About Dolores
Dolores Cancino is an LCSW with 26 years of practice experience in Arizona. She has worked in family services, inpatient crisis care, and with active duty military and veterans. She focuses on stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, depression, addictions, LGBT concerns, relationship and family issues, parenting, and caregiving challenges.
She started her career in family services handling abuse, neglect, foster care, and adoption matters. Later she moved into crisis social work in inpatient hospital settings, supporting people with serious mental illness and their families. Much of her work has involved military and veteran populations and trauma-focused care.
Her sessions are direct and practical. She uses Client-Centered Therapy to listen and help people reflect on their own goals. She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thoughts and test new ways of responding. Mindfulness and Motivational Interviewing appear in her approach when people need skills for coping and making changes.
People can expect straightforward feedback and clear discussion about what to try next. She often suggests small, manageable steps to practice between meetings. She also works on communication problems, caregiver stress, and life changes like divorce, illness, or relocation.
She offers sessions in English for adults in Arizona. Cost varies with location and sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time. To begin, clients are asked to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session using the See online therapy options button.
Using CBT and related methods in online sessions
Dolores commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and test practical alternatives. CBT sessions often focus on clear goals, short experiments to try between meetings, and tracking how new responses affect mood and behavior.She also uses Client-Centered Therapy to create a conversational tone where a person can state goals and feel heard. Mindfulness Therapy is offered as a simple set of attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and improve sleep and stress management.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. She will collaborate with each person to decide whether CBT, client-centered conversation, mindfulness exercises, or a combination is the best fit based on goals and daily life. That choice can change over time as needs shift.
Session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make scheduling easier, help fit therapy into a busy day, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. It can also let someone use phone calls instead of video when that suits them better, or focus sessions around brief skill practice between meetings.
