About Dolores
Dolores Ituarte Valenzuela is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas who uses a warm, person-centered style to help people manage strong emotions. She focuses on stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, anger, low self-esteem, and depression. Dolores aims to make sessions feel straightforward and approachable so people can speak honestly about what’s worrying them.
She draws on acceptance and commitment ideas and cognitive behavioral tools to help clients notice unhelpful patterns and try new ways of responding.
Background and approach
Sessions often include simple exercises to name thoughts and feelings, set small steps, and practice different behaviors between meetings. Dolores also uses mindfulness practices to help people calm their bodies and attention during hard moments. Her work emphasizes listening without judgment and tailoring techniques to each person’s situation.
She helps people identify values, set realistic goals, and build small routines that reduce daily stress. For anger concerns she focuses on recognizing triggers, learning calming strategies, and finding safer ways to express strong feelings. Dolores has ten years of professional experience in counseling.
She combines practical, short-term strategies with deeper conversation when needed. That mix helps people handle immediate problems while also addressing patterns that keep them stuck. Sessions are offered in English and are provided through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging.
Dolores practices in Texas as an LPC and uses clear steps to help people get started on therapy.

How Dolores Uses Practical Approaches Online
Dolores often draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in online work. ACT helps people clarify what matters to them and take small steps toward those values even when feelings are intense. Cognitive behavioral work focuses on spotting thoughts that worsen mood and practicing alternative behaviors that reduce stress and anger.She also integrates Client-Centered Therapy principles, which means the therapist listens closely and follows each person's pace. That collaborative stance helps someone and the therapist decide together which ideas to try and which techniques feel most helpful for their goals.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. Dolores will discuss goals, preferences, and daily routines to choose methods that fit a person’s life. She adapts exercises so they work over video, phone, chat, or text and checks in regularly to see what helps.
Online formats offer practical flexibility and consistent contact. Video calls are useful for deeper conversation and visible cues, phone sessions can fit a break at work or use less bandwidth, live chat works for quick check-ins, and text-based messaging supports ongoing reflections between sessions. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent while matching how someone prefers to communicate.
