About Dolores
Dolores Beynor is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 39 years of practice. She works with people who are worrying about anxiety, stress, depression, substance use, grief, and relationship strain. She speaks English and offers sessions to people in Florida and elsewhere.
She begins by listening to what matters most to each person. Sessions are shaped around the client’s goals and immediate concerns. Dolores encourages people to talk through their experiences while also providing practical information about conditions like anxiety, depression, and substance use.
Background and approach
Her approach blends straightforward skills training with space to reflect. Cognitive behavioral strategies are used to identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. She also uses client-centered ways of working that keep the persons priorities at the center of the work.
Motivational interviewing techniques are used when someone is thinking about change, especially around substance use or lifestyle shifts. Psychodynamic ideas can help people understand patterns that come from earlier life experiences and how those patterns affect current relationships and self-image.
Dolores has experience with a wide range of concerns across the lifespan, including aging and caregiver stress, trauma, eating and sleeping problems, ADHD, and bipolar mood concerns. She aims to treat people with dignity and compassion while helping them set clear, achievable goals. To begin, a client and Dolores will create goals together and focus on the most pressing needs first.
Her style mixes teaching, practical tools, and supportive conversation to help people cope and move forward.
Therapeutic approaches and online care
Dolores commonly uses cognitive behavioral therapy and client-centered therapy in her work. Cognitive behavioral therapy focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which can help with anxiety, depression, and sleep or eating problems. Client-centered therapy centers on the persons own goals and experience, creating a respectful space to talk through feelings and decide next steps.She also draws on motivational interviewing to support people who are weighing changes, such as reducing substance use or shifting daily habits. Together the therapist and client choose which approach fits best, and that choice can change as goals shift. The selection of methods is a collaborative process based on needs, preferences, and what the person hopes to achieve.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make scheduling easier. Video is useful for a full session when visual cues matter, phone calls can be lower bandwidth, live chat is helpful for quick check-ins, and messaging works well for short updates or brief coaching between sessions. These options make it simpler to keep therapy consistent around work, caregiving, or travel.
