Sally Dorpfeld (She/Her) LMHC, LPC, MCAP, ICADC Great to meet you! I am 55 years old, married, and have three adult children, two granddaughters, a Golden retriever rescue, and a Chihuahua. I have worked over 15 years in the mental health and substance use field, and currently am a Private Practice Psychotherapist. I previously worked full-time for 8 years as a School Behavioral Health Professional in the Palm Beach County School District at a Charter School. I have a Master's Degree in Licensed Professional Counseling, and a BS in Addiction Counseling both obtained through Grand Canyon University, AZ. I also have an associate's Degree in Business Management obtained in 1990 from Lehigh County Community College in PA. I work with Children, Adolescents, and Adults through telehealth online video. My styles of approach with clients are Solution-oriented, Empowering, and developing mindfulness. My specialties are; Anxiety, Depression, Maternal Mental Health, Bipolar Disorder, Anger Management, Women's Issues, Grief, Loss, Relationship Issues, LGBTQIA+, Stress, Eating Disorders, ADD/ADHD, Family Issues, OCD, Trauma, and PTSD. Modalities: Structural Family, Relational, Cognitive Processing (CPT), Motivational Interviewing, Psychodynamic, Trauma Focused, Solution Focused Brief (SFBT), Strength-Based, Mindfulness-Based (MBCT), Positive Psychology, Exposure Response Prevention, Interpersonal, Cognitive Behavioral (CBT), Behavior Modification, and Art Therapy. I am currently a Florida Telehealth online Provider, Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC), a Pennsylvania Telehealth online provider, Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC), Master Level Addiction Professional (MCAP), and International Certified Alcohol and Drug Counselor (ICADC).
In our first session together, we will start with brief introductions. We will then learn what has brought you into therapy, and therapist will review confidentiality, limitations of therapy, and what to expect through the process of therapy.
The therapeutic approach that I use is a Wellness Model of Counseling, emphasizing strengths as well as personal choices and the importance of daily decision-making. A Solution Focused Therapy approach, focuses on solutions to problems and discovering the strengths a person has. A Cognitive Behavior Therapy approach effective for a range of problems including depression, anxiety disorders, alcohol and drug use problems, eating disorders, and PTSD to name a few; Exposure and Response Prevention a specialized type of cognitive behavioral therapy and the gold-standard treatment for obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD); and Motivational Interviewing to empower my clients.
Clients I serve are navigating life experiences, grief, anxiety depression, and/or psychological distress. I work with clients dealing with life transitions, both young and older, searching for careers and exploring their options for the future. We can work through tough life experiences through grief and trauma, and learn about how and why we respond to situations the way we do.

A CBT session, the therapist uses a structured, goal-oriented approach to help clients identify and change their negative or unhelpful thoughts, feelings, and behaviors by exploring the connection between them. CBT also incorporates the use of homework to practice new skills.
In a Compassion-Focused Therapy (CFT) session, the therapist uses techniques like compassionate imagery, mindful awareness, and compassionate reasoning to help clients cultivate compassion for themselves and others, addressing shame, self-criticism, and promoting emotional well-being.
In an Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) session, the therapist acts as a guide, helping clients (individuals or couples) identify and explore their emotions, understand underlying attachment needs, and improve relationship patterns through empathy, validation, and active intervention.
In culturally sensitive therapy, I create a safe space for clients by acknowledging and respecting their cultural background, actively listening to their perspectives, and adapting my approach to better meet their needs.
In an ERP therapy session, I would guide the client to gradually confront feared stimuli or situations while preventing compulsive behaviors, aiming to reduce anxiety and obsessive thoughts.
