About Dora
LICSW in Minnesota with three years of clinical experience, Dora Von Wald focuses on stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, self-esteem, coping with life changes, and ADHD. She works with people who want practical tools and clearer next steps. Sessions are conducted in English and follow evidence-based methods she uses in practice.
Dora uses a mix of approaches drawn from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Attachment-Based Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, and Mindfulness Therapy. She emphasizes an open working relationship where the client’s goals guide the work. Conversations include identifying thought patterns, practicing present-moment skills, and noticing what matters most to the client.
Her practice pays attention to the whole person, including physical, emotional, and relational factors that affect well-being. When trauma or difficult life events are part of the picture, she helps people build coping skills and safety in daily routines. For people exploring identity, body image, or life purpose, sessions focus on concrete steps toward clearer values and small behavior changes.
Dora describes clients as the experts on their own stories and centers their strengths in each session. She uses motivational interviewing techniques when people are unsure about next steps. Work can include brief skill-building, goal setting, and experimenting with new habits between meetings.
Outside of clinical work she enjoys reading memoirs and novels, making art, and creating calm, aesthetically pleasing spaces. That personal side informs a straightforward, practical approach in therapy.

How her approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and reconnect with what matters. It’s useful for anxiety, stress, and choosing values-driven actions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying thought and behavior patterns and testing small changes to reduce symptoms. It often helps with anxiety, low mood, and confidence. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how past relationships shape current ways of connecting and reacting, which can clarify relationship patterns and trust issues.Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist collaborates with each person to decide which methods to try first. Together they track what helps and adjust strategies based on goals, preferences, and life demands.
Session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm the current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into daily life by removing commute time and allowing meetings during a lunch break or after work. Some formats use less bandwidth or allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. Licensed professionals can use the same ACT and CBT exercises in remote sessions as in person, focusing on practical skills, short experiments, and planning between-session steps.
