Background and approach
She aims to treat people with dignity, respect, and compassion. Dolores uses a few different methods depending on what the person needs. She draws on client-centered work to follow the person’s lead and build trust.

Together with each person she creates clear, realistic treatment goals. The focus is on the client’s most pressing needs and steps that feel doable. Dolores has provided individual therapy, group work, and family therapy during her career.

How therapeutic approaches work online
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and following the person’s lead. The therapist creates space for someone to tell their story and identifies what matters most, which helps with issues like self-esteem, grief, and relationship concerns.Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, looks at patterns of thought and behavior that keep problems going. It offers concrete skills and short-term exercises to manage anxiety, mood, sleep, and parenting stress.
Motivational interviewing is useful when someone feels unsure about change. It helps people weigh options and build their own reasons to move forward, which can be useful with addictions, health behavior, and other tough choices.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss options, try different strategies, and adjust based on the client’s needs, goals, and preferences. The aim is to pick methods that fit the person and the problem rather than sticking to one fixed model.
Online sessions offer flexibility. Video calls let the therapist and client work face-to-face when a deeper conversation is needed. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can fit into a work break. Live chat or text-based messaging can suit quick check-ins, brief coaching, or when typing feels easier. These formats make it simpler to attend sessions from varied locations and schedules.
