Getting to know Dolores Larkin

I am Dolores (Del) Larkin, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in the state of Illinois. I became licensed in 2001. I earned my Master's degree in Social Work from Loyola University. I focus on issues such as anxiety, depression, stress reduction, grief, adult ADHD, relationship issues, substance/alcohol use, and codependency. My approach I work with each client to best match the intervention specifically for them. The interventions I use most often include Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), Solution-Focused, and Psychodynamic therapy (talk therapy), or a combination of these approaches. My focus I work with clients experiencing mood disorders such as anxiety and depression, stress-related problems, relationship or work issues, past trauma, grief, life transitions, adult ADHD, substance/alcohol use, and codependency. I have over 20 years of experience treating individuals with these challenges. My communication style I tell each client that the therapy session is theirs and that we always need to address what is important to them. I am an excellent listener but not afraid to ask questions or offer suggestions. Most of my clients comment that I am easy to talk to. My journey to therapy Around 1994, I decided I wanted to change careers. I knew I wanted to help people but did not want to do anything medical, like nursing. I was in my own therapy at the time and explored what a change to social work would require. I went back to school to get my Master's degree in Social Work and have never regretted that decision. My goals for you I encourage clients to have one or two goals that we work on together, then add others as we progress in therapy. Establishing goals is always client-driven.
