Online support options
Evidence-informed approaches for online change
Online sessions with Dorothy often draw on cognitive behavioral therapy and mindfulness therapy to help with everyday problems. Cognitive behavioral therapy focuses on identifying and changing thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going, which can be useful for anxiety, depression, and work stress. Mindfulness therapy teaches simple skills for staying present and noticing feelings without getting swept away, helping with reactivity, compassion fatigue, and relationship tension. Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Dorothy will discuss goals, preferences, and what feels most useful, and then recommend methods that fit each person's life. This is a collaborative process where adjustments can be made over time based on what helps most. Online options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video sessions let people use visual cues and practice communication skills in real time. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Chat and messaging support shorter check-ins, goal tracking between sessions, or coaching-style touchpoints that fit into busy schedules.Start online instead of waiting
