About Doris
Dr. Doris Atanmo-Strempek helps people who are worried about parenting, relationship strain, or the emotional fallout of trauma. She writes plainly and listens closely to what matters to each person.
Her approach is practical and focused on steps that can be used between sessions. She brings 12 years of clinical experience as an LPC. Her background includes graduate degrees and work in clinical research and counselor education.
That experience shaped how she supports people facing compassion fatigue, abandonment wounds, and major life changes.
Background and approach
In sessions she focuses on understanding the story a person brings and on clear strategies to change painful patterns. She uses client-centered conversations to help people feel heard, cognitive behavioral tools to shift thinking and behavior, and solution-focused steps to set achievable goals. Therapy with her emphasizes uncovering strengths and building coping skills.
Sessions are practical and action-oriented while also making room for processing trauma and painful memories when needed. She aims to help people manage intimacy-related worries and the stress that comes with parenting roles. Dr.
Atanmo-Strempek offers work that balances short-term problem solving with deeper healing. Her background as a counselor educator and researcher informs a thoughtful, evidence-aware practice. People who want clear tools and steady support often find this style helpful.

Approaches That Guide Online Sessions
Dr. Atanmo-Strempek uses client-centered work to start sessions by listening to what matters most. This approach focuses on the person's experience and helps build trust so concrete issues can be addressed. She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thoughts and practice new behaviors that reduce distress and improve daily functioning.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. She will discuss goals and preferences, try strategies that match those goals, and adjust the plan as needed. Clients and the therapist decide together which tools and pacing feel most useful for each concern.
Online formats give flexibility for the way people prefer to connect. Video calls allow face-to-face interaction and longer conversations. Phone sessions can work well when bandwidth is limited or a simpler check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging offer shorter, more frequent touchpoints for brief updates and focused problem-solving between longer sessions.
