About Dorothy
Dorothy Frazier is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 17 years of experience. She uses straightforward, evidence-based methods to help people manage strong feelings and make practical changes in daily life. She focuses on stress and anxiety, depression, and anger as well as addictions and motivation.
She also supports people working on self-esteem, relationship and intimacy concerns, career decisions, LGBT-related issues, trauma and abuse, and bipolar-related challenges. Dorothy treats each person as the expert on their own life and looks for strengths to build on.
Background and approach
Her approach centers on clear, goal-focused work. Sessions are practical and action-oriented. She helps people notice unhelpful thoughts, change patterns that cause distress, and try new behaviors between meetings.
Dorothy emphasizes collaboration. She listens to what matters most, then helps set workable steps toward those goals. She frames progress as small, measurable changes rather than overnight fixes.
People meet her to gain tools for coping, to rebuild confidence, or to address specific issues like anger or addictions. Over time she helps clients track what is working and adjust plans to stay helpful and realistic.

Approaches Dorothy lists
Listing an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each therapist names and does not check training records.
CBT-based care and flexible online sessions
CBT, or Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new ways of behaving. It is useful for problems like anxiety, depression, anger, and patterns that keep people stuck. Sessions tend to include clear goals and practical exercises to try between meetings.Dorothy pairs that approach with collaborative planning. She works with clients to choose techniques that match their needs and preferences. This is a team process - goals, pacing, and methods are adjusted together as progress is reviewed.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video lets people see nonverbal cues and hold deeper conversations. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth or camera use is an issue. Live chat and messaging make brief check-ins and ongoing skill practice more convenient and fit into busy days.
These options add flexibility for people balancing work, family, and other responsibilities. Dorothy will discuss which format fits a person's goals, schedule, and comfort so treatment can move forward in a practical way.
