About Dolores Cancino

Dolores Cancino is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) who brings more than 20 years of social work experience to her clinical practice. She began her career in family services addressing abuse, neglect, foster care, and adoption issues, and later moved into crisis social work in an inpatient hospital setting supporting people with serious mental illness and their families.

Much of her work has focused on active duty military members and veterans, and she has specialized as a trauma therapist. Her clinical experience includes supporting people dealing with depression, anxiety, trauma and abuse, LGBTQ+ concerns, adoption and foster care challenges, and the stresses of caregiving. Colleagues and clients have noted her caring, nonjudgmental manner as well as an honest and direct approach to treatment.

Clients can expect a collaborative partnership in which she walks alongside them while helping them explore how they relate to themselves and the world. She prefers video sessions to help foster connection but is also available by phone and text. She currently has availability late in the day (ET) and checks messages several times daily, responding as she is able. She welcomes the opportunity to work with people ready to address meaningful life challenges.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Dolores Cancino integrates client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), and mindfulness techniques into her online work. Client-centered therapy focuses on listening with empathy and creating a respectful space where the client leads the conversation - this approach helps people who need support exploring values, identity, and life direction. Cognitive behavioral therapy helps identify unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and teaches practical skills to manage symptoms like anxiety and depression. Mindfulness therapy introduces simple awareness and grounding practices that can reduce stress and improve emotional regulation, which is useful for trauma responses and chronic worry.

Finding the right approach is part of the collaborative work she does with each person. Dolores will discuss goals, preferences, and needs and tailor interventions to fit the individual, adjusting methods over time as progress and circumstances evolve.

Online therapy with her is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to maintain consistent care, access licensed professionals from different locations, and choose the format that best supports ongoing engagement and progress.
