About Dorothy
Dorothy Baker is a licensed clinical social worker who helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and life changes. She is clear and practical in sessions and focuses on small, doable steps that fit into everyday life. Dorothy uses straightforward language and listens first to understand each person's situation and goals.
She trained later in her career, earning a Master in Social Work after time in teaching and management. That background shaped a practical, organized way of working with clients. She brings 21 years of experience as an LCSW and LICSW and uses that experience to tailor the pace and focus of therapy.
Sessions begin by finding out where a person is now and what they hope to change. Together they set realistic goals, then try approaches that match those goals. Dorothy draws on Mindfulness Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, client-centered work, and Motivational Interviewing depending on the need.
She helps people address issues such as trauma, relationship concerns, addiction, sleep and eating problems, caregiver stress, midlife transitions, and career strain. She also supports people facing aging and geriatric issues, blended family challenges, and financial stress.
Every plan is adjusted to the individual. If one approach does not fit, she tries another. The emphasis is on collaboration, practical coping skills, and measurable steps toward the goals a client sets.
