Doris Rhodes

Doris Rhodes is a licensed counselor who helps people manage stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, depression, and coping with life changes. She brings eight years of professional experience to each conversation and focuses on respectful, compassionate care. Her work also addresses practical concerns like communication problems, money and financial issues, workplace strain, life purpose, and self-love.

Doris uses a collaborative approach that adapts to each person. She listens first, then outlines simple steps you can try between sessions. Sessions emphasize clear goals and tools you can use day to day. She aims to make therapy feel practical and doable rather than overwhelming.

Her background includes work in both Ohio and Georgia under the credentials LPCC and LPC, which she uses to inform her clinical judgment and treatment planning. She balances structured techniques with space for whatever you need to talk about in the moment.

In sessions she draws on several approaches, selecting methods that match the concern and the person. That may mean working on thoughts and behaviors, focusing on present solutions, or processing past distress when needed. She explains options in plain language and builds a plan together.

Doris describes the first step as an act of courage. She aims to support and empower people as they move toward a more fulfilling life. If you want a straightforward, respectful clinician to help with life changes and emotional distress, she may be a good fit.

Approaches that translate to online support

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on a supportive, nonjudgmental conversation where the therapist follows your lead to understand what matters most. It helps when people need a listening space to make sense of change or loss and to find their own direction.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts and behaviors influence feelings and teaches practical skills for managing anxiety, low mood, and stress. It often includes short exercises you can try between sessions to build new habits.

EMDR is a structured method used to process traumatic memories and reduce their hold on daily life. When appropriate, it can help people who are struggling with trauma or abuse-related distress.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss options and help decide what fits best based on goals, personal style, and how quickly you want to try different strategies. That decision is collaborative and can change as progress is made.

If you are considering online therapy, confirm the session options before booking so you know what formats are offered. Online work can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow for check-ins that focus on short, practical tasks. Ask about how sessions will be arranged so you can choose what fits your routine.
