Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Dorothy Meeks integrates evidence-informed methods to tailor care to each person’s needs. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps clients identify unhelpful thought patterns and develop practical skills to manage stress, anxiety, and low mood. The Gottman Method focuses on improving communication and problem-solving skills within relationships, offering structured tools for couples working through conflict, intimacy concerns, or trust issues. Mindfulness Therapy teaches attention and awareness practices that support emotional regulation and coping during life transitions and chronic stress.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative part of the work. Dorothy partners with clients to understand their goals, preferences, and circumstances, and she adapts techniques over time so the plan fits each person and relationship. This collaborative process helps clients feel involved and supported as treatment unfolds.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, providing flexibility for busy schedules, caregiving responsibilities, or geographic distance. These formats make it easier to maintain consistency, access care from familiar surroundings, and continue progress even when in-person visits are not possible, while working with licensed professionals who guide the therapeutic process.
