About Doris

Dr. Doris Atanmo-Strempek centers her practice on people seeking support with trauma, relationship intimacy, parenting concerns, compassion fatigue, and major life transitions.

Background and approach

With 12 years of clinical experience as an LPC she draws on a blend of evidence-informed methods to help clients identify patterns, build coping strategies, and restore a sense of agency when life feels overwhelming. Her approach emphasizes collaboration and respect for each person's story.

Trained in several therapeutic traditions, she integrates cognitive behavioral techniques with client-centered listening and narrative perspectives to help clients reframe unhelpful thoughts, deepen self-understanding, and craft practical steps forward. Her work also attends to abandonment-related wounds and family dynamics while tailoring interventions to each person's goals and circumstances.

Integrating practical approaches in online care

Dr. Atanmo-Strempek draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients identify and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns, an approach often useful for anxiety, depression, and coping with stressful life changes. She also uses Client-Centered Therapy, offering attentive listening and empathy to support clients as they explore feelings and goals at their own pace. Narrative Therapy is another tool she employs to help people reframe their personal stories and separate themselves from limiting labels or past hurts.

Choosing the right mix of methods is collaborative; the therapist works with each person to determine which approaches fit their needs, goals, and preferences and may adjust strategies as work progresses. This shared process helps make therapy relevant and actionable for everyday challenges.

Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility for scheduling and communication style. These options allow clients to access licensed professionals from different locations, fit sessions into busy lives, and maintain continuity of care when circumstances change.
