Hi there! My name is Daria Dolan and I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in Houston, TX. I earned my Masters in Education from the University of St. Thomas and my Bachelors in Psychology with a Minor in Women’s Studies. I have enjoyed the opportunity to work with clients from a variety of different backgrounds with their own unique set of challenges and goals. I began my career working with children and adolescents on the Autism spectrum and am currently serving adults with dual-diagnosis and addiction issues.
My therapeutic approach utilizes Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which recognizes the relationship between your thoughts, feelings and behaviors. This approach is evidence-based and can be beneficial in treating a myriad of issues. My ultimate goal is to provide support and feedback for my clients and create a safe place to explore thoughts and feelings. I believe that the most important part of therapy is to establish and maintain rapport. I look forward to getting to know my clients and supporting them with kindness, honesty, and a little bit of humor.
I appreciate your willingness to reach out and I would be grateful for the opportunity to be there with you on your journey. I believe that everyone can benefit from therapy and my aim is to promote self-awareness and self-esteem by creating goals that build upon existing strengths and personal interests. The therapeutic relationship is one that is based on open-mindedness, trust, and a willingness to change. I encourage you to commit to and invest in yourself and I hope I can be a good fit for you.

I have only been working with Daria for a couple of weeks, but she is the best therapist I’ve worked with ever. She totally understands exactly what I am talking about and gives me excellent things to think about and fill out in order to understand me better. She makes me feel very heard, and like I’m her only patient instead of just a name on her list. I am so happy to have been connected with her, and see myself benefiting from her expertise and guidance greatly! So thankful for her.
