Adam Dollen

Adam Dollen is a licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) with 24 years of experience. He helps people who feel anxious, overwhelmed, or stuck. Many clients come because relationships are tense, anger feels hard to manage, or everyday stress is wearing them down.

In sessions he offers a calm, nonjudgmental space to talk through what’s happening. He listens for the patterns that keep problems repeating and works with each person to try practical steps. Those steps are grounded in methods that aim to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors while also increasing emotional awareness.

His background includes long experience using client-centered and cognitive behavioral approaches alongside mindfulness and solution-focused strategies. That blend is used to address issues such as anxiety, depression, grief, addictions, trauma, ADHD, and self-esteem struggles. He also supports people dealing with family and parenting stress, communication problems, and anger.

Adam pays attention to attachment and abandonment concerns, impulsivity, and the emotional effects of divorce or blended-family changes. He also brings experience helping people facing hospice and end-of-life concerns and those coping with isolation or intellectual disability-related challenges.

If someone is unsure where to start, he encourages a short consultation to talk about goals and see if his style fits. Prospective clients are asked to confirm current session options before scheduling.

How these approaches work online

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on understanding each person's experience and building a trusting relationship. Online sessions using this approach let people talk through their concerns while the therapist reflects and helps them find clarity. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going and teaches practical skills to change them. CBT online often includes brief exercises and homework to practice between sessions. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) helps people notice and name strong emotions and how those affect connections with others, which can be useful for anger and relationship struggles.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences and then try methods that make sense for the person. It’s a collaborative effort where adjustments can be made if something isn’t working.

Session format details are not specified here, so please confirm current online options before booking. In general, online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, reduce travel time, and allow brief check-ins when a longer visit isn't possible. Therapists can offer structured exercises, guided mindfulness practices, and step-by-step CBT tools that fit into everyday life without requiring extra time away from regular routines.
