Dolores Beynor , LCSW, LICSW

Dolores Beynor is a seasoned Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 39 years of experience providing therapy to people facing a wide range of life challenges. She holds the credentials LCSW and LICSW - professional licenses that authorize her to deliver clinical social work and psychotherapeutic services. Based in Florida, she has worked with individuals of many ages, including adolescents and geriatric clients, offering individual, group, and family therapy for concerns such as depression, anxiety, phobias, anger management, substance use, relationship difficulties, trauma, and post-traumatic stress.

She has specific experience supporting women who have experienced emotional, physical, or sexual abuse and addressing caregiver stresses that often accompany aging and family responsibilities. Dolores combines therapeutic conversation with psychoeducation to give clients clear information about conditions like depression, anxiety, substance use, grief, and relationship problems, helping them understand symptoms and options for change.

Her approach is collaborative and respectful - she begins where each person is and tailors treatment to the individual, drawing from methods such as cognitive behavioral techniques, reality-oriented choices, supportive measures, and psychoeducation. Together with clients she develops measurable treatment goals and focuses on the most pressing needs they identify, with an emphasis on dignity, respect, and compassionate care.

Therapeutic Approaches for Online Care and Support

Dolores Beynor draws on client-centered therapy to create a respectful, empathetic space where the client's experience guides the work - this approach helps people clarify their goals and feel heard while building self-directed change. She also uses cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), which focuses on identifying and shifting unhelpful thoughts and behaviors to reduce symptoms of anxiety, depression, and related challenges. Motivational interviewing is another tool she employs to help people resolve ambivalence and strengthen motivation for change, especially useful with substance use, behavioral shifts, and readiness-related goals.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Dolores works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences, and she adjusts the plan as progress unfolds. This partnership helps ensure therapy feels relevant and practical for the client.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect - video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging allow clients to access licensed professionals from home, during work breaks, or while traveling. These options increase accessibility and make it easier to maintain continuity of care alongside daily responsibilities.
