Angela Dorr, LPC - Therapist in Michigan

About Angela

Angela Dorr is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Michigan. She brings 11 years of experience helping people cope with stress, anxiety, depression, parenting challenges, relationship concerns, and trauma. Her tone is supportive and practical, aimed at parents and adults looking for clear guidance.

Angela uses straightforward methods to help people make changes and feel more capable in daily life. She relies on approaches that center the client's perspective.

Background and approach

That means listening first, then working together to set small, achievable goals. Angela adapts the plan as needs change and focuses on skills people can use between sessions. Sessions tend to be collaborative and focused on real-life problems rather than abstract theory.

Angela blends Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) for thinking and behavior patterns with solution-focused steps to build momentum. She also uses elements of Dialectical Behavior Therapy - DBT - for emotion regulation and Mindfulness techniques for stress relief. Motivational Interviewing helps when someone wants support making a change but feels unsure where to start.

Her work includes a range of life challenges such as grief, parenting, postpartum concerns, adoption and foster care issues, and workplace stress. She also supports people facing divorce, eating and food-related struggles, money worries, and questions about life purpose. Angela tailors interventions to match each person’s goals.

Sessions take a practical tone and prioritize skills you can try right away. The focus is on steady progress and useful tools for daily life. If someone wants coaching-style guidance alongside counseling, she integrates that into the plan.

Therapeutic approaches and online options

Angela commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing new ways of thinking and behaving to reduce worry and low mood. CBT works well for anxiety, depression, and coping with stressful situations.

She also uses Dialectical Behavior Therapy - DBT - skills to help with emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and improving relationships. DBT tools can be helpful when intense emotions or repeated cycles of conflict are part of the problem.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist collaborates with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. That may mean starting with short, practical steps and shifting approaches as progress is made.

Online therapy is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to provide flexibility. These options let people connect from home or between other commitments and continue work on skills outside sessions. For many, that makes it easier to keep momentum and try new strategies in daily life.

Client-Centered Therapy

The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)

Concrete skills for riding out strong emotion, tolerating distress, and handling relationships without things escalating. The skills are practised in daily life, so between-session support by message or phone fits naturally.
