About Doris
Doris Rhodes is a licensed counselor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, depression, and big life changes. She brings eight years of professional experience and aims to treat each person with respect, sensitivity, and compassion. Doris focuses on practical steps people can take to feel steadier and more able to cope.
She uses a conversational, person-focused style and tailors sessions to each individual’s needs. That can mean looking at unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors, using focused techniques to process traumatic memories, or working toward clearer goals and next steps. Doris also addresses communication struggles, questions about life purpose, self-worth, workplace challenges, and money and financial issues.
In the room she listens first and then works with each person to set achievable goals. Sessions balance skills practice with reflective conversation. She makes plans that fit daily life and priorities rather than one-size-fits-all solutions.
Her background includes practice in Ohio and Georgia over eight years, helping people manage loss and major transitions. She adapts methods to what each person needs in the moment and over time.
People can expect a supportive, goal-oriented approach that blends practical tools and deeper processing. Doris aims to empower people to make changes that feel doable and meaningful for their lives.
Approaches you might use together online
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and creating a respectful space. The therapist follows your lead, reflects what you say, and helps you find your own solutions; this approach can support confidence and clearer choices in life.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It teaches specific skills for changing unhelpful thinking patterns and trying new behaviors, which can help with anxiety, depression, and stress.
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, EMDR, uses guided processing to help reduce the intensity of traumatic memories. It is often used when past events continue to cause distress in daily life.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with you about your needs, goals, and preferences and then choose or combine methods that fit. That conversation is collaborative and may change over time as progress is made.
Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life by removing travel time and allowing more flexible scheduling. It can also allow shorter check-ins when a full session is not needed, and it can make attending from different locations simpler. Because session formats are not listed here, confirm the current session options before booking so you know how sessions are arranged.
