About Dori

Dori Grace is an Indiana-licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) with three years of professional experience supporting people through a range of life challenges.

Background and approach

She draws on hands-on practice helping clients manage stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, mood concerns such as depression and bipolar symptoms, and struggles with attention and impulse-related difficulties including ADHD. Her work also covers relationship and family concerns, grief and loss, parenting and perinatal issues, and process-level struggles like self-esteem, guilt, and forgiveness.

Her approach emphasizes creating a nonjudgmental space where clients can explore difficult feelings and learn practical skills for coping and change. Dori uses evidence-informed strategies, including Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), to help people build emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and healthier communication patterns.

She frames therapy as a collaborative process focused on clients' values and goals, supporting steps toward greater balance and purpose. Available in English and practicing within Indiana, Dori provides remote options for those seeking flexible care.

Prospective clients are encouraged to consider their goals and comfort with an interactive, skills-based model when deciding whether to reach out.

DBT-informed care and flexible online options

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) is a skills-based approach that teaches practical techniques for managing intense emotions, reducing impulsive behaviors, and improving interpersonal effectiveness. It often includes strategies for distress tolerance, mindfulness, and regulation of strong moods, which can be helpful for anxiety, mood instability, and coping under stress.

The therapist approaches treatment collaboratively, helping clients identify which methods may fit their goals and preferences. Together they evaluate needs, try strategies, and adjust the plan over time so the work reflects the client's values and priorities rather than a one-size-fits-all prescription.

Online therapy through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging offers convenience and greater access for people balancing work, family, or mobility constraints. These formats make it possible to engage in regular, skills-focused sessions from different locations and to use a mix of synchronous and asynchronous contact as needed, helping clients maintain momentum between appointments.
