About
Adam Dollen is an Iowa-licensed LMHC with 24 years of clinical practice supporting adults and families working through stress, anxiety, grief, relationship challenges, mood concerns, and addiction. He brings a practical orientation that emphasizes understanding the patterns that keep people feeling stuck and exploring options that fit each person’s life and goals.
His work draws on several evidence-informed methods, including cognitive behavioral techniques, emotion-focused work, mindfulness practices, solution-focused strategies, and trauma-informed approaches. Sessions are aimed at helping clients notice unhelpful patterns, develop concrete tools for coping, and rebuild connections that matter in day-to-day life.
Clients often pursue therapy to address issues such as attachment and abandonment, parenting and blended family dynamics, impulse control, body image, and end-of-life concerns. Adam frames the process as a collaboration: he listens for what matters most, offers tailored strategies, and checks in regularly to adjust the plan as needs evolve.
Remote treatment using collaborative, skills-oriented methods
Adam provides online sessions that combine practical skills training with attention to emotional experience. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is used to identify thinking and behavioral patterns that contribute to stress, anxiety, or low mood and to practice alternative responses. Mindfulness-based techniques are introduced to help increase awareness of present-moment experience and reduce reactivity. Emotionally-Focused Therapy supports exploration of attachment needs and patterns within relationships to clarify emotional responses and improve communication.
Work is framed as a collaboration in which the therapist and client set goals, try strategies between sessions, and adjust focus based on what is most helpful. Remote options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These modes allow for regular check-ins and flexible ways to practice new skills between appointments.
Sessions are tailored to the concerns brought to therapy, whether the focus is on coping with trauma, managing impulsivity, navigating family change, or rebuilding self-esteem. The therapist and client decide together which combination of approaches fits best.How many years has Adam been practicing?
