Dorothy Selmon

Dorothy Selmon, LPC, helps people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, anger, depression, or big life changes. She works with individuals who are facing panic attacks, post-traumatic stress, or a sense of isolation and loss of purpose. Her style aims to make difficult emotions easier to name and manage so day-to-day life feels more manageable.

Dorothy uses straightforward, evidence-based methods to help people learn new ways of thinking and reacting. She blends cognitive behavioral strategies with mindfulness and motivational techniques to build practical skills. Sessions focus on clear goals, step-by-step coping tools, and small changes that add up over time.

She pays attention to the role of faith for clients who want that included, while still keeping the work focused on real-life problems and concrete strategies. Communication skills and forgiveness work are common topics, as are shame and guilt that get in the way of moving forward. Dorothy helps people develop routines and habits that reduce reactivity and improve relationships.

With seven years of clinical practice, she brings steady experience to common struggles like panic, trauma recovery, and repeated anger outbursts. Dorothy is based in South Carolina and sees clients in English and Spanish. Before booking, confirm current session options to choose the best match for your needs.

To start, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule sessions according to therapist availability. Her practice uses a subscription model that can be canceled at any time, and fees vary by location and availability.

How these approaches translate to online care

CBT, or Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, helps people notice how thoughts shape feelings and actions. It uses practical exercises and short homework tasks to change unhelpful thinking and reduce anger or panic symptoms.

Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention skills so emotions are less overwhelming. Practices can include short breathing or grounding exercises that help reduce reactivity and improve focus during stressful moments.

Motivational Interviewing is a conversational style that helps people find their own reasons to change. It works well when someone feels stuck or unsure about committing to new habits around anger or substance use related behavior.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Dorothy will talk with each person about their goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t worked before. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust the plan as progress is made.

Confirm current session options before booking to know which formats are available. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, reduce travel time, and support regular check-ins. It can also allow shorter sessions or phone-based check-ins when that fits a schedule better.
