Delores "Dee" Willits-Rahrs helps people manage stress, anxiety, addictions, depression, and major life changes. She is clear about focusing on practical solutions and supports people working through family-related concerns. Dee practices in Nebraska and brings a steady, straightforward presence to sessions.

Dee is a Licensed Independent Mental Health Practitioner - LIMHP, with 31 years in the field. She emphasizes a client-centered approach that centers the person's goals. Sessions are collaborative: she and the client assess problems and make a plan together.

Her work draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, mindfulness, and solution-focused methods. Those approaches are used to identify unhelpful patterns and learn small, useful skills that change daily life. She also uses techniques that encourage personal responsibility and clearer decision making.

Dee often helps people dealing with addiction, codependency, divorce and separation, caregiver stress, and blended family issues. She also supports people facing aging and geriatric concerns, chronic illness like cancer, and co-occurring mental health conditions. Forgiveness and acceptance are themes she brings into therapy when appropriate.

People meet her in a respectful, encouraging space where humor and humanity are welcome. Sessions aim to teach practical tools, reduce overwhelm, and build better habits. Dee invites prospective clients to start with a short matching questionnaire and then schedule when ready.

How her approaches work in online therapy

Delores uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. CBT often focuses on concrete skills and short-term goals that can reduce anxiety and improve mood.

She also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, which helps people clarify their values and take action toward what matters. ACT can be useful for coping with chronic stress, loss, and ongoing health challenges.

Finding the right approach is part of the process and she works together with clients to choose what fits best. Sessions begin by identifying goals and trying approaches that match a person's needs and preferences, then adjusting the plan over time.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversations, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, and chat or messaging can work for brief check-ins or when a written format feels more comfortable. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, caregiving, and travel schedules without losing continuity of care.
