About Dolores

Dolores Beynor is a licensed clinical social worker with 39 years of practice helping people address a wide range of emotional and behavioral concerns.

Background and approach

She works with clients who face stress, anxiety, depression, substance use issues, trauma and abuse, relationship and intimacy matters, grief, parenting challenges, and related struggles such as low self-esteem and compassion fatigue. Dolores draws on long experience to meet each person where they are and focus on the priorities the client identifies.

Her approach blends practical skills with supportive guidance: she uses cognitive behavioral techniques to shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, client-centered methods to honor each person’s perspective, and motivational interviewing to encourage change. She also incorporates psychodynamic and solution-focused elements and psychoeducation about topics like substance use, coping with loss, and caregiver stress.

Dolores has provided individual, group, and family therapy and has worked with geriatric clients and adolescents among other adults. Licensed in Florida (LCSW) and Massachusetts (LICSW), she emphasizes dignity, respect, and compassion while collaborating with clients to set achievable treatment goals and build the skills needed to cope and move forward.

Online approaches that combine skills and support

Dolores uses cognitive behavioral techniques to help clients identify unhelpful thinking and build practical coping skills for anxiety, depression, stress, and behaviors related to addiction. Client-centered therapy is another cornerstone of her work, emphasizing listening, respect, and collaboration so that treatment follows the client’s priorities and strengths. Motivational interviewing is used when people are ambivalent about change, offering a supportive way to explore values and increase readiness to act.

Finding the right blend of methods is treated as a collaborative process. She will help clients clarify goals, try specific strategies, and adjust the plan based on what is most helpful. This collaborative stance aims to match therapeutic tools to the person’s needs and preferences rather than applying a single fixed model.

Online therapy with Dolores is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility for different schedules and communication styles. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care, practice new skills between sessions, and access consistent support regardless of geography while working with licensed professionals.
