Doris Rhodes, LPCC, LPC

Doris Rhodes is a licensed counselor with LPCC and LPC credentials and eight years of experience. She helps people who are struggling with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, depression, and major life changes. Her work focuses on practical steps that can make daily life feel more manageable.

Doris approaches sessions with respect, sensitivity, and compassion. She adapts conversations and plans to each person's situation instead of using a one-size-fits-all method. That means sessions may include goal-setting, talking through troublesome patterns, and finding small, realistic changes to try between meetings.

She uses several therapeutic tools so the work can match what a person needs. Some sessions center on examining thoughts and behaviors, while others emphasize present-moment listening and building skills to cope. When trauma or painful memories are involved, Doris draws on methods that aim to reduce their impact on everyday life.

Doris encourages a collaborative relationship. She supports people as they set goals and choose steps that feel right for them. Progress is usually steady but practical, and she helps clients notice changes as they go.

Clients are invited to describe what feels hardest now so a clear plan can be created together. Doris works to make therapy understandable and usable, so people can carry what they learn into their daily routines.

Approaches you can use online

Doris commonly uses Client-Centered Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and she also draws on EMDR for trauma-related work. Client-Centered Therapy involves listening carefully and reflecting what matters to you so the conversation follows your needs; it helps people feel heard and understood. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at how thoughts and behaviors interact and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns; it is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress management. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing is used when past traumatic memories are causing ongoing distress and aims to reduce how strongly those memories affect daily life.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist and client decide together which methods to try based on personal goals, symptoms, and preferences. Doris will explain options and adjust the plan if something does not feel like the right fit.

Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life and to keep regular momentum between meetings. It can allow shorter check-ins, easier scheduling around work, and the ability to join from different locations when needed. Confirm the session formats offered before booking so you know what schedule and setup will be used.
