Evidence-Based Support, Made Flexible Online
Dory Richards uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help clients strengthen connection, improve communication, and build a steadier sense of self. In relationship-focused work, therapy can center on noticing unhelpful interaction patterns and practicing new ways to respond so conversations feel more constructive and less reactive - especially during conflict or major life transitions.For concerns like anxiety, overwhelm, or self-esteem, Dory may incorporate skills-based strategies that help clients identify what fuels distress and develop practical tools for emotional regulation, clearer boundaries, and more grounded decision-making. In family and parenting support, sessions can focus on strengthening teamwork, creating consistent approaches at home, and reducing cycles of disconnection.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. Dory collaborates with each client to clarify goals, understand preferences, and tailor therapy to what feels most relevant and workable over time.
Online therapy also makes it easier to get support in a format that fits real life. Clients can meet by video calls or phone sessions, or use live chat and text-based messaging, which can be helpful for busy schedules, between-session reflection, or staying engaged when in-person visits are not practical.
