How Dorothy’s Approaches Work Online
Dialectical Behavior Therapy emphasizes skills for regulating strong emotions, tolerating distress, and improving relationships. Online DBT work often focuses on skill practice, short homework, and checking progress between sessions.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions. In online CBT sessions, clients learn to test unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors that reduce anxiety, depression, or stress.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. Dorothy collaborates with each person to choose methods that fit their goals and daily life. She adjusts techniques based on what is helpful, and clients can try different strategies over time.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect. Video calls allow full conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions work when bandwidth is limited or for shorter check-ins. Live chat and text-based messaging let clients share thoughts between sessions or when they prefer writing. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, parenting, or caregiving demands.
