About Adam
Adam Dollen is an Iowa licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) with 24 years of experience helping people who feel overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, or addictive behaviors. He also works with those facing attention challenges, parenting strain, anger, self-esteem struggles, and difficulties tied to family and relationship patterns.
He begins by listening to what is most troubling and then focuses on practical steps that can reduce distress. Sessions often include Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) ideas to look at emotional patterns, plus cognitive-behavioral strategies to shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. Mindfulness and solution-focused techniques are used when they fit the person's goals.
His approach is direct and task-oriented. He helps people name emotions, notice patterns that keep problems going, and try small changes between sessions. When trauma or past hurts are part of the picture, he brings trauma-informed practices into the work.
Adam emphasizes collaboration. He discusses options, explains how different methods work, and checks in about progress. That makes it easier to decide which tools to use next.

He will work collaboratively to decide which methods fit best based on the client's needs, goals, and preferences. Sessions can blend techniques so the work reflects what is most helpful in practice.
