Adam is very experienced and it shows with his understanding and explanations. Helped me understand there's always another side to things that I'm not thinking about. Very easy to talk to and I would recommend him to anyone looking for the same kind of help that I was.

Do you feel constantly anxious, overwhelmed, or emotionally exhausted. Perhaps your mind won’t stop racing, relationships feel difficult, or you’re tired of feeling stuck in the same patterns. Many of the people I work with look like they’re managing life on the outside—but inside they feel stressed, disconnected, or unsure how to move. Therapy can help you understand what’s going on beneath the surface and begin making meaningful changes.
I provide a supportive, non-judgmental space where you can talk openly, make sense of what you're experiencing, and apply practical tools that work.
I use evidence-based approaches tailored to your needs, including:
- Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
- Mindfulness-based techniques
- Trauma-informed therapy
- Solution-focused strategies
Rather than a one-size-fits-all method, we work together to find what actually works for you.
Finding the right therapist matters. If you’re thinking about starting therapy, I invite you to reach out for a brief consultation so we can see if it feels like a good fit.
- You can contact me by phone or email to ask questions or schedule an appointment. (For more information view my profile on Psychology Today)
- You don’t have to figure everything out alone.

About online counseling
- Affordable.
- Pay a low flat fee.
- Convenient.
- Do it at your own time and at your own pace. Communicate whenever you feel it's needed.
- Available now.
- There is no waiting list and no calls to make. Simply fill out a short questionnaire and send your first message.
Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.

He’s a great guy who knows what he’s doing
Mr. Dollen was a wonderful listener and offered great advice to me. I really appreciated our conversation and would recommend him in a heartbeat!
Easy to talk to very knowledgeable and full of resources
Adam is kind and understanding. He lets me talk out what my issues are and we start tracing them back to the root of whatever the problem may be. I trust his knowledge. Every session I know I am building a better foundation for myself.
Adam is outstanding! I really like his real life logical approach to issues. I would highly recommend him to anyone! When things slow down with projects I plan on reconnecting with him.
Adam has been great with helping me identify my struggles and ways we can learn to unpack my issues I struggle with on a daily basis. Offering many different forms of support through reflection and encouragement.
Adam listens to me, responds promptly and has given me great feedback and suggestions. I would absolutely recommend him as a therapist.
I find Adam to one of the most in depth thoughtful therapists I have worked with. Is is supplying me with things that force me to look at myself. I think he finally has me on the right path.
Understanding , patient and practical
Adam has been a huge help and has been a pivotal part in my journey to self healing and self betterment. He’s been someone who feels like a good friend, who I can speak with about my issues and know that there’s no judgement. He’s given me a lot of great “phrases” that help remind me of things we’ve spoken about. And I always walk away with solid action items to take into the next week, meaning things to practice and implement while living life. Overall, this has been my first experience with therapy, and it’s been an extremely positive experience thanks to Adam.
Adam is helping me through some difficult situations in my life. He is supportive and gives helpful advice. He's a great listener and gives great feedback based on my situation.
