She uses motivational techniques to boost readiness for change and encourages clients to apply small steps that add up over time.

Therapeutic approaches and online care
Dolores often draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in online work. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and reconnect with personal values while learning small actions that matter. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying anxious or negative thought patterns and trying practical experiments to change behaviors and feelings.Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That means trying techniques, checking what helps, and adjusting the plan over time so it feels useful and realistic.
Online therapy with Dolores is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make care more flexible. Video allows face-to-face conversation for skill coaching, phone sessions can work when bandwidth is limited, live chat is good for quick check-ins, and messaging supports brief reflections between appointments. These options make it easier to fit sessions into busy days and to practice skills consistently.
