Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support

Dorothy Selmon draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Mindfulness Therapy, as well as Motivational Interviewing, to support clients through emotional challenges. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps people identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors that contribute to depression, anxiety, panic, and stress, offering practical tools to manage symptoms and improve daily functioning. Mindfulness Therapy teaches present-moment awareness and gentle attention to thoughts and feelings, which can reduce rumination, ease emotional reactivity, and support coping during life transitions. Motivational Interviewing focuses on exploring a person’s values and ambivalence about change, helping to strengthen motivation and set achievable goals for areas like communication, life purpose, or behavior change.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Dorothy works together with each client to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and personal beliefs, and she adjusts techniques as progress is made and priorities evolve. Licensed professionals and therapists often blend approaches to match an individual’s situation.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can occur by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging - making it easier to fit support into a busy life, maintain continuity during transitions, and access care from different locations. This variety of formats supports consistent engagement and accommodates different communication preferences.
