About Dolores
Dolores Beynor is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, substance concerns, and parenting challenges. She brings a calm, respectful presence and focuses on practical steps a person can use right away. Dolores listens first and then works with each person to set clear goals they want to reach.
With 39 years of practice, she draws on a range of methods to match what a client needs.
Background and approach
She offers individual and group work and has experience with older adults and caregivers. Dolores also has experience helping people after trauma and with relationship and grief issues. Sessions include straightforward information about conditions like depression, anxiety, substance use, or grief so clients understand what’s happening.
She uses talk, guidance, and skill-building to help people manage day-to-day problems. The plan is always made together, focusing on the client’s immediate concerns. Dolores commonly uses cognitive behavioral techniques to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors.
She also uses client-centered and psychodynamic ideas to explore feelings and patterns that affect relationships. Motivational interviewing and solution-focused methods help when the goal is behavioral change or short-term problem solving. She is licensed in Florida as LCSW and also holds a Massachusetts LICSW.
Sessions are provided in English and Dolores is available to work with international clients. Her approach is steady, practical, and respectful of each person’s pace and priorities.
Therapeutic approaches and online options
Dolores typically blends cognitive behavioral therapy and client-centered work to address immediate problems and long-standing patterns. Cognitive behavioral therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors to reduce symptoms such as anxiety or depression. Client-centered therapy emphasizes empathic listening and supporting the person’s own goals and choices.She also uses motivational interviewing when people are weighing change, helping them find their own reasons to move forward. The therapist will work collaboratively with each client to decide which approach fits best based on needs, goals, and personal preferences. That choice is part of the work together rather than a one-size-fits-all prescription.
Online options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These formats make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, allow ongoing contact for skill practice between meetings, and offer different ways to communicate depending on comfort and access. Dolores aims to match approach and format to what helps each person make steady progress.
Client-Centered Therapy
The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.
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.
Motivational Interviewing
A way of working through mixed feelings about change without being pushed. The therapist helps you weigh things up and find your own reasons, which often makes a difficult decision feel less stuck.
