Background and approach
Dorothy uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and mindfulness practices to address unhelpful thoughts and reduce reactivity. She also draws on Motivational Interviewing and Solution-Focused Therapy to clarify goals and build manageable plans for change. Those methods are used in ways that fit each person’s needs.
Clients can expect clear takeaways from sessions, such as short exercises, communication strategies, and mindfulness techniques to practice daily. She pays attention to how emotions affect behavior and helps clients develop small, realistic steps toward relief and better functioning. Sessions are offered in English and Spanish.
Dorothy has seven years of clinical experience as an LPC in South Carolina and focuses on helping individuals build resilience and move forward after difficult experiences.
How therapy methods translate online
CBT helps people identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. Online CBT sessions often include brief skill-building exercises and homework you can do between meetings to reduce anxiety and manage panic symptoms.Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and increase calm. In remote sessions these techniques are practiced together and then assigned as short daily exercises to build steady habits.
Finding the right mix of approaches is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to pick techniques that match their goals, needs, and comfort level, and will adjust the plan as progress is made.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which offer flexibility for different schedules and situations. Video is useful for in-depth conversation and guided exercises, phone sessions can fit into a short break, and texting or live chat can work for quick check-ins or ongoing support. These options help people keep therapy consistent while fitting it into everyday life.
