About Dolores

Dolores Aguilar is a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC) practicing in California with 7 years of clinical experience.

Dolores also uses solution-focused and strength-based principles and has training in motivational interviewing. She emphasizes a trauma-informed stance, aiming to build on the skills and strengths that clients already possess while tailoring conversation and treatment plans to each person’s unique needs.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) emphasizes noticing thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, and committing to actions that reflect personal values - this approach can help with anxiety, low motivation, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and adjusting unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors to reduce symptoms of depression, anxiety, and stress. Client-Centered Therapy prioritizes the client's perspective, offering empathetic listening and support so individuals can explore concerns like relationship issues, self-esteem, and identity at their own pace.

The right approach often emerges through collaboration. Dolores Aguilar works with clients to identify goals, preferences, and what feels most useful in practice, adapting methods over time to fit each person’s needs and circumstances.

Online therapy using video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging offers practical flexibility - sessions can fit around work, caregiving, and other responsibilities, and allow continuity of care when in-person visits are difficult. These options make it easier for clients to access licensed professionals and therapists in ways that suit their schedules and communication styles.
