About
Adam Dollen, LMHC, is a licensed mental health counselor who works with adults who may feel anxious, overwhelmed, emotionally worn down, or stuck in repeating patterns. Many people who reach out to him appear to be holding things together on the outside while privately feeling stressed, disconnected, or uncertain about what needs to change. He approaches therapy as a place to slow down, understand what is happening beneath the surface, and begin taking practical steps toward meaningful change.
He offers a supportive, non-judgmental environment where clients can speak openly, make sense of their experiences, and learn tools they can use in everyday life. His work is grounded in evidence-based care and is tailored to each person rather than relying on a one-size-fits-all plan. Depending on a client’s needs, he may draw from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), mindfulness-based techniques, trauma-informed therapy, and solution-focused strategies to support progress in a way that feels realistic and workable.
Adam emphasizes the importance of fit in the therapy relationship and welcomes questions from people who are considering starting counseling. He aims to help clients feel less alone in what they are carrying and more supported as they move toward change.
Therapeutic tools that translate well to online care
Adam Dollen, LMHC, draws from approaches that can be especially effective in an online setting. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps clients notice how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors interact, then practice new ways of responding to stress, anxiety, and discouraging patterns. Mindfulness Therapy focuses on building steadiness and awareness in the present moment, which can be useful when the mind feels busy, overwhelmed, or reactive. Solution-Focused Therapy emphasizes strengths and small, practical steps, helping clients clarify goals and identify what is already working so progress feels attainable.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. Adam works collaboratively, adjusting the structure and tools to match a client’s needs, goals, and preferences. Some people want concrete strategies right away, while others want more room to explore what is driving their emotions and relationships. Both can be supported within a flexible plan.
Online therapy also makes it easier to get consistent support. Sessions can happen through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, allowing clients to choose the format that fits their comfort level and schedule. This flexibility can be helpful for busy routines, changing needs, and maintaining momentum between sessions.How much experience does Adam Dollen have?
