Dolores Walker, LPC - Therapist in Colorado

About Dolores

Dolores Walker is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Colorado with twenty years of experience. She focuses on practical help for stress, anxiety, addictions, depression, grief, parenting challenges, relationship problems, and life transitions. Her tone is straightforward and calm so a worried parent can read quickly and know what to expect.

She describes her work as holistic, meaning she pays attention to mind, body, and spirit rather than only one symptom.

Background and approach

That perspective looks for the root of problems instead of treating only what shows up first. Dolores emphasizes partnering with people - walking alongside them rather than telling them what to do. Her methods include Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, together with Jungian ideas and Motivational Interviewing.

She uses those tools to help people notice patterns, test new behaviors, and connect with what matters to them. Sessions often combine practical steps with deeper reflection. Dolores has long experience with substance use and the trauma and mental health issues that often go with it.

She also attends to family and parenting concerns and to changes that come with aging and life transitions. She aims to help people regain balance and a clearer sense of purpose. Sessions are offered in English and provided online through video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging.

The process begins by choosing the Start Therapy button, completing a short matching questionnaire, and scheduling a session based on the therapist's availability.

Practical approaches for online healing and growth

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice painful thoughts without getting stuck in them and focus on actions that match their values. It is useful for anxiety, depression, and getting through life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect and teaches concrete skills to shift unhelpful patterns. It often helps with stress, anxiety, mood, and problem solving. Motivational Interviewing is a short, goal-focused style that helps increase a person’s readiness to make changes, especially around substance use or other behaviors they want to change.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss options and collaborate with the person to find what fits their needs, goals, and preferences. That may mean mixing techniques and adjusting methods over time as progress is tracked.

Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, follow up between meetings, and keep momentum when life gets hectic. For many people, remote sessions allow steady, ongoing support without extra travel time or disruption.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)

Less about arguing with difficult thoughts, more about loosening their grip and acting on what matters to you anyway. Values and committed action carry the work, which suits conversation at a distance.

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.
