Hi there, I'm Dora! My name is Dr. Dora Whiteside, LPC. I earned my Master's in Counseling from Langston University and hold an EdD from Texas Southern University. My therapeutic approach is based largely on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and person-centered therapy. My focus areas of practice include depression, anxiety, and trauma. My approach I primarily use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, combined with Solution-Focused Therapy and Person-Centered Therapy, along with many different skills and interventions tailored to each client. My focus I have worked with clients from many different cultural and ethnic backgrounds, addressing a variety of presenting problems including depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, Borderline Personality Disorder, psychosis, suicidal thoughts, as well as feelings of self-harm or harm toward others. My communication style When working with clients, I like to begin building the client-therapist relationship and rapport right away. My journey to mental healthcare I absolutely love what I do and view each day as an opportunity to increase love, peace, and joy, believing that all other growth will naturally follow. I work to help both others and myself become our best selves. My goals for you After establishing a healthy client-therapist relationship, we work together to determine your desired goals. I conduct goal progress check-ins during each session and provide additional strategies and feedback.

In full transparency, this review should likely not go completely against the provider as I’m not sure what happened. However, I booked the session 3 days ago. I logged on for 45 minutes and I even messaged the provider and I never got a response.
