About Dolores
Her clinical experience includes helping clients manage anxiety, panic attacks, depression, low self-confidence and self-esteem, substance-related concerns, and relationship difficulties. Del draws from a range of therapeutic methods - including cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), solution-focused techniques, and psychodynamic ideas - adapting her approach to match each client s needs and goals. She approaches therapy as a curious listener, collaborating with clients to identify and remove the barriers that keep them from becoming the people they want to be. This flexible, client-centered stance helps her tailor treatment to the unique challenges each person brings to the session.
Attachment, CBT, and DBT in an Online Setting
Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on patterns in close relationships and how early connections shape current emotional responses - it can help people navigate trust, commitment, and fears of abandonment. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, making it useful for anxiety, depression, perfectionism, and low self-esteem. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) emphasizes emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness, which can support those experiencing intense emotions, impulsivity, or relationship difficulties.
Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the process, and Dolores "Del" Larkin works collaboratively with each client to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. She tailors treatment plans and integrates techniques so clients receive personalized care rather than a one-size-fits-all program.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility - video calls and phone sessions allow face-to-face conversation from home, while live chat and text-based messaging provide alternatives for those who prefer written communication or need brief check-ins. These options make it easier to maintain consistent care around work, family, and travel, and allow clients to access licensed professionals from a range of locations.
