Remote therapy style and communication options
Dolores integrates evidence-based methods such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Trauma-Focused Therapy with mindfulness-informed techniques to address symptoms and patterns that emerge after painful events. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is explained and used in clear, practical terms to identify unhelpful thoughts and to develop alternative ways of coping. Trauma-Focused Therapy provides a framework for working through traumatic memories and related responses in a paced, structured way.She also draws on client-centered and solution-focused strategies to keep sessions collaborative and goal-oriented, and uses motivational interviewing when discussing change and readiness. This combination supports clients who prefer practical skills, reflective exploration, or a mix of both approaches.
Dolores offers remote sessions by video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options are presented so individuals can choose the mode of communication that best fits their needs and comfort level while working together.
