About Dori
Dori Grace is a licensed clinical social worker practicing in Indiana with three years of experience. She focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and ADHD-related challenges. She also supports those coping with trauma, grief, addictions, and major life changes.

Background and approach
Her work often centers on building skills for emotional regulation and clearer communication. She uses Dialectical Behavior Therapy, which includes concrete tools for handling strong emotions and improving relationships. She adapts conversations to the moment and to each person’s goals.
Dori also addresses concerns like parenting strain, attachment and adoption issues, body image, and self-esteem. She helps people facing panic attacks, postpartum depression, or the fallout from trauma. She pays attention to impulsivity and anger so clients can choose different responses.
Sessions may include short behavioral goals, role-play for conversations, and practice of grounding or breathing techniques. The emphasis is on practical change rather than long explanations. Dori works with each person to set clear, achievable steps they can use between meetings.
How DBT and online sessions can meet your needs
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) emphasizes skills people can use right away. It teaches emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness to help manage strong feelings, reduce impulsive actions, and improve communication in daily life.Sessions are collaborative and tailored. The therapist and client review goals together and pick methods that fit the person’s situation. If DBT skills feel useful, they become part of the plan; if something else fits better, the approach shifts to match goals and preferences.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video lets people see visual cues and practice conversations. Phone can be easier when bandwidth is limited or for shorter check-ins. Live chat and messaging work well for brief updates, skill coaching between sessions, or when writing feels more comfortable.
These options make scheduling more flexible for work, childcare, or travel. The therapist will discuss which format suits a client’s needs and try different options as therapy progresses, aiming to keep care practical and usable in everyday life.
