Doris Rhodes, LPCC, LPC

Doris Rhodes is a licensed counselor who helps people manage stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, depression, and major life changes. She works with individuals who are trying to feel steadier and regain a sense of direction. Doris approaches each person with respect, sensitivity, and compassion. She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, client-centered methods, EMDR, hypnotherapy, and solution-focused tools. In sessions she listens first, then tailors a plan that fits what the person wants to change. Conversations focus on practical steps and skills that can be used between sessions. Doris has eight years of experience across clinical settings. That background shapes a straightforward style: clear goals, regular check-ins, and adjustments when something isn’t working. She aims to empower people to make changes at a pace they can manage. When someone is facing grief, trauma, or persistent worry, she combines talking work with techniques meant to reduce symptom intensity and improve daily coping. For people dealing with workplace stress or money worries, sessions emphasize doable problem-solving and communication strategies. Doris is licensed in Ohio as an LPCC and also holds an LPC in Georgia. She offers care in English and matches the approach to each person’s needs. Starting therapy is treated as a collaborative step toward more stable days and clearer next moves.

How these approaches work online

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and building a trusting, nonjudgmental relationship. The therapist follows the person's lead and reflects feelings to help clarify goals and values. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going and teaches skills to change them, which can help with anxiety, depression, and everyday stress. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, EMDR, uses guided attention and memory work to reduce the intensity of traumatic memories and related symptoms.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and how they respond to different methods. That collaboration helps shape a plan that blends methods when needed rather than relying on a single technique.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video lets people use visual cues for deeper conversation, phone can fit into a busy day or when less bandwidth is available, and chat or messaging supports shorter check-ins or ongoing reflection between sessions. These options help people access care around work, family, or location constraints while staying focused on practical skills and steady progress.
