Doris Rhodes

Doris Rhodes is an Ohio- and Georgia-licensed counselor - LPCC and LPC - with eight years of clinical experience. She helps people dealing with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, depression, and coping with life changes. She also focuses on communication problems, money and financial issues, workplace concerns, self-love, and life purpose.

Doris uses a straightforward, person-focused style in sessions. She listens to what matters most and works with clients to set clear, manageable goals. Conversations include practical tools and strategies people can try between sessions. She explains techniques in simple terms and checks how they are working as therapy progresses.

Her approach draws on several methods, including client-centered work, cognitive behavioral techniques, EMDR, hypnotherapy, and solution-focused strategies. That mix is used to address symptoms and to help people notice unhelpful patterns. Sessions can move between talking, structured skill practice, and targeted interventions depending on the issue.

Doris has worked across settings during her eight years in practice. She brings that day-to-day experience to common problems such as grief after loss, anxiety that interrupts work, and the confusion that follows big life changes. She explains steps clearly and helps people test what fits their life.

People who want to explore direction or purpose in life will find concrete discussion of values and next steps rather than abstract advice. To begin, readers should follow the site's process to view online therapy options and schedule a first session.

How her approaches translate to online work

Client-centered therapy starts by listening and following what the person brings. In online sessions this means prioritizing the client’s concerns and building goals from their priorities. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing practical behavior changes; it is often used for anxiety, depression, and workplace stress and fits well into focused online sessions. EMDR is a targeted method for processing trauma and distressing memories; in remote sessions it can involve guided bilateral stimulation alongside talk work to reduce the intensity of painful memories.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss options and try techniques that match the person’s goals and comfort level. That collaborative process may lead to brief solution-focused check-ins, structured CBT practice, or more focused trauma processing when appropriate.

The practical benefits of online sessions include easier fitting of appointments around work and family routines and fewer distractions from travel. Confirm which session formats are currently offered before booking, since the biography does not list specific formats. Online work can allow shorter check-ins or longer sessions depending on what fits a person’s schedule and needs.
