About Dolliene
Dolliene Raabe is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Missouri with 20 years of professional experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, self-esteem struggles, depression, and coping with life changes. She also addresses issues like grief, trauma and abuse, compassion fatigue, and problems with sleeping and intimacy.
Raabe approaches sessions with a focus on the client’s own strengths and knowledge of their life. She treats clients as the experts on their experiences and helps them build on what already works. Conversations are practical and goal-oriented, aimed at clearer steps forward rather than abstract theories.
She uses methods drawn from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Solution-Focused Therapy to break problems into manageable parts. That can mean identifying patterns of thought that add to anxiety, or trying short experiments to see what changes relieve pressure. Sessions often include concrete tools clients can use between meetings.
People who reach out for relationship or intimacy concerns can expect direct work on communication and decision points. For stress, caregiver strain, or chronic illness, the work often centers on coping strategies and small routine adjustments that reduce overwhelm.
Raabe encourages a straightforward pace. She helps set clear goals and checks progress each session. New clients are invited to start by describing what they want to change and what small steps feel doable next.
How her approaches translate to online sessions
CBT, or Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, focuses on spotting thoughts and behaviors that keep problems active. In practice this means identifying unhelpful thinking patterns, trying small changes, and tracking what shifts. It is often used for anxiety, low mood, and sleep problems. Solution-Focused Therapy centers on specific, short-term goals and on what works now. Sessions using this method look for practical steps and small experiments that move a person toward clearer day-to-day improvements. It suits people who want focused, actionable progress. Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist discusses your goals and preferences and suggests which methods to try. Decisions are made collaboratively and adjusted as you see what helps. Confirm the available session formats before booking so you know how meetings are arranged. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, shorten check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. It also allows using written homework and brief between-session tasks that reinforce CBT and solution-focused techniques.Areas of expertise
