I am a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor in Idaho and in South Dakota. I have worked as a Counselor since 2015. I completed my Masters of Science in Mental health Counseling with Walden University. I have operated a private practice for the past 6 years that is person-centered in approach with Client therapy.
My therapy style is seeing a person suffering from a disorder / issue not seeing the person as the disorder. I use a mix of techniques when working with Clients in order to create the best fit for each individual's personal growth. I have worked with adults with anxiety, depression, grief and addiction and helped them in coping with life changing transitions. I don't take credit for Client growth, since it takes a lot of courage from a Client to make changes when needed. I see myself as a helper / teacher of skills / objective entity for feedback in providing guidance for Client growth. I do what I can to help the Client learn how to become the change they want to be.
I have experience in working with individuals, couples & families. I work with adults suffering from depression, mood disorders, anxiety, addiction and substance use, grief, and relationship issues. I work with Clients to educate on the use of healthy coping skills for anger management, self-esteem building, self-confidence improvement and every day issues. I use techniques form Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Existential therapy, Mindfulness, Narrative therapy, Psycho-educational, Matrix, and Solution-focused therapy.
Additional areas of focus:Trauma and abuse, Grief, Communication problems, Drug and alcohol addiction, Isolation / loneliness, Life purpose, Multicultural concerns, Panic disorder and panic attacks, Post-traumatic stress, Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD), Social anxiety and phobia, Women's issues

She’s great. I just feel as though I really don’t need the therapy and if I do need therapy in the future, I’ll either reach out or go to in person sessions and use my health insurance.

I'm just getting started with Dorlea (only a couple of weeks in) but I've found her style helpful. We focus on things that I want to focus on and she doesn't waste time getting to the root of the matter. She's offered me worksheets and recommended additional resources that I've found helpful. I have gained some insight and I think (and hope) this will be very beneficial and help me get past what I've been dealing with.

Dorlea is by far the easiest person I have ever talked with. I don’t feel uncomfortable, she is not judge mental, I actually feel like talking with her is going to help me in the long run!
