About Adam

Adam Dollen is an LMHC with 24 years of clinical experience who draws on collaborative, evidence-based methods to help clients move past patterns that leave them stuck or overwhelmed.

Background and approach

He blends client-centered listening with targeted interventions so people can better understand the roots of their stress, anxiety, depression, grief, addiction, or ADHD-related challenges and begin practicing changes that fit their life. In sessions he creates a respectful, nonjudgmental environment where practical skills meet emotional exploration.

His work commonly addresses relationship struggles, impulsivity, self-esteem concerns, and trauma and abuse, while also attending to related areas such as attachment wounds, communication problems, and issues that arise during divorce, blended family transitions, or end-of-life caregiving. Techniques include cognitive behavioral strategies, mindfulness practices, emotionally-focused work, and solution-focused planning tailored to each client's goals.

Adam offers clear, goal-oriented support aimed at helping people reduce symptoms, improve coping, and restore a greater sense of connection and control. He invites prospective clients to begin with a brief consultation to determine whether his approach aligns with their needs and to discuss next steps for scheduling.

Evidence-Based Approaches for Online Healing

Adam often uses cognitive behavioral therapy and mindfulness-based techniques in online work. CBT focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, offering practical skills to reduce anxiety, manage mood, and address ADHD-related patterns. Mindfulness-based practices teach present-moment awareness and stress-reduction exercises that can help with emotional regulation, impulsivity, and ongoing worry.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. He partners with clients to clarify goals and preferences, then adapts methods from client-centered, CBT, or emotionally-focused models to fit the person's needs rather than imposing a single technique. This helps ensure the plan evolves as progress and priorities shift.

Online therapy with Adam is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, providing flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These formats let clients access consistent care from home or work, maintain continuity during life transitions, and choose the mode of communication that supports their progress.
