CBT-Informed Care Online - Practical Tools and Flexible Access

Dorothy uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) as a core approach to help people identify unhelpful thinking patterns and develop practical skills for managing symptoms like anxiety, depression, and stress. CBT focuses on changing thoughts and behaviors through structured techniques and real-world practice to improve day-to-day functioning.

She frames therapy as a collaborative process, working with clients to determine which techniques and strategies fit their goals and preferences. Together they explore what feels most useful, adjust plans as progress is made, and prioritize approaches that support sustainable change and improved coping skills.

Online sessions are offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide scheduling flexibility and easier access to care. These formats allow clients to engage in skill-building, complete between-session work, and receive support without travel, making it simpler to maintain consistency and integrate therapy into a busy life.
