Dorothee von Stösser - Online Counseling
➣ Individually or as a couple
Maybe you're in a relationship crisis right now and don't know what to do?
You, or both of you as a couple, have been thinking a lot and are going round in circles?
This can be quite exhausting and it helps to have someone impartial at your side.
You don't know where you currently stand in your relationship and feel alone with your doubts. You're experiencing lots of wonderful moments with your partner, that you want to keep and yet you're also seeing lots of warning signs and red flags. What does that mean?
You have the feeling that you are not being seen or heard in your relationship, and less, that your partner understands you. You are constantly worrying and pondering how you could explain something better to him/her.
A major change occurred in your life or it is urgently needed. For example, a separation, loss or infidelity. You feel like you are at a dead end, without hope or full of doubts because you don't know where to start.
There are language barriers and cultural differences because you come from different countries. You are afraid of getting lost in this country or relationship and no longer feel able to participate and shape it. The intercultural experience overwhelms you.
Hey, I´m Dorothee,
Originally, I´m from Germany, but have been living in Ecuador for over 15 years now. I came here for a voluntary service in 2008/2009 and staid to study psychology. Later I have worked as a clinical psychologist in various public and private institutions in the country. My focus was always on relationships, communication, family dynamics and how we overcome life's challenges together. No one is an island; we are always connected in some way and that is very exciting to me.
Couples counseling online has the advantage that you don't have to be in the same place at the same time, but can connect from different locations.
We arrange a weekly Zoom meeting and work on your personal concerns.
Do you want to talk about a very specific topic, but don't necessarily want to go through a counseling process over several sessions? Then a single session can be a Good alternative.

Learning to be a good friend to yourself. What is that about and why is it important?
Know your situation from a systemic perspective. What does that mean? Here I tell you a Little more.
Targeted support in moments of change and coping with strokes of fate.
A session usually lasts 50 minutes. The duration of the counseling process depends on your individual situation. I accompany most of my clients through 12 to 20 sessions. Some stay longer, while others only need a few appointments.
We usually start with one appointment per week, and over time the intervals between sessions increase. We can then meet every two weeks or even just once a month - we make this decisión together.
In addition to the counseling process, I also offer single sessions. I plan 80 minutes for these, but it can also take a little longer or we can finish earlier. In the single session format, you asume that a single appointment is sufficient to discuss a specific topic.
Our conversations are completely confidential and I undertake to comply with the current EU data protection directives. Before we start the consultation, you will receive a contract from me regarding confidentiality and other obligations.
I use Zoom for the online appointments as Zoom guarantees end-to-end encryption so that everything discussed in our sessions stays between us.

We often talk about "having" relationships: "I have a relationship", "Do you also have a partner?", "She doesn't have a partner at the moment", etc. The idea of partnership is thereby ...
A guide to dealing constructively with anger in a crisis: In life crises, we are often confronted with a flood of emotions. One of the most intense and most frequent is anger.
Three ideas that don't always apply: Binational couples are often associated with many challenges like different countries and languages, major cultural differences and balancing lifestyles. So far, I have written a lot about these challenges...
