About Dorothy
Dorothy Katsiyiannis is a Licensed Professional Counselor who focuses on helping people handle stress and anxiety. She works with adults facing relationship strain, grief, low self-esteem, and depression. Her style emphasizes respect for each person's story and strengths.
Taking a first step toward change is recognized as a courageous move, and she aims to provide steady support through that process. With five years of experience as an LPC, Dorothy blends practical strategies with a warm, client-centered approach.
Background and approach
She believes people are the experts on their own lives and builds sessions around what matters most to them. Conversations move toward clear, manageable goals rather than long lists of tasks. She commonly uses techniques from cognitive behavioral therapy to identify unhelpful thinking patterns and to try small behavioral changes that can reduce anxiety and lift mood.
Solution-focused methods help clients discover workable next steps when feeling stuck, and client-centered work makes room for empathy and listening. Dorothy explains ideas plainly and helps people try them between sessions. Her practice is based in Colorado and she communicates in English.
Sessions can include short practical exercises, focused discussion, and planning for real-life situations. Dorothy supports people exploring forgiveness, guilt and shame, life purpose, and building self-love as part of broader emotional work. People who choose Dorothy often want a calm, straightforward approach to managing stress, making decisions around separation or divorce, or coping with loss.
She encourages small changes that add up to meaningful progress.
How her approaches work in online therapy
Client-centered therapy centers the conversation on the person's own goals and values. The therapist listens closely and follows what matters most to the client, offering empathy and reflections that help people make sense of their feelings and choices. This approach supports work on anxiety, self-esteem, and life direction.Cognitive behavioral therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing small behavior changes. It is practical and skill-based, useful for reducing anxiety, shifting negative thinking, and improving mood through step-by-step practice between sessions.
Solution-focused therapy looks for immediate, achievable steps that move a person toward their goals. Sessions often highlight strengths and past successes to build momentum when people feel stuck or overwhelmed.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the collaborative process. The therapist will work with the client to decide what methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, and will adjust course as progress is made. That shared planning keeps sessions aimed at useful, manageable outcomes.
Online formats make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone sessions can work when bandwidth is limited, live chat supports shorter check-ins during the day, and text messaging helps people reflect between sessions. These options offer flexibility and easier access to ongoing therapeutic work.
