Therapeutic Approaches for Online Support
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current patterns of relating and emotional responses. It helps clients understand attachment needs and develop more secure ways of connecting, which can be useful for relationship difficulties, intimacy concerns and issues linked to abandonment or attachment wounds.
Client-Centred Therapy emphasises the therapist's genuine presence, acceptance and active listening. This approach creates a respectful, empathetic space where clients explore their feelings and choices, useful for building self-esteem, processing grief and navigating life transitions.
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and behaviours and developing practical strategies to change them. CBT is widely used for anxiety, depression, stress and many day-to-day coping challenges because it offers concrete tools for shifting patterns that maintain distress.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the therapeutic process and Dorothi works collaboratively with each person to determine what fits their needs, goals and preferences. Together they tailor interventions and pace to suit the client rather than following a one-size-fits-all plan.
Online therapy with Dorothi is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging, providing flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care from different locations and to choose the format that best supports engagement and progress with a registered professional.
