Dr. Dorree Lynn Provides Sage Counseling for Daters Facing Challenges in Love, Sex & Relationships

The Short Version:  Dr. Dorree Lynn is a relationship expert and trained psychotherapist with a deep understanding of what it takes to make a romance last. She has spent decades writing about relationship issues, consulting on dating issues, and talking about sex issues from a mature perspective. Dorree offers one-on-one consultations for singles and couples looking to add some zest to their love lives. She provides compassionate and down-to-earth guidance about everything from online dating to marital sex. Dorree has inspired countless individuals to go after the kind of life they want without letting their age or insecurities stand in the way. “I just want to live my life with purpose,” she said, “and use my skills to help others.”

Dr. Dorree Lynn has lived a life of abundant adventure. In almost 77 years, she has traveled extensively, adopted children in India and Asia, earned a doctorate in psychology, published three books, and established her expertise in a variety of topics, including sexuality, caregiving, holistic health, and retirement.

Dr. Dorree Lynn engages with people to help them understand the true nature of love and sex.

In the 1990s, she founded and published an e-magazine to give down-to-earth advice to people over 50. In 2010, she appeared as a sexpert on AARP’s television show “My Generation.”

Now Dorree offers her extraordinary life experience to singles and couples in one-on-one consultations. She is a professional psychotherapist and relationship expert with many useful insights to share. “You have to live well to sage well,” she told us, “and I have lived all over the world.”

Based in Charleston, South Carolina, Dorree offers personalized coaching and guidance to people of all ages, though she has a particular affinity for helping seniors. Her primary goal is to encourage people to date without fear and embrace whatever stage of life they’re in. She can provide empowering advice to anyone facing challenges in their love lives.

“Dating can be educational and fun, not an ordeal,” she said. “It just means learning to eliminate the frogs before you get harmful warts. I like focusing on helping people to enjoy the process. The goal will happen.”

Throughout her career, Dorree has worked with singles and couples on a variety of personal issues. She has offered realistic tips for older couples hoping to reawaken their romance, and she has provided detailed dating profile edits for 20-something daters hoping to meet someone online. She enjoys being a mentor to men and women in the modern dating world. Over the years, she has counseled many movers and shakers in the US.

Dorree listens very carefully to her clients as they talk about their problems, and she asks insightful questions about their past relationships, fears, and goals. “I try to reframe, reform, and redirect,” she said, “while at the same time tending to their core issues.”

Watch on

Her advice to today’s singles is to be honest about who they are and to realize that everyone is going to have flaws. Dorree believes that everyone has something valuable to offer in a relationship, and she has a talent for making singles see that their age, weight, or job title doesn’t make them undateable. It’s normal to have baggage, but you can still offer something valuable to someone whose baggage complements yours.

Dorree tries to teach her clients how to expect the unexpected and keep an open mind throughout the dating process.

“My mission is to help people not just get over their fears but to see in themselves what I see in them,” she said. “Dating is only part of what I do. I steward helping change people’s lives.”

Although Dorree didn’t set out to be a published author, when the opportunity presented itself, she jumped on it. In 2000, she published “Getting Sane Without Going Crazy,” a nonfiction book about how to heal yourself through psychotherapy and spiritual care. She deals with taboo subjects with a forthright and knowledgeable tone, debunking myths and recommending a path to long-lasting emotional and mental wellness.

Her next book, “When the Man You Love Is Ill,” tackles yet another difficult subject: what to do when a romantic partner is facing a medical crisis or chronic illness. The book describes what it’s like to be a caretaker for a beloved partner and serves as an inspirational guide for many readers. “This book helped me to see a different perspective,” wrote DreamerNorth in a review on Amazon. “If you are a caretaker, this is one of the best books that tells it like it is.”

“You won’t feel old when you read this book. Rather you will feel good about yourself.” — Dr. Barbara Becker Holstein in a review of “Sex for Grown-Ups”

Finally, her latest work, “Sex for Grown-Ups,” speaks to something few really speak honestly about in pop culture — older people’s desire for sex. She delves into misconceptions about sex after 50 and reveals the true nature of adult intimacy. “It helps people rethink who they are and what they want,” Dorree said.

The world has changed dramatically in the last few decades, and Dorree considers baby boomers the pioneers of a new age of connection and communication. She wants to help today’s seniors navigate dating and relationship challenges, including online dating, by writing with compassion and honesty.

In the coming years, Dorree plans to publish a new book about relationships and build her presence on YouTube so she can get the word out and share her dating wisdom with as many people as possible.

Dorree has made an impact on people’s lives by helping them see what’s important in their lives. She approaches dating, sex, and relationship issues with a positive, can-do attitude. She has counseled married couples on how to keep the romance going as they age. She has helped 20-somethings make a good first impression on a date. And she has inspired countless individuals to give love another chance.

In the mid-1990s, Dorree even helped her oldest daughter write an attractive dating profile. The daughter used that dating profile to meet her future husband, who was her first and only online date, and they’ve now been married for over 25 years. To this day, Dorree considers that her greatest success story.

“Dating is like job hunting with your heart on your sleeve,” she told us. “It’s scary, but people have to get out there.”

Watch on

Dorree firmly believes there is someone for everyone out there, and it’s her job to bring out the best in her clients and offer them support as they navigate the modern dating scene and figure out what they want.

“I think of dating as an education, not an end goal,” she said. “You learn about yourself and another person. It’s a wonderful experience, if you think of it that way.”

From living on the beach with Bedouins to talking about sex on television, Dr. Dorree Lynn has had many remarkable experiences that have taught her a lot about the nature of life and human relationships. Now she endeavors to share what she knows with people of all ages. Whether you’re seeking advice on how to message a Tinder crush or how to romance a partner of 40 years, you will find Dorree eager to assist with any dating dilemma by providing knowledgeable and soulful counsel.

As a noted psychotherapist, dating coach, and sexpert, Dorree shares her insights on how to live life to the fullest no matter what age you are.

“I try to act as a change agent for as many people’s lives as I can,” she said. “We work collaboratively for their betterment, one person, group, or daily interaction at a time. Love really does make the world go round. It keeps people healthy as well as happy.”
