Practical approaches and online therapy options
Dolores uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help people manage mood and stress. One common approach she uses focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and testing new ways of thinking and acting; this can help with anxiety, low mood, and self-criticism. Another approach emphasizes building coping skills and gradual exposure to difficult memories or situations to reduce the power of trauma-related reactions.Finding the best approach is a shared process. Dolores works with each person to clarify goals and preferences, then adapts methods to fit those needs. She checks in regularly and adjusts the plan when something is not helping.
Online therapy with Dolores is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video sessions are useful for in-depth conversations and nonverbal cues. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when someone needs a shorter check-in. Live chat and text messaging let people send quick updates, ask questions between sessions, or work through immediate coping steps without scheduling a full call.
