Background and approach

She focuses on how thoughts, habits, relationships, and life transitions interact. Her style is collaborative. She describes the work as partnering with a client - not leading or following, but walking together.

That means sessions involve honest conversation, goal setting, and steps you can try between meetings. Motivational interviewing and cognitive tools are part of that process to support change. Many clients bring concerns about family strain, parenting, grief, anger, or life purpose.

Dolores also works with issues such as codependency, attachment and blended family challenges, aging and end-of-life matters, and substance use. She helps people talk through the immediate problem while tracing back what keeps it alive. Dolores practices in Colorado as an LPC - Licensed Professional Counselor.

Sessions are offered in English and provided through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Getting started involves a short matching questionnaire and scheduling a first session.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that match their values; it can be useful for anxiety, stress, and choices around substance use. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts and behaviors keep problems going and gives practical skills to change patterns that fuel depression, anxiety, and anger. Motivational Interviewing focuses on building internal motivation for change and is often used when someone is ambivalent about addressing addictions or difficult habits.

Finding the best approach is part of the work. Dolores will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn't worked before. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust the plan as progress or new issues appear, keeping the process collaborative throughout.

Online sessions make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when visual cues matter. Phone sessions can be shorter check-ins or a good option when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text-based messaging suit quick updates, journaling between sessions, or ongoing support without scheduling a full call. These options help maintain consistency and accessibility while using the same therapeutic approaches as in-person work.
