Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care
Dorrie integrates acceptance and commitment therapy and client-centered methods alongside cognitive behavioral therapy to support clients in online formats. Acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, and to take actions that align with personal values - an approach often useful for anxiety, depression, and life transitions. Client-centered therapy focuses on empathetic listening and building a trusting relationship, providing a space where clients feel understood and supported while they explore their concerns. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) offers practical tools to identify and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns, which can be effective for mood, stress, and coping challenges.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Dorrie works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. She adapts techniques in conversation with clients so treatment reflects what matters most to them.
Online therapy with Dorrie can take place via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to access regular support from licensed professionals while accommodating work, family, and other commitments.
