Dolliene Raabe, LCSW - Therapist in Missouri

About Dolliene

Dolliene Raabe is a licensed clinical social worker with 20 years of experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, and relationship struggles. She practices in Missouri and uses practical, straightforward methods to help clients find clearer paths forward. Dolliene emphasizes real strengths people already have and works alongside them to build on those assets.

She focuses on everyday concerns like low self-esteem, motivation, grief, and coping with life changes. Sessions aim to identify small, doable steps that move a person toward better functioning and more satisfying relationships.

Background and approach

Dolliene keeps conversations direct and grounded so busy parents and caretakers can apply ideas between sessions. Dolliene draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions, and Solution-Focused Therapy, which zeroes in on practical changes that produce quick relief. She helps people try new habits and notice what works.

Progress is measured in concrete shifts rather than abstract promises. Her areas of attention also include compassion fatigue, intimacy-related issues, sleep difficulties, and trauma and abuse. Additional focus topics include blended family issues, caregiver stress, chronic illness, communication problems, and forgiveness.

The practice aims to meet people where they are and move at a pace that feels manageable. Dolliene invites clients who want a collaborative, straightforward approach to problem solving. She supports setting realistic goals and testing small changes to see meaningful results over time.

Approaches for online sessions and practical change

CBT, or Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, focuses on the connection between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It helps people spot unhelpful thinking patterns and try different behaviors to reduce anxiety, low mood, and stress-related symptoms.

Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on what is already working and on short-term steps that lead to improvement. This approach is useful for people who want concrete strategies for relationship problems, motivation, or coping with life changes.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and daily realities to decide whether CBT, solution-focused methods, or a blend makes the most sense. Clients are invited to give feedback so therapy stays practical and responsive.

Online therapy with video, phone, live chat, or text messaging offers flexibility for busy schedules and for those who cannot travel easily. These options make it possible to pick the format that fits a client’s routine and comfort level, while keeping focus on small, achievable steps that can be practiced between sessions.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.

Solution-Focused Therapy

Rather than examining the problem at length, this looks at what is already working and builds on it. Sessions tend to be practical and forward-looking, with small achievable steps, which translates readily to shorter online conversations.
