Approaches That Translate Well to Online Therapy

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationships shape current bonds - it helps clients identify patterns in closeness, trust, and abandonment and supports healing in relationships and intimacy. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) offers practical tools to examine and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which can reduce anxiety, depression, and stress by teaching concrete coping strategies. Trauma-Focused Therapy attends directly to the effects of traumatic experiences, helping clients process difficult memories and develop skills to manage triggers and improve daily functioning.

Dorie approaches treatment collaboratively and recognizes that finding the right method is part of the process. She works with clients to assess goals, preferences, and presenting concerns, then adapts techniques from these approaches to form a personalized plan. Clients are invited to give feedback so therapy can be adjusted as needs evolve.

Online sessions by video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging offer flexibility for busy schedules and for those who find in-person visits challenging. These formats make it easier to maintain continuity of care across life changes, allow for different communication styles, and let therapists and licensed professionals tailor session types to what works best for each client.
