Dolores Smith

Hi, I’m Dolores Smith, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 9+ years of experience helping individuals and adolescents navigate challenges such as anxiety, depression, trauma, and life transitions. I hold a Master’s in Social Work from Widener University and specialize in evidence-based approaches like Motivational Interviewing and Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. My goal is to provide a supportive, nonjudgmental space where you can feel heard, gain insight, and move toward meaningful change.

My approach to therapy is warm, collaborative, and client-centered. I believe a strong therapeutic relationship is the foundation for meaningful change, and I strive to create a safe, nonjudgmental space where clients feel respected and understood. I specialize in working with adolescents and adults facing anxiety, depression, trauma, and life transitions. Whether you're navigating a specific challenge or seeking support during a difficult time, I’ll help you set goals aligned with your values and work toward healing and personal growth.

Clients can expect to leave sessions with greater self-awareness, practical coping tools, and a clearer sense of direction. My goal is to help you feel more empowered, grounded, and supported as you work through challenges. Over time, clients often report improved emotional regulation, stronger relationships, and a deeper understanding of themselves and their goals.
