Background and approach

Dominique supports people navigating grief, major life changes, and intimacy-related struggles. Her approach blends client-centered listening with structured techniques from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy. She also uses Existential ideas to look at meaning and direction, and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing for trauma-related concerns when appropriate.

These methods are chosen to match each person’s needs and goals. Dominique helps with a wide range of concerns, including mood disorders, ADHD, body image and eating issues, parenting stresses, blended family challenges, and compassion fatigue. She addresses common relationship problems such as commitment worries, communication breakdowns, and infidelity in individual sessions.

Sessions are available to English speakers in Ohio and internationally. Dominique emphasizes collaboration - she and the client set goals and try different strategies until they find what helps. Taking a first step can feel hard, and she aims to make that step feel manageable and hopeful.

How Dominique’s Approaches Work Online

Dominique uses Client-Centered Therapy to establish a warm, accepting space where people can talk about what matters to them. This approach focuses on listening and reflecting so clients feel understood and can explore their own goals.

She also draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which looks at links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches concrete skills to reduce anxiety or low mood. Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills are used when people need help with emotion regulation, distress tolerance, or improving relationships.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Dominique tailors methods to each person’s needs, goals, and preferences and checks in regularly to see what is helping. Clients and therapist decide together which techniques to try and adjust the plan over time.

Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different schedules. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and skill practice, phone sessions can be a good alternative when bandwidth is limited, and chat or messaging supports brief check-ins or ongoing reflections between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and to keep momentum between meetings.
