Dora Williams , LPC

Dora Williams is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who is currently pursuing a Doctorate in Clinical Psychology. She works with both individuals and couples, offering focused support for anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, career transitions, ADHD, and trauma. Dora draws on diverse clinical experience gained in private practice, methadone and suboxone clinics, and psychiatric treatment facilities to tailor care to each person’s situation.

Dora’s background includes time as a relationship coach, an experience that shaped her interest in helping people form healthier personal and professional connections. Her counseling style is collaborative and nonjudgmental, centering on the outcomes clients want to achieve and guiding them through practical steps toward lasting change. She uses approaches such as solution-focused therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, cognitive-behavioral therapy, and psychodynamic therapy to address patterns that interfere with well-being.

In sessions, Dora emphasizes empowerment and sustainable progress, helping clients process trauma, grieve losses, and strengthen relationship skills. Outside of her clinical work, she enjoys spending time with family, traveling, and trying new foods.

Translating Evidence-Based Approaches to Online Care

Dora often draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help clients identify and change unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviors; CBT is practical and can be useful for anxiety, depression, and coping with life changes. She also uses Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills to teach emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and improved interpersonal effectiveness - tools that help people manage intense emotions and relationship difficulties. Solution-Focused Therapy is another common part of her work, emphasizing concrete goals and small, achievable steps that move clients toward the life they want.

Finding the right approach is part of the collaborative process. Dora works with clients to assess needs, goals, and preferences, and she adapts methods over time so the treatment fits the person rather than forcing a single model.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can occur by video call or phone, or through live chat and text-based messaging. These options make it easier to schedule appointments, maintain continuity during life transitions, and access licensed professionals from different locations, while preserving the therapeutic focus and collaborative planning that guide in-person work.
