Dorothy Selmon

Dorothy Selmon is an LPC who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, and major life changes. She also supports those dealing with anger, panic attacks, post-traumatic stress, and feelings of isolation or loneliness. Dorothy works with people who are wrestling with guilt, shame, communication problems, forgiveness, and questions about life purpose.

She uses practical, evidence-based methods in sessions. Dorothy blends Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, mindfulness practices, Motivational Interviewing, and Solution-Focused techniques. Sessions focus on clear goals, small steps, and skills you can use between meetings.

Dorothy aims to make therapy straightforward and usable. She listens for what matters most and helps clients build plans that fit daily life. Work might include practicing new ways to respond to stress, learning short mindfulness exercises, or breaking big goals into manageable tasks.

Her background includes seven years working as a licensed professional counselor in South Carolina. Dorothy draws on that experience when helping people recover from trauma, manage panic, or rebuild after hard life events. She offers care in English and Spanish.

To begin, she asks about what’s most urgent and what a realistic next step would look like. The early sessions focus on safety, coping tools, and a simple plan for moving forward. Over time, the work shifts toward deeper patterns and lasting changes.

How Dorothy uses practical approaches in online work

CBT, or Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect. Dorothy uses CBT to help identify unhelpful thinking patterns and to practice new responses for anxiety, panic, and depression.

Mindfulness Therapy teaches short exercises to bring attention to the present moment. These practices can reduce reactivity to strong emotions and help with stress, guilt, and feelings of loneliness.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Dorothy will talk with clients about goals and preferences, then try methods that fit those needs. She checks in regularly and adjusts the plan based on what helps most.
