About Dolores
Dolores Beynor is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 39 years of experience. She helps people who are feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, depression, grief, addiction, ADHD, relationship struggles, or major life changes. Her manner is direct and compassionate, and she focuses on what matters most to each person.
She begins by listening to a person’s concerns and priorities. Together they set simple, practical goals. Dolores mixes conversation with clear information about conditions like depression, anxiety, and substance use.
Background and approach
She uses that information to help people make decisions and try new coping steps. Her approach pulls from several methods to match what a person needs. She uses client-centered work to follow the person’s lead and build on strengths.
She also uses cognitive behavioral techniques to find and test unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. Motivational interviewing helps people explore ambivalence and find their own reasons to change. Dolores has worked with adults across the life span, including older adults and caregivers, and with people who have experienced trauma or abuse.
She offers individual and group formats and draws on psychoeducation to explain symptoms and practical next steps. Her practice emphasizes respect, dignity, and steady support. Sessions focus on usable skills and clearer choices.
People leave with concrete steps to try between meetings and a plan they helped create. Dolores aims to empower people to manage stress, improve relationships, and move forward with daily life.
Approaches and How Online Sessions Work
Dolores commonly uses client-centered work and cognitive behavioral therapy to guide online sessions. Client-centered work means the therapist follows the person’s concerns, listens without judgment, and builds on the person’s strengths. Cognitive behavioral therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors to reduce symptoms like anxiety or low mood.She also draws on motivational interviewing when people feel unsure about change. That approach helps people weigh options and find internal motivation for new steps. Finding the right mix of approaches is a collaborative process; the therapist and client decide together which methods match the client’s goals and preferences.
Online therapy is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility. Video calls allow more visual cues and longer sessions, phone sessions can work with lower bandwidth, live chat can be used for brief check-ins, and messaging is useful for ongoing thoughts and homework between meetings. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy routines and to use the format that feels most comfortable for each person.
