Angela D​o​r​r, LPC

Angela Dorr is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Michigan with 11 years of experience. She helps people handle stress, anxiety, depression, grief, relationship and intimacy concerns, and parenting strain. She also supports people coping with trauma, life changes, mood disorders, and workplace or money-related stress.

Her approach is warm and practical. Sessions focus on clear goals and real steps people can use between meetings. She listens and adapts plans so they fit each person's life and preferences.

Angela uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy alongside client-centered methods to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and build healthier routines. She also draws on dialectical behavior therapy and mindfulness to teach emotional regulation and present-moment skills. Motivational interviewing and solution-focused techniques guide short-term planning and behavior change.

In sessions she keeps things straightforward. Conversations move from identifying problems to choosing small, achievable changes. Homework and practical tools are commonly part of the work so progress can show up between appointments.

Angela has experience supporting people after trauma, during postpartum and pregnancy-related struggles, through adoption and foster care issues, and during divorce or separation. She also helps with eating and food-related concerns, self-harm thoughts, bipolar and other mood challenges, and questions about life purpose.

She provides services in English and offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Therapy is arranged through a subscription model that can be canceled at any time.

How Angela’s approaches translate to online therapy

Angela uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going, then try small experiments to change them. This approach works well for anxiety, depression, stress, and mood-related concerns. Client-centered therapy is also part of her practice and centers sessions on each person's priorities, using listening and reflection to shape the work.

She may also use Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills for managing strong emotions and improving coping. DBT techniques teach breathing, grounding, and emotion regulation strategies that people can practice between sessions to handle intense moments more effectively.

Finding the right approach is collaborative. Angela will talk with clients about goals and preferences, then choose or blend methods that fit those needs. She adjusts plans over time so the work stays relevant and useful.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video lets people see body language and have longer sessions. Phone can be easier when bandwidth is limited or for quick check-ins. Live chat and text messaging work for brief updates, coaching moments, or when writing out thoughts helps more than speaking. These options make scheduling more flexible and let people fit therapy into busy days.
