Telehealth and Online Counseling
Dorian offers online work that integrates structured therapeutic methods with attention to relationship patterns and life stressors. He uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people identify values and build practical skills for living in line with those values, with an emphasis on present-moment awareness and committed action. Attachment-Based Therapy is another strand of his work, exploring how early relational experiences shape current bonds and communication styles.
For clients who have experienced traumatic events, he incorporates Trauma-Focused Therapy techniques aimed at creating safety, building coping strategies, and processing difficult memories at a careful pace. Sessions are collaborative: Dorian works with each person to choose approaches that match their goals and comfort level rather than applying a single method.
Online sessions are available through video calls and phone sessions, and he can also connect using live chat or text-based messaging for people who prefer those formats. These options allow flexibility in how people engage while working toward their therapeutic goals.
