About Adam
Adam Dollen is a licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) in Iowa with 24 years of experience. He helps people who feel overwhelmed, stuck, or unable to calm racing thoughts. Many come because relationships are strained, anger feels hard to manage, or day-to-day stress has become too heavy.
He uses straightforward methods so people can see change. Sessions focus on clear skills and real-life adjustments. Clients learn tools to manage strong emotions, reduce anxiety, and improve communication in their relationships.
Background and approach
Adam draws from client-centered work to build trust and keep conversations grounded in what matters to each person. He also uses cognitive behavioral strategies to address unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. Mindfulness practices are offered to help with focus and emotional regulation.
Emotionally-focused ideas are used when relationship patterns and attachment concerns come up. Solution-focused techniques help people set short-term goals and notice progress quickly. Therapy is tailored to the person rather than following a fixed script.
Practical issues Adam commonly addresses include stress, anxiety, depression, grief, ADHD, addictions, trauma and abuse, parenting challenges, and anger. He also supports people facing family problems, communication struggles, and feelings of isolation. To begin, a short matching questionnaire and scheduling step connect a person to sessions.
Therapy sessions are available by phone, video calls, live chat, or text-based messaging, with subscription-based billing that can be canceled at any time.

Approach-driven care that fits your life
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and building a respectful relationship so people can talk about what matters most. This approach helps when someone feels stuck, unheard, or unsure how to move forward in life.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It teaches clear strategies to change unhelpful thinking and reduce anxiety, depression, and impulsive reactions like anger.
Emotionally-Focused Therapy helps when relationship patterns and attachment concerns cause pain. It supports people in identifying emotion-driven cycles and shifting how they respond to others.
Finding the right approach is part of therapy. The therapist will work together with each person to choose methods that fit their goals and preferences, adjusting techniques as progress is made.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility. Video is useful for face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can be simpler when video is not convenient or bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text-based messaging can support brief check-ins, homework follow-up, and ongoing encouragement between sessions.
These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule while keeping focus on practical tools and emotional work.
