Background and approach
She has also provided services for professional athletes and has lectured and published on trauma and addiction. In sessions she uses client-centered methods to focus on the person’s needs and goals. She also uses cognitive behavioral techniques to help people spot unhelpful thinking and try different behaviors.
Dorothy incorporates Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, when appropriate, to address trauma-related distress. Her work often focuses on practical problems like communication difficulties, control issues, divorce and separation, and coping with guilt or shame. She also supports people dealing with hoarding, immigration stress, infidelity, and loneliness.
She works with those managing panic attacks, post-traumatic stress, and social anxiety. Dorothy aims to create an open space where thoughts and feelings can be shared without judgment. She emphasizes collaboration and clear steps so progress can be measured.
For many people, this translates into manageable change over time rather than sudden fixes.

Approaches for Trauma, Thoughts, and Everyday Stress
Dorothy uses client-centered work that focuses on the person in front of her. This approach means she listens carefully and helps people set goals that matter to them, adapting sessions to the client’s pace and preferences.She also uses cognitive behavioral therapy, which looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. CBT helps people identify unhelpful thinking patterns and try practical changes to reduce anxiety, panic, or social fears.
Dorothy incorporates Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing when addressing trauma-related symptoms. EMDR involves guiding attention while revisiting difficult memories to reduce their emotional intensity and the distress they cause.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. She will talk with each person about goals, symptoms, and preferences, and they will decide together which methods to try and when to adapt them.
Online therapy offers flexibility in how sessions happen. Video calls let people use face-to-face interaction from another location. Phone sessions work when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat or text messaging can fit quick check-ins, shorter sessions, or times when writing helps express thoughts more clearly.
These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and to keep consistent appointments across time zones, including international clients.
