About Doris
Doris Rhodes is a licensed counselor who helps people manage stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, depression, and major life changes. She brings eight years of professional experience and aims to make the first step toward support feel manageable. Doris treats each person with respect, sensitivity, and compassion.
Her style centers on tailoring conversations and plans to each person's needs. She listens first and works from what a person says is most important.
Background and approach
Sessions focus on practical steps people can try between meetings, not just talk about feelings. Doris uses a mix of approaches depending on the concern. She draws on client-centered work to follow the client's lead.
She also uses cognitive behavioral ideas to identify unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors. For people affected by traumatic memories, she can include eye movement desensitization and reprocessing as one option. Solution-focused work helps when someone wants clear, short-term goals and steps to reach them.
She notes that everyone’s path looks different, so treatment plans change over time. Conversations include practical tools for coping, emotion regulation, and communication. Doris helps people find ways to feel more grounded and move forward.
Sessions are offered from Ohio and conducted in English. Her credentials include LPCC and LPC, reflecting licensure in both states where she has practiced.
How these approaches fit into online therapy
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and following what the client says matters most. In practice this means sessions begin with the client's goals and priorities, and the therapist adapts the pace and focus to match. It is useful for people who want a supportive space to talk and set their own direction.Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, helps identify unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors. It often involves simple exercises and homework between sessions to change thinking patterns that increase anxiety or low mood. CBT is commonly used for stress, anxiety, and depression.
Eye movement desensitization and reprocessing, often called EMDR, works with distressing memories by combining focused recall with bilateral stimulation. It can be offered when trauma memories are a primary concern and a person is ready to process those memories in a paced way.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will help weigh options, try methods that fit the client's needs, and adjust plans based on progress and comfort. Decisions are collaborative and may combine elements from different methods.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility. Video fits deeper conversations when face-to-face style contact helps. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be easier to schedule on a break. Live chat or text messaging can work for shorter check-ins, brief coaching, or people who prefer typing to speaking. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life while using therapeutic approaches that match the client's goals.
