About

Dorothy Baker brings a broad professional background to her clinical work, having worked with people from many cultures, ages, and walks of life. She began her career in teaching and management, and later returned to graduate school to complete a Master in Social Work. Those varied experiences led her to clinical practice, where she enjoys helping clients from diverse backgrounds.

Her therapeutic approach begins by understanding where a client is now and the reasons they chose to seek therapy. Together they establish realistic, workable goals, and then she selects the clinical methods most likely to help reach those goals. Possible approaches she may use include Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or solution-focused therapy - chosen to fit the needs of each individual rather than applying a single method for everyone.

Dorothy is an experienced clinician with 21 years of practice. She holds clinical social work licenses in both Missouri and Washington and completed graduate training in social work later in her career. She practices in Missouri and offers an approachable, goal-oriented style that adapts to each person’s unique situation.

Is Online Therapy the Right Step Toward Better Mental Health?

Many people wonder whether meeting with a therapist remotely can really help. For common concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, or navigating life changes, online therapy has been shown to be comparable in effectiveness to traditional in-person sessions for most people.

One major benefit is flexibility - clients can choose how to connect in the format that fits their routine and comfort level. Options typically include video sessions, phone appointments, live chat, or in-app messaging, which makes it easier to integrate therapy into a busy life.

Therapists who provide online care are licensed professionals, and clients may change therapists if they prefer a different fit. For many people, this combination of evidence-based outcomes and scheduling flexibility makes online therapy a useful option to consider.
