Doreen K. Dwyer, LICSW, LCSW

Doreen works with adults who are feeling stressed, burned out, anxious, or overwhelmed by the demands of daily life. Many clients seek her support when they feel mentally overloaded, emotionally overwhelmed, or frustrated by ongoing relationship challenges. She helps clients understand what is contributing to their stress and develop practical, sustainable ways to feel more grounded, clear, and effective in their lives.

​

Her work is grounded in Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and a person centered approach. Doreen helps clients notice how thoughts, emotions, and internal pressure contribute to overwhelm while learning how to respond with greater flexibility and intention. Sessions are collaborative and focused on helping clients move toward what matters most to them rather than staying stuck in cycles of overthinking, self criticism, or exhaustion.

​

Doreen works with many adults who experience chronic overwhelm, mental clutter, emotional intensity, or difficulty managing competing demands. Some clients identify with ADHD or neurodivergence, while others are exploring these possibilities later in life. She supports clients in developing self understanding and strategies that align with how their minds work rather than forcing themselves into systems that do not fit.

​

She also works extensively with adults navigating relationship stress, communication challenges, and recurring interpersonal patterns. Doreen helps clients better understand their emotional responses, boundaries, and needs so they can engage in relationships with greater clarity and confidence.

​

Her goal is for each session to feel purposeful and useful, offering insight and tools clients can apply between sessions. Doreen provides adult focused therapy and welcomes individuals seeking thoughtful, values based care.
