About Dolliene
Dolliene Raabe is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Missouri with 20 years of professional experience. She works with adults who are dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, grief, relationship concerns, self-esteem problems, compassion fatigue, and life changes. She also addresses intimacy-related issues and sleep difficulties.
Her approach treats the client as the expert in their own story. She helps people identify strengths they already have and use those strengths to manage current problems. Sessions focus on practical steps and clear goals rather than abstract theory.
Dolliene often uses techniques drawn from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going. She pairs that with a solution-focused outlook to help people find small, workable changes they can try between sessions. This combination is aimed at producing steady, manageable progress.
She has additional experience with blended family stress, caregiver strain, chronic illness and pain, communication problems, divorce and separation, and family of origin issues. Those topics frequently come up in sessions and are treated with concrete strategies and problem-solving.
People who come for help can expect short-term planning alongside longer-term skill building. Dolliene supports adults who want practical ways to cope, improve relationships, and regain a sense of control over daily life.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online sessions
She frequently draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which looks at how thoughts and behaviors affect mood. CBT breaks problems into understandable parts and offers practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns, which can help with anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and stress.She also uses Solution-Focused Therapy, a short-term approach that focuses on clear goals and small steps. This method helps people identify what is already working and build on those strengths to address relationship issues, caregiver strain, or life transitions.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Dolliene will collaborate with each person to choose methods that fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That decision is reviewed as progress is made so the plan can be adjusted.

Many people find it useful for maintaining continuity during life changes while still working on concrete skills and communication strategies.
