that children can and should be taught to help themselves, and that they are capable of overcoming even stuck-seeming challenges. Dr. Huebner’s books sell briskly around the world, and have been translated into 23 languages. She has been featured on the TODAY Show, CNN, WebMD and many other news and information outlets, and is frequently interviewed by popular parenting magazines. Dr. Huebner’s TEDx talk on Rethinking Anxiety has been viewed over a million times.
Dr. Huebner enjoys hearing from readers. She is always at work on her next book...
