Dolliene Raabe

Dolliene Raabe is a Missouri licensed clinical social worker with 20 years of professional experience. She focuses on practical help for stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, low self-esteem, and depression. Dolliene emphasizes a respectful, down-to-earth approach and encourages people to use their own strengths as they work toward change.

She sees coping with life changes as a common thread behind many struggles. Dolliene listens for what is most important to each person and helps set clear, manageable steps. She frames progress in everyday terms - small changes that add up over time rather than big leaps overnight.

In sessions she draws on approaches that focus on current problems and solutions. The work often looks like identifying unhelpful thinking patterns, trying small experiments, and tracking what works. She helps people build routines that improve sleep, reduce overwhelm, and make relationships feel more manageable.

Dolliene also helps with concerns that can come alongside stress and change, such as caregiver strain, body image worries, grief, chronic illness, and family of origin issues. She treats these topics with practical strategies and straightforward conversation, not jargon.

Her style is collaborative and supportive. She invites people to set goals and tests simple steps together. Parents reading on a phone will find clear language, brief plans, and a steady focus on what helps now.

How her approaches fit into online therapy

Many people come to therapy wanting clear tools they can use right away. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps identify unhelpful thoughts and change small daily habits that affect mood and sleep. It is often useful for anxiety, low mood, and sleep difficulties. Solution-Focused Therapy centers on immediate goals and on what is already working; sessions typically involve setting concrete steps and tracking progress toward a preferred outcome.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Dolliene collaborates with each person to decide which ideas to try first based on goals, needs, and preferences. She adjusts plans if something feels off and emphasizes short practical steps to test between sessions.

If you are considering online sessions, confirm current session options before booking. Many people find remote sessions helpful because they can fit appointments into a workday, reduce travel time, or try a shorter check-in when energy is limited. The therapist will discuss which session arrangements make the most sense for scheduling, follow-up, and achieving the goals you set together.
