Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support

Dorothy integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Mindfulness Therapy into her work. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thought patterns and testing them against reality, helping people shift behaviors and feelings that interfere with daily life - it can be useful for low self-esteem, career challenges, and symptoms related to post-traumatic stress. Mindfulness Therapy encourages present-moment awareness and gentle attention to thoughts and emotions, offering tools to regulate stress, process grief, and reconnect with life purpose.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Dorothy works with each person to explore which methods align with their goals, preferences, and pace. Together they tailor strategies and adjust techniques as progress unfolds, keeping treatment practical and personally relevant.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which provide flexibility for scheduling and consistent access to care. These formats allow licensed professionals to deliver structured therapy, check in between sessions, and support day-to-day skill practice, making it easier for people to pursue meaningful change without disrupting other responsibilities.
