01About Dorothy
Dorothy Selmon is a licensed professional counselor who helps people manage stress, anxiety, anger, and depression. She keeps things straightforward and practical so parents and busy adults can find useful steps quickly. Sessions focus on solving problems and building skills that fit daily life.
She draws on cognitive behavioral techniques to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and change patterns that fuel anxiety or depression. Mindfulness strategies are used to reduce reactivity and ground people during strong emotions.
Background and approach
Motivational interviewing helps clarify values and strengthen motivation for change. Dorothy brings seven years of clinical experience in South Carolina to her work. She listens for each person’s goals and tailors sessions around what is most helpful in the moment.
She also attends to moral and spiritual concerns when clients say those are important to them. In session she works on concrete skills - breathing and grounding tools for panic, communication exercises for strained relationships, and short behavioral steps to move past guilt or shame. The focus is on small, achievable changes that add up over time.
Sessions can be in English or Spanish. People access help through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. The process begins with a brief matching questionnaire and scheduling that fits the client’s life.

04Online support
How practical approaches translate to online therapy
CBT, or cognitive behavioral therapy, helps people spot and change thought and behavior patterns that keep anxiety or depression active. In online sessions this often means identifying a few thoughts to test and trying small behavioral experiments between meetings.Mindfulness therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity during strong emotions. These exercises can be practiced during a video call or guided by short messages and checks between sessions to build consistency.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and life demands to choose methods that fit. That collaboration means techniques are adjusted over time based on what helps most.
Online formats offer practical flexibility. Video calls let people work face to face without travel. Phone sessions can be a shorter check-in and use less bandwidth. Live chat or text-based messaging can support quick coping strategies and ongoing accountability between meetings. Together these options make it easier to keep therapy consistent while fitting it around work, school, or family life.
