Work with Delores Smith (MSW, LCSW) - BetterHelp Online Therapist

I feel supported and understood. Delores presents suggestions that are not judgemental. She guides me to solutions instead of telling me how to resolve my problems. I appreciate the safe environment she creates that allows me to speak freely.

Delores is so helpful in helping recognize the origins of anxiety and dismantling irrational thoughts. She provided me with thought provoking questions and helped me see aspects of my perspective that could change in order to be more effective and positive.

The main thing that I can say about Delores is that’s she’s expert at providing sound, reliable feedback as a demonstration of her ability to really hear what her client is saying as a commitment to their mental health and well-being. I’ve had a number of counselors who are part of BetterHelp. By far, Delores is the best, most professional counselor yet!

Delores is amazing. I have been in counseling before but have never felt as positive about the process before. Not only does Delores listen, she asks the questions that require thought and reflection. Delores is extremely gifted.

Written on Jan 11, 2021 after therapy with Delores for 2 weeks on issues concerning bipolar disorder

Delores is consistent and insightful. She asks open ended questions that really make me think and I feel seen/heard and safe to open up. She responds consistently which tells me she values my time as well as her own. She is both professional and relatable, she gives me straight talk when I need it and offers gentle empathy in moment I share pain. While I am the one who chose to seek help and change my behaviors, it’s a relief and blessing to know someone is listening, offering guidance, being a sounding board for me to collect my thoughts and see my actions.

Delores is completely nonjudgemental and really helps you think through your immediate feelings and perspectives. I'm so grateful to work with her and am comfortable either letting her structure our sessions, or structuring our sessions on my own -- she's content to do either.

Seems like a very experienced woman that would take all the knowledge and time she's got to help those who need it. She's supportive and you can talk with her knowing that whenever or wherever you do it, you can think of it as a safe place, where judgement's out of the table.

She's a great listener. Very prompt for appointment times and in response to messages. I feel very comfortable with her.

Written on Sep 08, 2020 after therapy with Delores for 3 weeks on issues concerning stress, anxiety, family conflicts, self esteem, and compassion fatigue

I think my counselor was very supportive. The day I spoke with her I had high anxiety. I think she understood why I was so anxious and had compassion towards what I was going through. And I’ve been very impressed that Dolores has reached out and checked on me a few times. If I was isolating by her reaching out would engage me. I think that is very kind of her. I also feel that it makes me feel cared about.
I think she has qualities that makes her rare because many people wouldn’t devote the time in connecting with their clients.
