About Delores

Delores "Dee" Willits-Rahrs brings over three decades of experience helping people navigate stress, anxiety, addiction, family conflicts, depression, and life transitions. She emphasizes respect and encouragement while working with clients to identify practical solutions and create collaborative treatment plans.

Background and approach

Her practice includes attention to issues related to aging, blended families, caregiving stress, codependency, substance use, divorce and separation, and other complex life circumstances. Dee draws on a client-centered stance that prioritizes emotional safety and partnership in therapy, along with techniques from Internal Family Systems, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, mindfulness, and solution-focused strategies.

She incorporates responsibility-based approaches to support decision-making and often weaves in forgiveness and acceptance work to help clients move forward. Her sessions blend structured tools with warmth and occasional humor to help clients engage with the process and look forward to progress.

As a licensed independent mental health practitioner (LIMHP) practicing in Nebraska, she aims to tailor care to each person’s needs and goals.

Online Approaches That Meet You Where You Are



Internal Family Systems (IFS) helps people identify and understand the different parts of themselves, encouraging a compassionate inner dialogue to resolve internal conflicts and reduce distress. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying values and building psychological flexibility, teaching practices that support coping with difficult thoughts and emotions while moving toward meaningful action.

Finding the right approach is a cooperative process. The therapist will explore a client’s goals, preferences, and presenting concerns and then recommend or blend methods that fit those needs. Clients are invited to participate in selecting strategies and shaping the plan so therapy feels relevant and achievable.

Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, making it easier to fit therapy into busy lives and reach people who cannot attend in person. These formats provide scheduling flexibility and let licensed professionals use ACT, IFS, CBT, mindfulness, and client-centered techniques in ways that suit each client's routine and communication style.
