About Doris
Dr. Doris Atanmo-Strempek welcomes parents and caregivers who are worried about stress, parenting challenges, or relationship strain. She writes plainly and listens with a calm, steady presence.
Her approach focuses on practical steps to ease day-to-day struggles and restore connection at home. Dr. Doris is a Licensed Professional Counselor - LPC with 12 years of experience practicing in Georgia and working with concerns such as trauma and abuse, parenting, intimacy-related issues, compassion fatigue, coping with life changes, family stress, and feelings of abandonment.
Background and approach
In sessions she uses clear, goal-oriented methods. She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify thought patterns that get in the way. She also uses Client-Centered and Solution-Focused ideas to build on strengths and set small, achievable goals.
Conversations are straightforward and aim to leave clients with tools they can try between meetings. Her training includes doctoral work and experience supervising other counselors. That background informs how she structures sessions and teaches coping skills.
Parents can expect help developing routines, communication strategies, and practical responses to upsetting moments. She offers several ways to connect, including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Sessions are arranged through a subscription model that can be canceled at any time.
The process to begin includes a short matching questionnaire and scheduling based on therapist availability. Dr. Doris focuses on clear, usable steps rather than long explanations.
She helps people notice what already works, build new habits, and move toward steadier family life.
Approaches used online and how they help
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and following the client's lead. It aims to create a respectful space where people can name their concerns and decide what changes feel right for them. This approach is helpful for parents who need a calm place to sort through feelings and priorities.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It gives specific tools to shift unhelpful thinking and try new behaviors. CBT is often useful for coping with anxiety, low mood, and stress that get in the way of daily parenting tasks.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with clients about goals and try methods that match those needs. Together they decide whether to emphasize skill-building, story-focused work, or steady support based on what feels most useful.
Online therapy offers flexibility for busy households. Video calls allow face-to-face conversations without travel, while phone sessions can fit around caretaking tasks. Live chat and text-based messaging make it possible to check in between sessions or use brief coaching when needed. These options make it easier to keep momentum and practice new skills in real time.
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.
Narrative Therapy
Looking at the story you have come to tell about yourself, and where it came from. The work is in separating the problem from your identity and finding accounts that fit you better.
