Online support
Emotion-focused work and practical online support
Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) centers on identifying and shifting emotional patterns that keep people stuck. It helps people name core feelings, understand how emotions shape relationships and behavior, and try new ways of responding that feel safer and more connected.Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) teaches skills to accept difficult internal experiences while clarifying personal values. It uses small behavioral steps to help people live toward what matters, even when emotions or thoughts are uncomfortable.
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on creating a respectful and nonjudgmental space where the therapist listens closely and follows the client's lead. This approach supports people who need a calm, validating environment to explore concerns and find their own solutions.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Dorrie will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their goals, needs, and preferences. That means trying things, checking in, and adjusting the plan together so it fits over time.
Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation; phone sessions can be helpful when bandwidth is limited or someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and messaging are useful for quick check-ins, brief coaching, or when writing helps process feelings. These formats offer flexibility to fit therapy into busy days and different routines.
