About Dolores
Dolores Cancino is a licensed clinical social worker with 26 years of practice. She brings long experience in trauma, mood concerns, and caregiving challenges. Dolores aims to build a straightforward, honest working relationship so people can make steady progress.
Her career began in family services, including foster care and adoption matters. She later worked in hospital crisis settings with people who had serious mental illness. Much of her work has involved active duty military members and veterans, and a focus on trauma-related difficulties.
How Dolores works
Dolores uses a direct but caring style in sessions. She listens first, and then helps set clear, achievable goals. Sessions emphasize practical skills people can use between appointments to manage stress, sleep, mood, and difficult memories.
Her clinical approaches include client-centered methods that follow the person's lead, cognitive behavioral strategies to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, and mindfulness techniques to ease overwhelming feelings. Motivational interviewing and solution-focused practices are also part of her toolkit for making small, doable changes. Dolores offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to match different needs and routines.
She works with people facing grief, addiction concerns, relationship and family stress, postpartum depression, caregiver strain, and other life changes. She maintains Arizona licensure as an LCSW (Licensed Clinical Social Worker). To begin, a brief matching questionnaire is completed and scheduling follows the therapist's availability.
The subscription used for sessions can be canceled at any time.

Approaches that fit remote therapy
Dolores commonly uses client-centered therapy, which focuses on listening and following the person's pace. That approach helps when someone needs a calm space to talk and to be heard before making changes.She also uses cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, to help identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. CBT is practical for problems like anxiety, depression, sleep issues, and coping with life changes.
Mindfulness techniques are part of her work too; these teach simple awareness exercises to reduce reactivity and manage stress in daily moments.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Dolores will talk with each person about goals, try methods that fit their needs, and adjust the plan over time. The first sessions often focus on what feels most useful and doable.
Online therapy offers flexibility for many people. Video calls let the therapist and client see each other for a fuller conversation. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be easier during a short break. Live chat or text-based messaging can work for brief check-ins, homework support, or when typing feels more comfortable. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives.
