How Dori works
Sessions emphasize small, doable steps so progress feels achievable. Dori draws on Dialectical Behavior Therapy, which teaches tools for managing strong emotions and improving relationships. She also helps with parenting concerns, postpartum depression, and struggles around adoption and attachment.
Other areas she addresses include addiction, grief, anger, and life transitions. People come to her for help with self-esteem, impulse control, panic attacks, and communication problems. She works with concerns tied to ADHD, bipolar mood cycles, and disruptive mood dysregulation.
She also supports those dealing with guilt, shame, and questions about life purpose. Expect straightforward conversation and concrete practice between sessions. Dori helps clients set goals and track progress.
Her style is calm, practical, and focused on what will make day-to-day life a little easier.

Online support options
DBT and practical care delivered online
Dialectical Behavior Therapy helps people learn concrete skills for managing intense emotions and reducing impulsive reactions. It focuses on mindfulness, distress tolerance, emotion regulation, and improving interactions with others, which can help with anxiety, panic, anger, and mood instability.Dori uses DBT-informed techniques to teach short, usable strategies clients can try between sessions. She works collaboratively to figure out which skills and methods fit a person's needs, goals, and daily routines rather than imposing a single way of working.
Online appointments are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to match different schedules and preferences. Video calls allow a more face-to-face experience, phone sessions can be useful when bandwidth is limited, live chat supports quick check-ins, and text messaging can help maintain continuity between meetings. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, childcare, or other commitments while keeping care consistent and flexible.
