About Dori
Dori Grace is a licensed social worker practicing in Indiana. She holds a Licensed Clinical Social Worker credential (LCSW) and has three years of professional experience supporting people through emotional challenges. She helps individuals facing stress, anxiety, depression, and issues tied to trauma and abuse.
Her work also includes support for addiction concerns and mood-related conditions such as bipolar disorder. Her approach focuses on creating a straightforward, nonjudgmental space. She encourages honest talk about feelings and daily struggles.
Background and approach
Sessions aim to build practical skills and small changes that add up over time. Dori often helps people who are navigating parenting challenges, adoption and foster care issues, and the pressures that come with major life changes. She addresses specific concerns like postpartum depression, panic attacks, and grief in manageable steps.
She also works on communication problems, control issues, and building self-esteem. She incorporates Dialectical Behavior Therapy, which centers on emotion regulation and coping skills. That approach is useful when strong feelings lead to impulsive actions or relationship strain.
Clients may work on coping tools to reduce emotional overwhelm and improve decision making. Dori aims to partner with each person to set realistic goals. She talks through options, practices skills in session, and adapts plans as needs change.
Her style is warm, direct, and focused on helping people move toward more steady daily functioning.
DBT and Online Skills-Focused Care
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) emphasizes practical skills for coping with strong emotions. It teaches emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal skills that help when anxiety, impulsivity, or intense mood swings interfere with daily life.The therapist uses skills training and problem-solving in sessions to help people manage urges and improve relationships. Work is collaborative - the therapist and client decide together which skills or strategies to try based on the client's goals and difficulties.
Online therapy here is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls let people use face-to-face conversation when helpful. Phone sessions work well when someone has limited bandwidth or prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text messaging can make space for brief check-ins or ongoing skill practice between longer sessions.
The goal is practical access and scheduling flexibility. These options make it easier to keep regular contact, practice skills in real time, and fit therapy around work, school, or family responsibilities. The therapist will talk through which format fits each person's routine and therapeutic aims.
