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 in repeating patterns. His approach aims to reduce distress and restore a sense of connection and control.

In sessions he creates a supportive, non-judgmental space to talk openly about what is happening. He listens first, then works with each person to identify steps that make day-to-day life easier. Practical tools and clear strategies are a regular part of the work together.

Adam combines several evidence-based ways of working to fit individual needs. He uses client-centered methods to follow a person’s priorities, cognitive behavioral techniques to address thinking and behavior patterns, emotionally-focused ideas to look at relationship patterns, and mindfulness practices to calm reactivity. Solution-focused strategies are used when quick, concrete changes are needed.

He has worked with a wide range of concerns across his career, including stress, anxiety, depression, addictions, trauma and abuse, grief, ADHD, anger, and issues around self-esteem. He also supports people dealing with family problems, parenting strain, blended family concerns, attachment and abandonment questions, and intellectual disability-related matters.

If someone wants to begin, the first step is a short matching questionnaire and a scheduling process through the site. The therapist invites prospective clients to start with that brief intake so they can decide together if his style fits their needs.

Approach-focused online therapy that adapts to your needs

Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and following the client's priorities. The therapist creates space to name what matters most and supports progress at the client's pace. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going and teaches practical skills to change them. Emotionally-Focused Therapy helps people understand their emotional responses and improve how they connect in relationships.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist treats choosing a method as a collaborative process and will discuss which options fit the client's goals and preferences. Together they try approaches, notice what helps, and adjust the plan as needed.

Session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm current online options before booking. In general, online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Talk with the therapist during the matching process about what will work best for scheduling and day-to-day needs.
