About Doris
Doris Dimaya is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Missouri with four years of experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, grief, depression, compassion fatigue, and life changes, including social anxiety and phobia. Doris helps people clarify what matters to them and take small steps toward better day-to-day coping.
She frames therapy as a collaborative process. Sessions often involve talking through current problems, identifying practical coping strategies, and testing new behaviors in everyday life. Clinical work also attends to caregiver strain, aging and geriatric concerns, and hospice and end-of-life issues.
Doris also addresses family-of-origin issues, codependency, guilt and shame, and feelings of emptiness. She supports people facing midlife shifts, questions about life purpose, and recovery from traumatic experiences. Work in session is paced to the person and focused on achievable goals.
Her approach draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help people build emotional regulation and coping skills. She integrates attention to spiritual or faith-aligned concerns when clients request that direction. Discussions can include practical strategies for self-love and managing persistent anxious thoughts.

How evidence-based techniques are used online
Many of Doris's sessions draw on evidence-based therapeutic techniques. One common approach focuses on skill building for regulating strong emotions and managing anxious symptoms, using repeated practice of simple coping tools to reduce the impact of worry on daily routines. Another approach involves addressing trauma-related symptoms by helping people organize memories and reactions, then developing stepwise strategies to reduce avoidance and increase function.Figuring out which approaches to use is part of the work together. The therapist and client review goals, preferences, and what has helped in the past, then try methods that match those needs. Adjustments are made as progress and challenges become clearer, so the plan evolves collaboratively.
The biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm available options before booking. In general, online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, allow for shorter check-ins when needed, and let people work with a licensed professional from their home or a different location. Ask about session length, platform, and any preferences when scheduling so practical arrangements match daily life.
