About Dolores
Dolores Ituarte Valenzuela is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with 10 years of clinical experience. She helps people manage stress, anxiety, anger, and low self-esteem, and supports those coping with trauma and related concerns. She describes working with motivation and confidence, and she notes experience around relationship and separation issues.
In sessions she keeps language straightforward and practical. Conversations focus on current problems and on small, clear steps a person can try between meetings. She uses questions and reflections to help people notice unhelpful patterns and choose different responses.
Dolores integrates several therapeutic styles to match a person's concerns. She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify thinking patterns that feed anxiety or depression. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy techniques help people clarify values and take manageable actions toward them.
She also uses Client-Centered and Emotionally-Focused ideas to help people speak about feelings and understand how relationships affect mood and behavior. Mindfulness practices are offered when someone is interested in learning ways to reduce reactivity or increase present-moment awareness.
Sessions are conversational and goal-oriented. Dolores emphasizes practical skills, clearer communication, and steady progress rather than quick fixes. If family of origin patterns or attachment issues are part of what someone brings, she will work through those themes alongside current life challenges.
How her approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) encourages people to decide what matters to them and take small actions toward those values while accepting difficult thoughts. It can help with anxiety, low motivation, and persistent worry. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and testing unhelpful thoughts and on practicing different behaviors to reduce symptoms of depression and anxiety. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and reflection so people can clarify feelings and make choices that fit their goals.Choosing the right approach is part of the process. Dolores will discuss which methods seem most useful based on a person's goals and preferences, and she works collaboratively to adjust techniques over time. That means trying practical exercises, checking what helps, and shifting focus if needed.
Session format options are not specified in the biography, so confirm current session formats before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit meetings into a busy week, reduce travel time, or allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. Therapists can also use a mix of conversation, worksheets, and mindfulness exercises during remote sessions to support progress.
