Dolores Cancino

Dolores Cancino is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 26 years of experience. She has spent much of her career supporting people through trauma, depression, anxiety, grief, and stress. Dolores emphasizes building a respectful, straightforward relationship so clients can feel heard and make real changes.

She began in family services, working on foster care, adoption, and abuse and neglect cases. Later she moved into crisis social work in inpatient settings and spent a long period working with active duty military and veterans. That history informs how she approaches difficult experiences today.

Sessions tend to be direct and compassionate. Dolores aims to walk alongside people as they identify patterns, cope with loss, and manage overwhelming feelings. She draws on approaches that help people change behaviors, notice unhelpful thoughts, and practice calmer responses to triggers.

Dolores uses Client-Centered work to create a respectful space, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to address thinking and behavior patterns, and Mindfulness strategies to reduce stress. She also draws on Motivational Interviewing and Solution-Focused methods when helping people set goals and take practical steps forward.

She works with a wide range of concerns including sleep and rest problems, addictions, caregiving strain, postpartum depression, first responder and veteran issues, and relationship or family stress. Sessions are offered in English and take place with a focus on fitting therapy into everyday life.
