About Dorothy
Dorothy Selmon is an LPC who focuses on helping people navigate stress, anxiety, anger, depression, and major life changes. She brings seven years of clinical experience to work with clients facing panic attacks, post-traumatic stress, and feelings of isolation or purposelessness.
Background and approach
Her practice also attends to interpersonal concerns such as communication problems, forgiveness, guilt, and shame. Her style blends structured, evidence-informed methods with compassionate listening.
Dorothy often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy alongside mindfulness practices to help clients identify unhelpful thinking patterns and build more effective coping habits. She also draws on motivational interviewing and solution-focused techniques to support clearer goals and small, practical steps forward.
Based in South Carolina, Dorothy offers therapy in both English and Spanish and adapts sessions to individual needs. She frames therapy as a collaborative process in which clients and therapist work together to develop resilience, refine coping strategies, and reclaim a sense of direction during difficult transitions.
Practical approaches for online therapeutic work
CBT is a hands-on, goal-oriented approach Dorothy commonly uses to help clients identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors; it is often applied to concerns like anxiety, panic attacks, and depression by breaking problems into manageable steps. Mindfulness Therapy complements that work by teaching present-moment awareness and stress-reduction techniques that support emotion regulation and decrease rumination.Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Dorothy treats it as a collaborative decision. She works with each client to explore which methods feel most helpful given their goals, preferences, and life circumstances, and adjusts the plan over time based on progress and feedback.
Online sessions are available as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These formats let clients access consistent support from a licensed professional while fitting therapy into daily life, and they make it easier to continue work through transitions or when in-person meetings are impractical.
