About Dorothy
Dorothy Selmon is a licensed professional counselor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, anger, depression, and major life changes. She speaks English and Spanish and works with people who are dealing with panic attacks, post-traumatic stress, or a sense of isolation. Dorothy keeps sessions straightforward and practical.
She uses down-to-earth techniques to reduce overwhelm and improve day-to-day coping. Conversations focus on small, doable steps that fit into a busy life.
Background and approach
Her background includes seven years of clinical practice as an LPC in South Carolina. That experience includes helping people with communication problems, forgiveness, and the heavy feelings of guilt and shame. She brings a values-aware perspective to conversations about life purpose and meaning.
In session she draws on cognitive behavioral strategies to identify unhelpful thoughts and change patterns. Mindfulness practices help clients notice stress and reorient toward calmer responses. Motivational interviewing and solution-focused tools support short-term goal setting and clearer choices.
Dorothy aims to be a steady presence while people learn new skills for handling anger and intense emotions. She emphasizes collaboration and respects each person’s pace. The focus is on practical progress and restoring day-to-day functioning.

How Dorothy Uses Practical Therapies Online
CBT, or cognitive behavioral therapy, focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing them with real-life steps. It is useful for anxiety, anger, and depression because it breaks problems into clear behaviors and thinking patterns to change.Mindfulness therapy teaches simple attention practices to reduce reactivity and create breathing space during strong emotions. These short exercises can help with panic, stress, and persistent worry by shifting how people notice sensations and thoughts.
Dorothy works together with each person to find which methods fit best. She will help set goals, try approaches, and adjust the plan based on what the client needs and prefers. That collaborative process makes it easier to focus on immediate problems and track real changes.
Online sessions are available by video, phone, live chat, or text messaging to match different schedules and comfort levels. Video calls let people practice skills face to face, phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth is limited, and chat or text work well for brief check-ins and step-by-step support. These options make it easier to fit regular sessions into a busy life and keep progress moving forward.
