More about Doris
- 6 years' experience
- Female
- LCSW
I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with Master’s degrees in Social Work and Public Health from University of California, Los Angeles. I have 8+ years of experience as a therapist working with children, adolescents and adults in community-based and clinic settings providing mental health services.
I seek to provide a safe, warm space for all individuals to process their experiences, build on their strengths and develop new insights to better cope with life’s challenges. My areas of interest include working with those experiencing anxiety, depression, trauma, grief and loss, addiction and family/relational stress. I use a variety of therapeutic approaches tailored to patient's needs which may include psychodynamic therapy, strengths-based counseling, cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavioral therapy, and faith-based counseling to empower patients in their journey toward healing and growth.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.
