More about Dorlea
- 11 years' experience

- LCPC, LPC-MH
I am a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor in Idaho and in South Dakota. I have worked as a Counselor since 2015. I completed my Masters of Science in Mental health Counseling with Walden University. I have operated a private practice for the past 6 years that is person-centered in approach with Client therapy.
My therapy style is seeing a person suffering from a disorder / issue not seeing the person as the disorder. I use a mix of techniques when working with Clients in order to create the best fit for each individual's personal growth. I have worked with adults with anxiety, depression, grief and addiction and helped them in coping with life changing transitions. I don't take credit for Client growth, since it takes a lot of courage from a Client to make changes when needed. I see myself as a helper / teacher of skills / objective entity for feedback in providing guidance for Client growth. I do what I can to help the Client learn how to become the change they want to be.
I have experience in working with individuals, couples & families. I work with adults suffering from depression, mood disorders, anxiety, addiction and substance use, grief, and relationship issues. I work with Clients to educate on the use of healthy coping skills for anger management, self-esteem building, self-confidence improvement and every day issues. I use techniques form Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Existential therapy, Mindfulness, Narrative therapy, Psycho-educational, Matrix, and Solution-focused therapy.

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.

She helps me out dearly
She is very kind, listens, and does her best to help.
My therapist has been incredibly helpful, especially in the times I was having hard emotions and thoughts. Very patient, friendly, and compassionate. Would definitely want her to be my therapist again! Thank you for everything!!
Dorlea is helping me through some difficult days and transitions. She listens but also offers great tools for coping and success. I would recommend her to friends, family, and strangers alike.
It's been a pleasant experience with Dorlea. She's a great listener and has suggested a couple of ways I can move on in my therapy. I have nothing but good things to say about her.
I have nothing but good things to say about Dorlea! She is always willing to listen and offers wonderful advice to cope and process with my feelings and emotions.
She’s great. I just feel as though I really don’t need the therapy and if I do need therapy in the future, I’ll either reach out or go to in person sessions and use my health insurance.
Dorlea listens and offers relevant advice and solutions to help me combat what I am currently struggling with. She has compassion and I never feel judged when I’m talking with her.
Dorlea is incredibly patient and listens well, you don’t feel pressured or rushed during your time with her. She creates a safe space to try to work through things.
She's awesome! It was really nice to be able to talk some things through with someone, and Dorlea was a great help.
Dorlea he's such a wonderful listener. She is able to help me identify my problem areas and offers such constructive solutions that really help me. I always feel much lighter after talking to her!
Wonderful
She’s great!
I'm just getting started with Dorlea (only a couple of weeks in) but I've found her style helpful. We focus on things that I want to focus on and she doesn't waste time getting to the root of the matter. She's offered me worksheets and recommended additional resources that I've found helpful. I have gained some insight and I think (and hope) this will be very beneficial and help me get past what I've been dealing with.
Always awesome
So far so good. She offers me good tools to get over my triggers.
Great advice and easy to talk to.
This is the first time I have done therapy online. I was nervous about how it would work. Dorlea put my mind to ease right away. She's easy to talk to, listens, give excellent feedback. She also checks in between sessions. Dorlea wants you to succeed in life and will be your biggest cheerleader while you figure out life.
Dr. Kinzley is one of the best therapists I have ever had. She responds very fast and always checks in on me through out the week. She listens to my primary concerns and offers amazing insight.
Dorlea really listens and always gives timely responses.
I very much enjoy working with Dorlea.
Dorlea is by far the easiest person I have ever talked with. I don’t feel uncomfortable, she is not judge mental, I actually feel like talking with her is going to help me in the long run! I am learning new things, new ways to think about things. Even though it has only been 2 sessions, I am already seeing improvements in my thought processing. She is great to work with!
Really easy to talk to and is helping me loads.
Great experience with sessions so far. Helpful and knowledgable
Dorlea is very good at listening and giving pertinent comments which move me in the right direction. She's also helped in giving me worksheets pertinent to my personal issues. --a great calm, safe atmosphere.
She is very attentive and listens to me and works on solutions that will work for me.
