About Dolliene
Dolliene Raabe is a licensed clinical social worker in Missouri with 20 years of experience supporting people through stress, anxiety, relationship strain, and major life changes. She helps people build confidence, manage low mood, and cope when life feels overwhelming. Dolliene encourages clients to use their existing strengths as the starting point for change.
She focuses on practical, short-term tools that people can use between sessions. Conversations often center on current problems and clear steps to move forward. Dolliene emphasizes small, achievable goals to rebuild motivation and improve daily routines.
Dolliene uses methods drawn from cognitive behavioral therapy and solution-focused therapy to keep work concrete and goal-oriented. Sessions typically look at unhelpful thinking patterns and test new ways of behaving. The aim is to reduce immediate distress and create habits that support longer-term well-being.
She also supports people facing grief, trauma and abuse, caregiving strain, chronic illness, and the fallout from separation or infidelity. Dolliene helps those coping with body image, loneliness, family of origin issues, and recovery from major disruptions, including coping with natural or human-caused disaster.
Her style is respectful and straightforward. She treats each person as the expert on their life and works together with them to set realistic goals. To begin, people follow the site's Start Therapy steps and schedule sessions based on what fits their needs.
How these approaches translate to online care
People often benefit from clear, practical methods that can be used between sessions. Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, helps identify unhelpful thoughts and habits and then tests new ways of thinking and acting to reduce stress and low mood. Solution-focused therapy zeroes in on small, concrete changes and the steps that move someone toward their goals rather than spending long periods on the past.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to choose methods that match their needs, goals, and preferences, and will adjust the plan over time based on what is helpful.
Session logistics should be confirmed before booking because formats are not specified in the profile. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, such as scheduling a shorter check-in during a break, avoiding travel time, or choosing a format that uses less bandwidth. These practical benefits can help people keep therapy consistent while working toward measurable goals.
