About Dolores Aguilar

Dolores Aguilar is a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor - LPCC (CA LPCC 13437) practicing in California who focuses on helping people navigate stress, anxiety, depression, addiction, relationship and family concerns, trauma, grief, and issues related to identity and intimacy. She centers her work on a solution-focused, strength-based foundation while integrating trauma-informed care and evidence-based techniques. Dolores also has training in Motivational Interviewing, Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) which she draws on to tailor treatment to each person’s needs.

Her aim is to help clients build on existing skills and strengths, collaboratively shaping conversations and treatment plans to address goals such as improving self-esteem, managing cravings or drinking, coping with life changes, and resolving communication or commitment challenges. Dolores applies sensitivity and compassion when working with LGBT concerns, body image, caregiver stress, family of origin issues, and co-occurring conditions, always adapting approaches to the individual’s circumstances.

Dolores keeps regular practice hours from 8:00 am to 5:00 pm Monday through Friday and typically responds at least once each morning and once each evening. Clients may book live sessions in advance, and if an open slot is not visible Dolores encourages messaging to explore alternative times. She acknowledges that starting therapy can take courage and offers a supportive, person-centered process to help people get started.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) supports people in clarifying personal values and taking action toward a meaningful life even when difficult thoughts or feelings arise. ACT can help with anxiety, depression, and challenges around motivation and purpose. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and adjusting unhelpful thoughts and behaviors to reduce symptoms and improve daily functioning; it is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress management. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathy, respect, and collaboration, creating a supportive environment where clients lead the pace of exploration and change.



Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the process. Dolores works collaboratively with clients to determine which combination of methods best fits their needs, goals, and preferences, adapting plans over time as progress and priorities evolve.



Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can take place by video call or phone, and therapists can also communicate through live chat or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to schedule care around work, family, and geographic limitations, and they allow licensed professionals to provide consistent support in ways that suit each person’s routine and comfort.
