Dolores Beynor, LCSW, LICSW

Dolores Beynor is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who brings 39 years of experience to conversations about stress, anxiety, mood struggles, addiction, relationship concerns, and grief. She speaks plainly and offers a calm presence for people who are worn down or unsure where to start. Dolores helps clients set clear goals and focuses on the issues they name as most important.

Her work balances straightforward talk with practical information. She encourages people to describe what they are feeling and offers psycho-education about depression, anxiety, substance use, grief, and related issues. Sessions may include supportive feedback, skills to manage difficult moments, and steps to try between meetings.

Dolores draws on a mix of approaches to match each person’s needs. She commonly uses client-centered techniques to follow what the client brings, cognitive behavioral ideas to spot unhelpful patterns, and solution-focused strategies to build manageable changes. Motivational interviewing and psychodynamic ideas also inform her thinking when they fit the situation.

She has worked across many settings and age groups, including work with older adults and caregivers. Dolores describes collaboration as central: she and the client create treatment goals together and adjust the plan as needs change.

Dolores works from a stance of respect and compassion and aims to empower people to handle life changes, improve relationships, and regain a sense of control. Prospective clients are encouraged to begin by describing their current struggles and goals so they can decide if her style feels like the right match.

How Dolores’ approaches work in online therapy

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and following the client's lead. The therapist creates space for the client to name priorities and guides conversations around those needs. This approach is useful when someone wants to be heard and to build goals at their own pace.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect. Dolores may help a client notice unhelpful thinking patterns and try small behavior changes to test new ways of coping. CBT is often helpful for anxiety, depression, and habits that feed stress.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Dolores will collaborate with the client to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences, and she adjusts the plan as progress is made. The process is framed as a team effort rather than a fixed prescription.

For practical matters, confirm which session formats are currently offered before booking. Online options can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and let people meet from a convenient location. Licensed professionals, including Dolores, aim to use methods that fit a person's life and goals rather than forcing a specific style.
