How Dorrie uses proven approaches in online care
Dorrie uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to shape online sessions in a practical way. ACT focuses on clarifying values and taking small committed steps toward them, which can help with motivation, stress, and sleep routines. CBT targets the thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going and teaches concrete tools for changing daily habits and managing anxiety.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Dorrie will discuss a client’s goals, preferences, and needs and will suggest which methods might fit best. She takes a collaborative stance and adjusts plans as clients learn what helps them most.
