About Dora

Dora Von Wald is a licensed independent clinical social worker with three years of experience. She focuses on building a trusting relationship and helping people move toward the life they want. Dora uses practical, evidence-informed methods while treating each person as the expert on their own story.

She often draws on attachment-based ideas to look at how early relationships affect current patterns. Dora also uses cognitive behavioral tools and acceptance and commitment techniques to help manage stress, anxiety, and ADHD-related challenges.

Background and approach

Sessions emphasize clear skills you can try between meetings. Dora supports people working through relationship strain, low self-esteem, and body image concerns. She helps those facing life changes, searching for life purpose, or recovering from traumatic experiences.

She also works with people who want to build more self-love and confidence. Her approach pays attention to physical, mental, emotional, spiritual, and relational needs. Conversations are collaborative and grounded in the client's goals.

Dora aims to create a calm, straightforward space where practical steps come first. Outside of work she enjoys memoirs and novels, crafting, and making comfortable spaces. She values humor and connection and brings a warm, down-to-earth presence to sessions.

Online support

How attachment and ACT work in online sessions

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early bonds shape current relationship patterns and emotional responses. Online sessions can help identify those patterns and practice new ways of relating in everyday life. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, focuses on clarifying values and taking action even when difficult thoughts or feelings show up. It supports people facing anxiety, life changes, and challenges around motivation or ADHD by teaching small, value-driven steps.

Deciding which approach fits is a team effort. Dora will listen to your goals and preferences, try strategies, and adjust based on what helps most. The work is collaborative - expect to set practical goals and review progress together during sessions.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for deeper conversations and practicing skills together. Phone sessions can be easier when video isn't practical or bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text messaging work well for brief check-ins, ongoing support between sessions, or times when writing feels more comfortable. These options make scheduling more flexible and help therapy fit into busy lives.
