How evidence-based techniques translate to online care

Many of the techniques Dorothy uses are evidence-based and focus on practical change. One common approach she uses is person-centered work, which centers the client's goals and lived experience and helps build a trusting conversation about feelings and relationships. This approach can help with anxiety, depression, and relationship struggles.

She also emphasizes skills-building methods that teach concrete tools for managing stress, anger, or cravings. Skills work usually involves practicing new coping strategies, role-playing communication, and developing small routines that reduce overwhelm. These tools are useful for people dealing with addictions, chronic stress, or life transitions.

Choosing the right approach is collaborative. Dorothy will help explore which methods fit best with a person's goals, history, and preferences, and adapt the plan over time based on what is working. Clients and therapist decide together on goals and regular steps to measure progress.
