I am a Licensed Independent Social Worker, living in South Carolina, with 6 years of experience in the field. I have spent that time providing grief counseling and support to a diverse population of caregivers and family members in a hospice setting. During this time I have seen an array of clients with difficulties related to mental health and depression, burnout, life changes, aging parents, financial crisis, end of life planning and LGBTQIA+ issues. Some of my favorite tools include CBT, Narrative Therapy and Grief Counseling. Life is full of many different changes, losses and adjustments, and my goal is to assist others in processing those as they move forward on their own journey.
Availability: M-F (9 AM-5 PM, EST) I check my messages often between these hours, and am committed to responding within 24 hours, during the work week. Please note that some evening time slots are available for Live Sessions, as I am aware that not everyone lives in my time zone.

These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Caroline Dorris. We don't pay anyone to provide their review and they are all made voluntarily. Some people's experience receiving therapy with BetterHelp might be different.
My therapist helped me help myself out of the deepest hole I've ever been in.
