More about Dorian

  • 3 years' experience
  • Male
  • LPC

My name is Dorian Carter, I am a Licensed Professional Counselor. I have been working in Social Services over the last 13 years. Over that time I have been serving families throughout Houston and surrounding areas. It has been both my pleasure and passion to serve and help people in different capacities. Every place I have served had 1 thing in common, and that's being there for people during their time of need.

My counseling experience includes work in evaluating suicidal clients, supporting clients challenged by anxiety, mood disorders, trauma, autism spectrum disorders, and other neurological differences. I have also worked with clients who have experienced religious/spiritual trauma.

Additionally, Christian counseling provides me with a unique perspective for those clients who wish to approach their issues and concerns through the lens of biblical teachings.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.

Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.
