About Dolores

Dolores Walker is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) in Colorado who helps people navigating stress, anxiety, addiction, trauma, depression, and major life transitions. With 20 years of clinical work, she emphasizes a whole-person perspective that considers mental, physical, and spiritual dimensions rather than isolating symptoms.

Background and approach

Her practice often addresses relationship strain, grief, parenting challenges, anger, and struggles with self-esteem and life purpose. Dolores blends evidence-based tools such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) with Jungian ideas and motivational interviewing to support meaningful change.

She frames therapy as a collaborative walk alongside each client, aiming to uncover underlying drivers of behavior so that coping skills and daily routines better align with personal values. Her background includes a long history with substance use concerns and related trauma, and she works with mood disorders, bipolar challenges, and other complex presentations.

Clients can expect a practitioner who values partnership, practical skills, and exploration of deeper patterns. Dolores brings steady clinical experience while adapting methods to each person’s needs, helping them move toward greater balance, resilience, and a more purposeful life.

Online approaches that blend skills and self-discovery

Dolores commonly integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) in online work. CBT focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors using practical exercises and skill-building strategies to reduce symptoms like anxiety or depression. ACT emphasizes clarifying values, accepting difficult experiences, and committing to actions that move a person toward a meaningful life, which can help with stress, grief, and coping with change.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Dolores approaches this collaboratively. She will work with clients to explore their goals, preferences, and responses to different techniques, adapting methods over time so the plan fits individual needs rather than applying a single formula.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, which provides flexibility for scheduling and for using formats that suit a client’s comfort level. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care during busy schedules or life transitions while allowing the therapist and client to focus on practical skills and deeper exploration together.
