About Dolores
Dolores Cancino is an LCSW - Licensed Clinical Social Worker practicing in Arizona with 26 years of experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, depression, addictions, relationship and family concerns, parenting struggles, anger, career changes, and related life challenges. Dolores also addresses issues tied to caregiving, adoption and foster care, and military and veteran concerns.
Her background began in family services, focusing on abuse, neglect, foster care and adoption. She later moved into crisis social work in an inpatient hospital setting and spent many years supporting active duty military and veteran populations. That history shaped her focus on trauma work and on helping people handle intense life events.
In sessions she is direct and practical. She aims to help people learn more about how they react and relate, and to move toward clearer choices in daily life. People meet straightforward conversation, feedback, and step-by-step strategies rather than vague reassurance.
Dolores uses several evidence-informed approaches. She draws on client-centered work to follow the client's concerns, cognitive behavioral tools to spot thinking and behavior patterns, mindfulness skills to reduce reactivity, and solution-focused steps to set immediate goals. Motivational techniques support change when ambivalence shows up.
She often offers video sessions and can also use phone and text when that fits the client. Sessions are scheduled through a subscription that may be canceled at any time. To begin, a short matching questionnaire is completed and a first session is scheduled.
How sessions work
How her therapeutic approaches translate to online work
Dolores integrates client-centered work and cognitive behavioral therapy in a way that fits remote sessions. Client-centered work means she listens to what matters to the client and follows those priorities, helping people name what feels hardest. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying patterns of thought and behavior that feed anger and stress, then testing small changes to see what helps.She also uses mindfulness techniques to help reduce reactivity and increase awareness of physical and emotional cues. These skills can be practiced during sessions and between meetings to reduce snapping or impulsive responses. Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the first few sessions and she works with clients to decide which methods match their goals and preferences.
The biography notes the use of video sessions and the option of phone and text contact when that suits the client. Confirm the current session options before booking so you know whether video, phone, or text is offered. Online work can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and avoid travel time while still using hands-on exercises and behavioral homework.
