About Dorisa
Dorisa Reyes is a licensed mental health counselor who helps people feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or unsure about their next step. She works with individuals facing anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, and big life transitions. Her tone is practical and warm, aimed at people juggling emotional strain with everyday responsibilities.
Dorisa draws on clinical training and prior experience in high-demand work settings. That background gives her a clear sense of workplace pressures, financial worries, and the strain of major decisions.
Background and approach
She uses that perspective to relate to clients balancing mental health with real-life demands. Her sessions are interactive and goal-focused. She helps people clarify values, improve communication, and build confidence.
She also supports processing difficult experiences and changing unhelpful patterns in relationships and daily routines. Dorisa has particular experience with trauma, self-esteem concerns, and multicultural issues. She aims to make therapy inclusive and respectful, including for LGBTQ+ individuals.
Her approach centers on collaboration and practical steps that fit each person’s situation. Clients can expect straightforward conversation and concrete tools. Sessions move at a pace the client sets, with attention to immediate needs as well as longer-term goals.
She practices in New York as an LMHC and brings four years of clinical experience to her work.
Evidence-based approaches and online care
Online therapy with Dorisa focuses on practical techniques that help people manage symptoms and make clearer decisions. One common approach she uses is trauma-informed work, which helps people process painful experiences at a pace they can tolerate and reduce the ways those experiences affect daily life. Another approach emphasizes skills for anxiety and mood regulation, teaching breathing, grounding, and behavior changes to lower stress and improve mood.Choosing the right approach is a team effort. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels most useful. Together they decide whether to focus on coping skills, relationship work, or processing past events, and adjust the plan as progress is made.
Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit varied schedules. Video helps recreate a face-to-face conversation, phone calls can be easier when bandwidth is limited, and messaging allows short check-ins between sessions. These options make it simpler to fit therapy around work, caregiving, or other responsibilities while keeping therapy consistent and flexible.
