Therapeutic Approaches and Remote Care
In her practice, Dorothy Russell draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Client-Centered Therapy to meet varied needs. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps clients notice and make space for difficult thoughts and feelings while identifying personal values to guide meaningful action. It can be helpful for anxiety, stress, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thought and behavior patterns and developing practical skills to shift those patterns, often useful for anxiety, depression, and coping skills. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathy, active listening, and a respectful, nonjudgmental stance so clients can explore feelings and make their own choices.Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Dorothy works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods fit their goals, preferences, and circumstances, adjusting strategies over time as needs change.
Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, offering flexibility for scheduling and access. These formats make it easier to maintain continuity of care during busy or transitional periods and allow licensed professionals to support clients in settings that feel most comfortable and convenient.
