Approaches to therapy and how online care fits
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on creating an accepting, empathic environment where the client leads the pace and direction of work. This approach supports self-exploration, improved self-esteem, and clearer communication, making it useful for relationship concerns, life transitions, and personal growth.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps people identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. It provides practical tools for managing anxiety, depression, panic symptoms, and stress by teaching concrete coping strategies and problem-solving skills.
Motivational Interviewing is a collaborative, goal-oriented method for resolving ambivalence and strengthening a person’s own motivation for change. It can be especially helpful when someone is weighing difficult decisions or trying to make sustained behavioral changes.
Finding the right combination of approaches is part of the therapeutic process. Dorothy works collaboratively with clients to determine which methods align with their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting the plan as progress unfolds.
Online therapy offers flexibility to fit sessions into busy schedules and to maintain continuity of care during illness, caregiving, or relocation. Through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, clients can access licensed professionals and therapists in ways that suit their routines and comfort levels, making consistent work on goals more reachable.
