About Dori
LPC Dori Lyon is a Licensed Professional Counselor in Oregon with 20 years of clinical experience. She focuses on addiction recovery, depression, relationship concerns, trauma and abuse, and self-esteem issues. Dori works with people who face persistent anxiety, grief, intimacy-related struggles, and stress. Sessions are framed around practical conversation and real-life strategies.
Dori listens for patterns that cause repeated conflict or distress. She helps people untangle communication problems, obsessive or compulsive behaviors, and difficulties tied to multicultural identity. She also supports those dealing with infidelity, jealousy, isolation, and personality-related challenges.
In sessions she talks through feelings like guilt, shame, and compassion fatigue and helps clients find manageable next steps. She offers coaching-style work when clients want concrete plans for change alongside talk therapy. Her practice includes attention to life purpose, self-love, and rebuilding trust after relational breaches.
She is experienced with a wide range of concerns from eating and anger issues to bipolar mood patterns and paranoia. Dori also addresses less common relationship arrangements such as polyamory and other non-monogamous structures without judgement. Her work includes both short-term problem-focused work and longer-term care when needed.
People who reach out should expect straightforward communication, practical tools, and an emphasis on changing everyday behaviors that keep problems going. Sessions are conducted in English and follow Oregon LPC standards. Prospective clients are asked to confirm current session options before booking.

Approaches used and what online sessions involve
Evidence-based techniques are used to address core problems. One common approach is trauma-focused work that helps people process past harms and reduce their impact on daily life. This approach uses paced discussion, emotional regulation skills, and stepwise exposure to memories when appropriate. Another frequent component is behavior-focused work that targets habits and patterns keeping problems active. This looks at routines, avoidance, and relationship patterns, then tests small changes to see what improves mood and functioning. Finding the right method is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which approaches fit their goals, needs, and preferences. That process may include trying a few techniques and adjusting based on what helps most. Confirm current session options before booking, as specific formats are not listed here. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule and reduce travel time. They also allow for shorter check-ins when needed, and for sessions without video when less bandwidth or a quieter setup is preferred. Overall online work aims to make consistent care easier to maintain while focusing on practical change.Sheet 3
