About Dolores

Dolores Cancino is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in Arizona with 26 years of experience. She helps people manage stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, depression, and relationship and family concerns. Dolores also works with issues like addiction, sleep problems, self-esteem, parenting, career stress, and compassion fatigue.

Her career began in family services addressing abuse, neglect, foster care, and adoption. She later worked in crisis social work in inpatient hospital settings supporting people with serious mental illness and their families. Much of her work has involved active duty military members and veterans, with a focus on trauma-related concerns.

In sessions she is direct and practical. She listens to what is happening now and helps people identify small, clear steps they can try between meetings. People can expect straightforward feedback and help noticing patterns that affect mood, relationships, and coping.

Dolores uses approaches that include client-centered work, cognitive behavioral techniques, mindfulness, motivational interviewing, and solution-focused strategies. She draws on those methods to address specific problems like panic, low mood, caregiving stress, or major life changes.

Sessions are offered in English. Cost varies by location and is managed through a subscription that can be canceled at any time. To begin, select the See online therapy options button, complete the short matching questionnaire, and schedule a first session.

BHow sessions work

How her approaches are used in online sessions

Many of her sessions use client-centered work, which focuses on listening carefully and reflecting what matters to the person. This approach helps when someone needs to sort out feelings about relationships, caregiving, or life changes.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts and behaviors keep problems going. CBT is practical and problem-focused and can help with anxiety, depression, sleep issues, and coping after trauma.

Mindfulness therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and ease stress. It can be useful for managing anxiety, improving sleep, and handling strong emotions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Dolores will review options with the client and pick methods that fit the person’s goals, needs, and preferences. She treats this as a collaborative process and adjusts methods over time based on what is helpful.

Session formats should be confirmed before booking since specific formats are not listed in the profile. Ask about the available options when you schedule. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and offer a way to keep continuity of care when life gets disrupted.
