Dorothy Baker , LCSW, LICSW

Dorothy Baker brings a background in teaching and management to her clinical practice, combining practical experience with formal training to support clients from a wide range of backgrounds. She returned to graduate school later in her career to complete a Master of Social Work, and she now applies that foundation to work she finds deeply rewarding.

Her process begins by learning where a client is in their life and why they sought help, so that goals can be created that feel realistic and achievable. Once those goals are clear, she selects therapeutic methods tailored to the individual's needs - for some people that means Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, for others Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, and sometimes a solution-focused approach is the best fit.

Dorothy emphasizes that each person is unique and that no single method fits everyone; treatment is guided by what works best for the client. She holds LCSW and LICSW credentials, which indicate licensure as a clinical social worker in the relevant jurisdictions.

Could Remote Therapy Be a Good Fit?

Many people ask whether online therapy can make a meaningful difference. For a range of common concerns - including stress, anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, and life transitions - online therapy can be as effective as traditional in-person sessions for many individuals.

One of the main benefits is flexibility. Clients can connect with therapists in the format that suits them best: video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or in-app messaging. This range of options can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule or to access support from different locations.

Licensed professionals provide care remotely, and clients can change providers if they feel a different therapeutic fit would be better. For people weighing their options, online therapy offers a practical and accessible way to pursue evidence-based support from trained therapists.
