About Me

Please call me Dorrie. I have been a counselor for 24 years primarily working with Veterans and their families. I am excited to be on Better Help to use my clinical experience on this online platform. I like to use worksheets and journals to get to know you when we are not doing sessions. I am available evenings and on weekends to assist you. I received my Masters in Social Work from the University of South Carolina. I use the cognitive behavioral approach and emotional literacy to guide you through your issues. The cognitive behavior approach helps you look closely at the decisions you make and the emotional literacy approach looks at how your emotions effect your decisions. I am Christian and believe using the Bible as a guide to our actions. God made each of us unique and "God saw that it was good." As an experienced therapist, I will adjust my style to your needs. My goal is to help you enjoy life.

Dorothy is an exceptional beautiful soul, anyone lucky enough to be matched with her for therapy is blessed to have her and all of her wisdom. She has a gift for getting to the root of your issues and offering a variety of ways to support you. I am forever grateful to have worked with her.

Ms. Carskadon has helped me so much in only a few weeks. She helped get clarity in my self exploration and helped me find my socialness and confidence. She helped me through a huge sudden change and it would have been immensely harder without her help. I would highly recommend her to anyone seeking therapy! One of the best I've had with Better Help.
