About Dora
Dora Gonzalez is a Licensed Professional Counselor who helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and the effects of trauma and abuse. She also supports people facing life transitions and those wanting to build self-esteem and stronger communication skills. Dora keeps sessions straightforward and focused.

Background and approach
In sessions she uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to address emotional wounds and current struggles. That means drawing on methods shown to help with mood, coping, and relationship difficulties, adapted to each person’s situation. Dora takes a collaborative approach.
She works with each person to set goals and choose steps that feel doable. Progress often comes from practicing new ways of thinking, experimenting with different behaviors, and learning to respond to stress more effectively. Her work is informed by three years of counseling experience and a Texas LPC credential.
Dora provides care in English and Spanish and offers several online session formats to fit different schedules. She aims to help people get unstuck and move toward more stable days.
Approaches that guide online work and practical benefits
Many of Dora's sessions draw on evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on changing unhelpful thinking and strengthening coping skills. These approaches help people notice stressful thought patterns, test them against reality, and practice alternative responses to reduce anxiety and low mood.She also uses techniques aimed at processing the effects of trauma and abuse in manageable steps. This type of work helps people make sense of painful experiences and build emotional regulation skills so difficult memories and triggers feel less overwhelming.
Finding the right approach is part of therapy. She works together with each person to pick methods that match their goals, comfort level, and daily life. That collaborative process means plans are adjusted as progress is made and new needs appear.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation when connection and visual cues matter. Phone sessions can be helpful when bandwidth is limited or for a focused check-in. Live chat and text messaging work well for brief check-ins, ongoing support between sessions, or when typing feels easier than talking. These options offer flexibility for scheduling and for fitting work on skills into a busy life.
